Rebel Wilson wins defamation case brought by co-star after bitter dispute

Rebel Wilson has won a defamation case brought by her co-star Charlotte MacInnes, after a dispute that unfolded over several years and across multiple countries.

According to a monitored public feed from The Guardian World, a judge found that Wilson did not defame MacInnes in a series of social media posts. The case centred on comments made by the Hollywood star, who is best known for *Pitch Perfect* and made her directorial debut with *The Deb*. MacInnes had sued Wilson over the posts, alleging they damaged her reputation.

The feed summary indicates the dispute was bitter and long-running, but it does not provide the full details of the allegations, the arguments presented in court, or the judge’s reasoning. It does confirm that MacInnes was the lead actor in *The Deb*, the film at the centre of the broader fallout between the two.

Wilson, whose career has spanned acting, comedy and filmmaking, had been publicly involved in the disagreement around the project. The outcome of the case marks a significant legal win for her in a matter that had drawn attention in entertainment and Australian news circles.

The report is based on a monitored public feed and has been compiled from the available summary information. Novexa News has not independently verified further details from court records or additional reporting.
