Rebel Wilson Sued Over The Deb Sabotage, Denies Claims

Rebel Wilson's directorial debut, the musical comedy The Deb, remains unreleased amid escalating legal disputes with its producers. The U.K.-based production company AI Film has filed a lawsuit in Australia alleging that Wilson deliberately sabotaged the film's release and caused financial and reputational damage. Wilson strongly denies the allegations, calling them "complete nonsense" and accusing the producers of bullying and harassment after she raised concerns about financial mismanagement and workplace misconduct. The dispute follows an earlier lawsuit filed by the producers in California in 2024, claiming Wilson sought credit for work she did not do on the film's original music. Despite the legal battles, The Deb premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival but has not been publicly distributed since. Wilson has responded by sharing the film's opening scene on Instagram and revealed plans to release the movie’s first song while working on her second directorial project.
