Rebel Wilson Wins Defamation Suit
22 Jul
Summary
- Rebel Wilson has won a defamation case brought against her.
- The judge dismissed claims of harm to reputation.
- MacInnes must pay Wilson's legal costs.
Actor Rebel Wilson has successfully defended herself in a defamation lawsuit initiated by Charlotte MacInnes. Justice Elizabeth Raper, presiding over the case on Wednesday, ruled that MacInnes failed to prove that Wilson's Instagram posts caused, or were likely to cause, significant harm to her reputation. This pivotal decision led to the dismissal of the lawsuit.
MacInnes had alleged that Wilson's posts suggested she had falsely withdrawn a sexual harassment complaint to advance her career. She argued these publications led to online abuse and damaged her employment prospects. However, the court found no grounds to support these claims, ultimately ordering MacInnes to bear Wilson's legal costs.
