Rebel Wilson accused of calling actress a 'prostitute'

Rebel Wilson has come under fire following a series of Instagram posts targeting Charlotte MacInnes. In these posts, Wilson accuses MacInnes of cultural appropriation, obstructing the release of “The Deb,” and inconsistently addressing allegations of sexual harassment.

During a court session on Thursday, Sue Chrysanthou SC referenced an article from the Daily Mail that highlighted Wilson’s critical posts about MacInnes.

One of Wilson’s posts included a photograph of MacInnes performing a song from “The Deb” aboard the luxury yacht of billionaire Len Blavatnik.

Wilson testified that she obtained the image from an Instagram group opposed to MacInnes.

Ms. Chrysanthou questioned Wilson, saying, “So someone who dislikes my client shared a picture of her singing, and you felt compelled to post about it?”

Wilson responded, “Yes, I was clearly emotional. ‘The Deb’ is a deeply personal project for me—I’ve spent five years developing it, and it’s been stalled due to litigation that Charlotte is involved in.”

Ms Chrysanthiou said: ‘So you’re attacking her because you were upset … Do you accept what you did to her in publishing this post?’

Wilson said: ‘No, I don’t.’

Ms Chrysanthou said: ‘OK, well let’s go through it. You accused her of cultural appropriation.’

On the super yacht, MacInnes wore a long, baby blue dress with a sheer scarf over her arms and head.

Wilson said: ‘To me, the outfit looks like a sari and, to my knowledge, Charlotte is not of Indian heritage.’

Ms Chrysanthou said: ‘Do you think it’s OK for a person in your position to attack someone in her position for what she was wearing?’

Wilson said she believed her post to be true.

Ms Chrysanthou continued: ‘There are lots of things about a woman’s appearance that could be true, but it’s utterly inappropriate for someone to comment about it?

‘Is it OK for someone in your position to comment on what someone was wearing at a function?’

Wilson said: ‘I don’t see any problem.’

Ms Chrysanthou pointed out that MacInnes’ outfit was not Indian. Wilson said she believed it was.

She asked whether Wilson accepted the comments about MacInnes were damaging.

Wilson said: ‘Absolutely not, I’m a professional person.’

Ms Chrysanthou asked: ‘Did you just say you’re a professional person?’

‘You put up a Instagram post publicly accusing her of being for sale, in a film where people have invested $22million?’

Wilson said she was been slammed by crisis management firms ’employed by Russian oligarch billionaire’ Len Blavatnik.

Wilson then confirmed that she was paid about $1million for the film, was owed another $500,000, and that she was not living on the poverty line.
