Overview
- Amanda Ghost began giving evidence Friday, with the court shown Wilson’s texts saying MacInnes called the bath a “bizarre situation” and “all good,” not that she felt uncomfortable.
- An Instagram story posted hours earlier by Wilson’s wife showing forgetful Dory was tendered, which MacInnes said mocked her testimony and could support aggravated damages.
- MacInnes maintains she never complained to Wilson about Ghost after the September 5, 2023 Bondi bath to warm Ghost during a cold‑water reaction.
- Wilson denies defamation and argues it is true that MacInnes first complained then “changed her story” after Ghost helped her with auditions, a stage role and a record deal.
- The trial is probing reputational harm, contemporaneous messages and PR efforts, with The Deb now in Australian cinemas but still without a U.S. distributor.
