Rebel Wilson is embroiled in a legal battle over her film *The Deb*, with producers suing her for breach of contract and defamation, while she counters with claims of duress and seeks damages in California.

Rebel Wilson faces a legal dispute over her directorial debut, *The Deb*, which premiered at TIFF in September 2024 but has not yet had a wide release. Producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron, and Vince Holden sued Wilson and her company Camp Sugar in NSW Supreme Court, alleging breach of contract, defamation, and misleading statements over her public claims of embezzlement, harassment, and obstruction. They seek an anti-suit injunction to block Wilson’s parallel lawsuit in California, where she is seeking damages, unpaid fees, and contract revocation, claiming she signed under duress. Wilson’s team argues the California case is valid due to her residence and an oral agreement made in Los Angeles. Lead actor Charlotte MacInnes denies the harassment allegations and has sued Wilson for defamation. Rialto has acquired Australian and New Zealand distribution rights, with a planned January theatrical release. Justice Elisabeth Peden is reviewing the injunction request.
