Rebel Wilson is opening up about facing a slew of lawsuits and allegations surrounding her directorial debut The Deb.
While appearing on 60 Minutes Australia, the actress reflected on how the ordeal has been like a “worst nightmare.”
“It came out of left field these issues and yeah it was horrible to deal with and I had to try to navigate it professionally,” she said.
60 Minutes Australia had visited the set of The Deb at the time it was filming. An adaptation of an Australian stage play of the same name, Wilson’s directorial debut follows a city girl who moves to the outback and helps her cousin become a debutante.
After noting that everything seemed to be running smoothly, Wilson was asked “what went wrong” to which Wilson alleged that the day prior to their set visit, she and local producers were “locked in a room” and “forced to sign documents.”
Wilson alleges that the drama “stemmed from the U.K. producers on the film” and that she was “the target of incessant bullying and harassment” because she had spoken out about the “behavior” of the U.K. producers.
Last year, Wilson said that she had reported the producers when she “found out not minor things, big things” related to “inappropriate behavior towards the lead actress of the film,” Charlotte MacInnes, and theft of movie funds. Wilson posted a video to Instagram last summer accusing producers Amanda Ghost, Gregory Cameron and Vince Holden of embezzlement and sexual harassment.
