Rebel Wilson Grilled in Defamation Trial

0:00On April 28th, Rebel Wilson is in the hot seat at a defamation trial in Sydney's Federal Court, sued by Charlotte McKennais, the lead actor in her, directorial debut film The Deb. Wilson claims she champions women on set, but Maconess's lawyer, Sue Christentow, is grilling her heart over social media attacks on Maconesson, producer Amanda Ghost. Earlier this week, Christentow hid Wilson with questions about a past defamation settlement where she paid $120,000 for. Wrongly naming a journalist online, back in 2016, Wilson said she couldn't recall it and admitted to only a normal memory looking confused on the stand. The lawyer accused Wilson straight up of making things up, especially about why she skipped court after the first day blaming immediate scram outside, and saying she caught the rest on YouTube instead, over 1,100 people tuned into the live stream when she took the stand. Then there's the drama with a crisis PR firm. Wilson's team hired, linked to takedown websites, slamming Ghost with wild allegations like comparing her to Galaine Maxwell.

This cross-examts stretches two days with the whole trial streaming live, and Maconess pushing for damages and a gag order on those claims. Everyone watching what drops next from Wilson's testimony.
