    Amid defamation lawsuit, 'The Deb' cast, crew support Rebel Wilson

    What's the story

    Australian comedian, actor, and director Rebel Wilson is currently embroiled in a defamation lawsuit filed by the producers of her directorial debut film The Deb.

    The lawsuit was initiated last week by Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron, and Vince Holden.

    This legal action came after Wilson accused the trio of inappropriate behavior on set and embezzling money from the production.

    Amid such a tumultuous time, she has received support from her colleagues.

    The suit

    But first, know what defamation suit is all about

    In their lawsuit, Ghost, Cameron, and Holden alleged that Wilson fabricated lies about them.

    They claim this occurred after they refused her "unreasonable demands," which included a request for full writing credit for the screenplay.

    The script was actually reportedly penned by Hannah Reilly.

    The lawsuit also accused Wilson of refusing to collaborate with them, "absconding from the project for months at a time," behaving unprofessionally with employees, and making "unauthorized disclosures about the film."

    Colleague praise

    'The Deb' cast members expressed support for Wilson

    Actor Dolores Dunbar publicly praised Wilson's directorial skills, stating that working with her was a "joyous and inclusive experience."

    Dunbar told Page Six, "With over 60 years of experience as a performer, but making my debut in film, I can say I've never been part of a more joyous and inclusive experience."

    "Since then, I've shared with family and friends how, as a director, [Wilson] surpassed my expectations."

    Fellow cast member Shane Jacobson described Wilson as "incredibly supportive and collaborative."

    Wilson's response

    Wilson responded to lawsuit, challenges producers

    In response to the lawsuit, Wilson has defended herself on Instagram.

    She dismissed the allegations as "rubbish" and insisted that her words were "not defamatory if they were true."

    "So good luck f-kwit 'producers trying to prove anything other than I'm a professional who did an amazing job as a first time female director!," she earlier wrote on Instagram.

    The plaintiffs' lawyers have declined to comment on the support Wilson has received from her colleagues.
