Overview
- Charlotte MacInnes told the Federal Court she feels numb after a stream of abusive messages, and affidavits from her boyfriend and colleagues described fear and distress linked to Rebel Wilson’s Instagram posts.
- At issue are four Instagram stories in 2024 and 2025 in which Wilson said MacInnes complained about Amanda Ghost and later changed her account, a claim MacInnes rejects.
- Wilson’s legal team says the case turns on whether that complaint was made and then revised, not on proving sexual harassment, and argues truth is the core defense.
- MacInnes’ barrister framed a 2023 Bondi swim and shared bath as a response to a cold-induced medical episode, with a GP recalling a call from Ghost, and the court noted it is assessing the parties’ beliefs rather than making a medical finding.
- The court was shown a legal letter in which Wilson accused co-producers of embezzlement and coercion, which Gregor Cameron denied in cross‑examination, as the broader dispute continues to affect The Deb’s release in Australia without a U.S. distributor and draws scrutiny to MacInnes’ 2025 record deal.
