Rebel Wilson in 'last chance' call over $1m film fee

Rebel Wilson appeared in Sydney's NSW Supreme Court on Monday to engage in a last-chance phone call with the co-producers of her directorial debut, The Deb. The producers, Vince Holden, Gregor Cameron and Amanda Ghost, claim Wilson breached consumer law, made defamatory statements about them on her social media, and engaged in a pattern of misconduct during the film's production.

Wilson, in turn, accused the producers of embezzling funds, preventing the film's release, and undermining negotiations with potential distributors. The producers allege Wilson's actions caused economic loss, potentially damaging a film distributor's interest and harming their reputation. The Deb, released in April 2026, has the potential to break even or generate multimillion-dollar profits based on its predicted worldwide revenue.
