Rebel Wilson Defamation Trial Enters Final Day With 'Fudging' Email and New Affidavit

New filings sharpen the court's test of Wilson's truth defense.

Overview

  • Across a ninth and final day Friday, producer Greer Simpkin took the stand and faced her September 2023 email saying Charlotte MacInnes was “walking back” a statement and doing “some fudging.”
  • Wilson denied arranging a Snapchat hack or authoring anonymous “take‑down” sites, even as PR texts shown in court suggested she asked for such pages.
  • A Wilson affidavit released Friday claimed singer FKA Twigs told her of unwanted conduct by producer Amanda Ghost, a claim not tested in court that Ghost rejects.
  • Former agent Charles Collier, appearing by video, called the dispute a “car crash” and said he pushed for an ethics clause to set standards for Ghost after the bath incident.
  • The case turns on whether MacInnes made and then retracted a complaint about a shared bath taken in swimsuits after a Bondi medical episode, and she says Wilson’s posts damaged her reputation and left her feeling unsafe at work.
