Rebel Wilson responds to 'The Deb' controversy
Washington [US], May 21 (ANI): Actress Rebel Wilson cleared the air after social media posts about 'The Deb' made headlines amid the ongoing legal fight surrounding the movie. In response to a video of 'The Deb' actress Charlotte MacInnes singing at Cannes from the yacht owned by the film's financier Len Blavatnik, The Deb's Instagram account posted stories with captions critical of MacInnes. Wilson is said to be in control of the account for the movie that does not have a release plan in light of the project's legal battle, according to The Hollywood Reporter. '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,' read one caption. A follow-up post included the message, '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,' as per the outlet. Wilson's team noted in a statement shared to address the posts, 'The entire Deb crew is looking forward for the film to finally be shown to the world. Rebel is so proud of this film and in awe of all of the hard work everyone involved put into the creation of her directorial debut.' Earlier, Wilson shared a video on Instagram accusing producers Amanda Ghost, Gregory Cameron and Vince Holden of embezzlement and sexual harassment. She also accused them of preventing the film from premiering at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The producers then sued Wilson for defamation and claimed that she was attempting to land a writing credit on the film, which led Wilson to countersue months later, as per the outlet. 'The Deb' is a musical film centring on a high school outcast played by Natalie Abbott, who teams up with her cousin (MacInnes), as the pair aim to shake up the upcoming debutante ball. Marking her feature directorial debut, Wilson helmed the movie from Hannah Reilly's screenplay, adapting the stage show that debuted in Sydney in 2022, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)

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