Rebel Wilson breaks silence after costars sue her over harassment reports
Actor Rebel Wilson has publicly addressed his legal dispute with ‘The Deb’ star Charlotte McInnes following sexual assault allegations involving producer Amanda Ghost.
Actor Rebel Wilson has broken his silence regarding the lawsuit filed against him by Charlotte McInnes, star of the upcoming film ‘The Deb’, after Wilson reported an alleged sexual harassment incident involving producer Amanda Ghost during production. Wilson addressed the controversy in an interview broadcast on 60 Minutes Australia on 23 November 2025, saying that she felt compelled to act in her capacity as director.
Wilson explained, “She came to me, she made what I clearly anticipated was a complaint of sexual harassment, and it was my duty to act on that.” He said reporting the incident led to “retaliation against me.”
McInnes, through her legal team, has “vigorously and repeatedly denied that she was the victim of sexual harassment.” His representatives said, “Wilson has continued to publicly spread these allegations, leading to today’s legal notice,” and Wilson will have 28 days to respond to the notice, including offering a correction or apology, before formal legal action is taken.
McInnes also released a statement: “There is no truth to the allegations involving me. I gave a statement to the film team when it was first made in September 2023 and am saying this now to draw a line under it. Making false allegations undermines real victims, and I will not be the subject of a fabrication.”
during 60 minutes In the interview, Wilson recalled McInnes’ reporting, “Amanda Ghost asked me to take a shower with her, and it made me feel really uncomfortable.” Asked if McInnes “used those words,” Wilson replied, “She told me she was uncomfortable, yes.”
Wilson described the tense atmosphere, saying, “A lot of things happened, including some big incident where me and local producers were locked in a room and forced to sign documents,” comparing it to “KBG”.
Legal filings include Wilson’s claim that the set was “marked by a disturbing pattern of serious and illegal behavior, including theft, bullying.” “In a way I was the target of this constant bullying and harassment because I spoke out about the behavior of these UK manufacturers,” she said.
Reflecting on the controversy, Wilson said 60 minutes australia“I think it’s absurd that it’s gotten to this point. I think it’s a ridiculous waste of the Australian legal system,” and asserted, “(McInnes) told me something, I acted on it in my position as the director of the film, (and) I had a moral, ethical responsibility to do so.”
