\n\tRebel Wilson<\/a>\u00a0is countersuing\u00a0The Deb<\/em>\u00a0producers Amanda Ghost, Cameron Gregor and Vince Holden, accusing them of a \u201ctroubling pattern\u201d of \u201ctheft, bullying and sexual misconduct.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe cross-complaint comes months after Ghost, Gregor and Holden\u00a0sued Wilson for defamation<\/a>\u00a0in July after she initially accused them of sexual harassment and embezzlement in an Instagram video. The producing trio alleged in their lawsuit that Wilson lied in an attempt to release her movie\u00a0The Deb<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 which Wilson directors, produced and starred in \u2014 at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, as well as secure a writing credit on the film.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilson\u2019s new suit alleges that Ghost was sexually harassing the film\u2019s lead actress, Charlotte MacInnes, and \u201cforced MacInnes to live in her Bondi Beach penthouse apartment with her,\u201d where \u201cGhost took a shower and a bath with MacInnes.\u201d It also claimed that \u201cGhost was overheard making overtly sexual remarks to MacInnes on set.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement to\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em>, MacInnes said, \u201cThere 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 I am saying this again now to draw a line under it. Making false accusations undermines real victims, and I won\u2019t be the subject of a fabricated narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Wilson\u2019s suit, Ghost, Gregor and Holden are also accused of scheming to inflate the film\u2019s budget and pocket the excess funds, according to the complaint. The suit said they \u201cembezzled AU $900,000 from the film\u2019s budget to be split between them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Wilson reported the allegations to executive producer Danny Cohen, which he allegedly ignored, according to the suit, that\u2019s when the producing trio \u201corchestrated a malicious and unyielding retaliatory campaign directed at her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWilson claimed that the ongoing threats and intimidation tactics led her to hire \u201cpersonal security on the set of\u00a0The Deb<\/em>,\u201d so she could finish filming. The complaint also alleged that Gregor threatened to \u201cterminate\u201d the project and \u201cfire its approximately 300 cast and crew members,\u201d unless she signed a document \u201cstating she withdrew her complaint about Ghost\u2019s sexual misconduct\u201d allegations.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilson\u2019s attorney Bryan Freedman wrote in a statement, \u201cAmanda Ghost, Cameron Gregor, and Vince Holden attempted to manipulate the narrative by recklessly filing an outlandish lawsuit. Their real problem? Only a fraction of their outrageous conduct has been revealed thus far. In their desperation to shift the story, they neglected to consider that this strategy would only lead to RW\u2019s filing of a cross-complaint which exhibits a plethora of their shocking misconduct which there are many witnesses to. Many brave people have come forward who have had similar dealings with Amanda Ghost. While unfortunate, this was not a surprise. Stay tuned, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There is much more to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTHR<\/em>\u00a0has reached out to reps for Cohen, Ghost, Gregor, and Holden for comment.<\/p>\n
