Legal documents filed in the Superior Court of the State of California regarding Rebel Wilson‘s legal battle has have been unveiled, and you may not realize there’s a connection to Blake Lively‘s legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
Back in summer 2024, Rebel first called out The Deb producers for inappropriate behavior and embezzlement, and said they were burying the movie and holding it from being released. The producers then filed a defamation lawsuit, as did the star of the movie, Charlotte MacInnes, who was reportedly at the center of the inappropriate behavior. Rebel spoke out publicly in November 2025 about all of the allegations involved in the lawsuits.
Now, lawyers for a producer on the movie, Amanda Ghost, have filed some legal documents.
Amanda submitted alleged text message correspondence, which she claims to be between Rebel and crisis PR expert Melissa Nathan. Melissa Nathan is a name that has come up time and time again in the Blake Lively trial, and she alleges her company helped run a smear campaign against her during the It Ends with Us drama.
We have included the new alleged text messages filed this week here.
In one text, Melissa Nathan allegedly asked Rebel Wilson: “Are you on Signal?”
Rebel Wilson allegedly responded: “No.”
Melissa Nathan allegedly laid out the purchase of an “untraceable site,” including a “satellite, ghost server, ghost hosting, full build, maintaining, and full algorithmic push across all platforms… for 3 months.” It was said to have cost $110,000.
Another message has Rebel allegedly reaching back out and writing, “Question – did you receive my text for the website?” I never received an invoice.”
Melissa Nathan allegedly responded, “Morning, so sorry I was asleep. We have full text for the website we hadn’t heard from you – I know that it was a tough few days your end so I didn’t want to keep bugging. Your business manager has already sorted this with Bryan’s office. It will be up shortly once this is done.”
Rebel‘s lawyer Allyson Thompson released the following statement to People: “Today’s motion filed by Amanda Ghost is, by its very nature, one-sided and thus incomplete. This case is in active litigation and involves thousands of documents and a large number of witnesses. Although we would love to comment in substance to the allegations, California ethical rules limit this.”
Earlier this year, leaked audio seemed to show that Rebel‘s PR team was planning an alleged smear campaign against Amanda Ghost, who is the producer of the movie.
Rebel also apparently worked with digital fixer Jed Wallace, who was also part of Justin Baldoni‘s crisis PR team during the It Ends With Us scandal.
