Variety<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\nThe suit is alleging Rebel<\/strong> of unprofessional conduct, \u201cincluding claims she disappeared from set for extended periods of time and threatened financiers with \u2018exposing\u2019 them to her roughly 11 million Instagram followers.\u201d<\/p>\nOne of the big things in the lawsuit is over credits, after Rebel<\/strong> sought co-writing the screenplay and rights to the movie\u2019s original music.<\/p>\nThe Australian Writers Guild awarded Hannah Riley<\/strong>, the original screenwriter, a full credit after an appeal, and granted Rebel <\/strong>with an \u201cadditional writing by\u201d credit, but she was reportedly not happy with just that.<\/p>\n\u201cRebel<\/strong> is a bully who will disregard the interests of others to promote her own,\u201d a lawyer for the producers shared in the filing. <\/p>\nRebel<\/strong> claims she has proof of the producers\u2019 financial misconduct, and they are responding, saying she \u201chas run this playbook one time too many,\u201d and had \u201cjeopardized the success of the film, as Rebel<\/strong>\u2019s statements carry the clear and unmistakable defamatory meaning: that [the producers] criminally embezzled funds from the film.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201c[Wilson<\/strong>] revived a fictitious story about Ms. Ghost<\/strong> sexually harassing a lead actor in The Deb<\/em> that has absolutely no basis in reality, as the actor that is the subject of this defamatory tale has repeatedly confirmed,\u201d the producers said in the defamation suit filing.<\/p>\nIt also states that producers Amanda Ghost<\/strong>, Gregor Cameron<\/strong> and executive producer Vince Holden<\/strong> had to \u201cconsider carefully whether to proceed with marketing the film while it was embroiled in numerous credit and licensing disputes instigated by Rebel. Plaintiffs continuously attempted to resolve the disputes in good faith, but Rebel had other ideas. Even though the plan was always to show the film at TIFF, Rebel attempted to force the issue and bully them into capitulating to her other unreasonable demands by leveraging her popularity on social media to spread these malicious and baseless lies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
