Rebel Wilson cleared in defamation case brought by actress in her own film
Wilson was accused of defaming young Australian actress Charlotte MacInnes, but cleared by a Sydney court.
Australian actor and comedian Rebel Wilson has been cleared in a defamation case brought by actress Charlotte MacInnes, according to a Sydney court ruling reported by the BBC World.
The dispute centred on claims that Wilson had defamed MacInnes, a young Australian actress who appeared in a film made by Wilson. The court found in Wilson’s favour, bringing the legal action to an end.
The case had drawn attention because it involved two performers linked through the same production, with the allegations arising from comments that MacInnes said harmed her reputation. The Sydney court’s decision means Wilson is not liable in the matter.
No further details of the judgment were included in the monitored public feed used for this report, and the BBC World summary did not provide additional information on the arguments made in court or any response from either side after the ruling.
