7News Just In — Rebel Wilson grilled in defamation trial. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Welcome back. It's been a bruising day in court for Rebel Wilson as she fights a defamation case from a former movie co-star. In an intense day on the witness stand, the actress has come under sustained attack from lawyers, alleging she's a liar and a bully. The main act, Rebel Wilson, arriving at the federal court, the leading lady wants describing herself as a champion for women. Thanks guys, I'll see you a bit later. You are not a champion of women at all, are you? Yes, if you look over my 25-year career, you can see many evidences of me supporting women, but now being sued by actress Charlotte McKinnis. You bullied her privately and publicly. That's absolute nonsense. McKinnis is a star of the Rebel Wilson-directed musical The Deb. This town is where feminism has come to die. See, she's been defamed in social media posts when Wilson accused her of retracting a sexual harassment claim to further her career.
All those statements are truthful. It stems from McKinnis sharing a bath with the film's producer Amanda Ghost. Rebel Wilson denied she'd ordered websites aimed at smearing Ghost. Miss Wilson, you are being utterly dishonest as you sit there. No. In an often fiery day in court, lawyers for Charlotte McKinnis frequently questioned Rebel Wilson's honesty, accusing her of telling a pack of lies. The act was responded, I, on oath, I'm telling the truth. Rebel Wilson will return to court tomorrow for further cross-examination. Christmas, seven years.
