Welcome back. Rebel Wilson is set to take the stand today in her high profile case, defending herself against a defamation claim brought by her former co-star Charlotte McGinnis. For more, we're joined by her team at Editor P to Ford. What's going to happen today, P? What are we likely to hear? Well, Rebel will take the stand, so that instantly creates a lot of interest. Throughout last week in this case, there were a lot of allegations that were aired, a lot of claims about her behaviour. This will be a chance for her today to defend herself, to explain some of these things, to deny some of these things. There may be extraordinary coincidences that we have to accept that did take place. So Rebel will be on the stand today and tomorrow, at the federal court of this being livestreamed as well. So in the past, when we've seen Rebel in this situation, she likes to try and charm the courtroom, do some gags, make it light-hearted. I don't know that this will work in this situation if she attempted to do that, but there will be a lot of interest to see how this plays out, because obviously with Charlotte McGinnis,

who is the person who's brought about this action, but Rebel, of course, is the person that's directed at, this is her chance to now provide all the reasons why she was not guilty of defamation. Okay, Pete.
