Rebel Wilson SLAMS the lead star of her own film in scathing social media post

Rebel Wilson SLAMS the lead star of her own film in scathing social media post

Daily Mail​16-05-2025

Rebel Wilson is once again shining light on the conflicts surrounding her stalled film The Deb.
Taking to Instagram Stories on the musical's official social media account, the 45-year-old entertainer slammed star actress Charlotte MacInnes.
Wilson is embroiled in a legal battle with The Deb producers Vincent Holden, Gregor Cameron, and Amanda Ghost after accusing them of misconduct and embezzlement. They countered by filing a defamation lawsuit against her.
She also accused them of 'inappropriate behavior' toward MacInnes, which the rising star has denied.
On Friday the Bride Hard actress reposted footage of Charlotte performing at Cannes, and wrote scathingly, 'Charlotte MacInnes in a culturally inappropriate Indian outfit on Len Blavatnik's luxury yacht in Cannes - ironically singing a song from a movie that will never get released because of her lies and support for the people blocking the film's release.'
In a second post, she wrote sarcastically, 'So glad you got your record deal Charlotte at the expense of the 300 people who worked on The Deb and really wanna see it released.'
In September 2024 Charlotte denied that there was any inappropriate behavior, prompting Rebel to allege that the actress rescinded her accusations to score a new job from one of the producers.
McInnes told DailyMail.com at the time: 'There is no truth to the allegations made involving me. I made a statement to the film team when this was first said in September 2023 and am saying this now to draw a line under it. Making false accusations undermines real victims and I won't be the subject of a fabricated narrative.'
After working with one of the producers, Amanda, on The Deb, Charlotte was later cast by her as Daisy in Florence Welch's musical Gatsby: An American Myth in the show's pre-Broadway run at Boston's A.R.T.
Rebel subsequently shared a screenshot of the Daily Mail article on her Instagram Stories and wrote, per Just Jared, 'When an actress on her first feature film is asked by a producer to stay in the same apartment as them, and then makes a complaint to me as the director saying said producer 'asked her to have a bath and shower with her and it made her feel uncomfortable' – what am I supposed to do Of course I reported it.'
She added, 'There is no world where this is acceptable. The fact that this girl has been employed now by this 'producer' in the lead role of a production called GATSBY (ART Boston) and given a record label – should be all the proof you need as to why she has now changed her story.'
In documents filed to the Los Angeles superior court and obtained by The Guardian in November 2024, MacInnes claimed she informed Wilson that she was never sexually harassed by Amanda.
Despite Charlotte's claim that she informed Wilson harassment had never occurred, the Pitch Perfect actress still brought the accusations of mistreatment forward.
'I was deeply disturbed by this behavior by Wilson, who was the director of the film and in a position of authority over me,' MacInnes alleged.
Charlotte added in her official statement: 'Nothing that I told Wilson could reasonably have conveyed that I was reporting any misconduct, because there was no misconduct.
'I also understand [there were] claims that I was subjected to "depraved sexual demands" and that "MacInnes remains captive by Ghost and (fellow producer) Cameron as she is shuttled from city to city with them including Boston, New York, and London."

Shoppers go wild for Cadbury's new chocolate bar flavour on shelves at local store

SHOPPERS have been scrambling to taste a band new Cadbury chocolate bar as it hits store shelves. The new tasty treat has caught the eye of many consumers - but Cadbury has said it won't be around forever. 2 The Twirl White Dipped was teased by the company last month in a Facebook video. These bars are much like Cadbury's popular Twirls - but are coated with white chocolate instead. "OK but we've really outdone ourselves with this one," they told shoppers. They described the flavour as "unreal, indulgent, smooth, swirly, creamy, melty, new, and mouthwatering". But a few weeks on from its tantalising announcement, the chocolate bar has now been spotted in stores. Its presence was flagged by the popular Facebook account Newfoodsuk. The account posted: "Wow, these are outstanding - closest bar you'll ever get to a Cadbury Snowflake! "We spotted these at our local convenience store!" The bars hit shelves on June 2, but are only set to be available for a limited time. Katya Savelieva, Brand Manager for Twirl at Mondelez International, said: 'Cadbury Twirl has always been a fan favourite, so it's no surprise that limited editions like Cadbury Twirl Orange and Cadbury Twirl Mint had everyone talking. "With smooth white chocolate surrounding our iconic milk chocolate swirls, the new Twirl White Dipped is an indulgence you won't want to miss - grab it as soon as you can and experience Twirl like never before.' Twirl bar were first released in Ireland in 1985, as a single finger bar. They hit UK shelves two years later in its classic double finger form. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
