Rebel Wilson speaks out after winning $3.6 million defamation lawsuit
"To me though, this case wasn’t about the money."
mashable.comHere’s the latest I can confirm from available reporting about Rebel Wilson’s defamation-related legal cases:
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge rejected Rebel Wilson’s bid to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by three producers behind her directorial debut, The Deb—meaning the case will proceed.[1]
Separately, Rebel Wilson previously won a major defamation case against Bauer Media Australia over magazine articles; reporting at the time described a large damages award.[3]
There’s also more recent reporting indicating the producers in the U.S. matter have sought a delay/stay related to investigating an anonymous website they say published defamatory material connected to the dispute.[6]
If you tell me which case you mean (the U.S. “The Deb” producers lawsuit vs. the earlier Australia Bauer Media matter), I can summarize the most relevant developments in order.
