Actor-filmmaker Rebel Wilson has secured a second consecutive legal victory, with the Supreme Court of New South Wales ruling in her favour in proceedings brought against her by A.I Film — a company whose CEO is Amanda Ghost and which is wholly owned and financed by billionaire Len Blavatnik's Access Industries. The ruling follows an earlier win in the Federal Court against Charlotte MacInnes, cementing what Wilson has called a 'David and Goliath' fight against opponents with vastly superior resources.

Wilson Speaks Out on the Verdict

Wilson announced the outcome in a detailed post on Instagram, describing the win as the culmination of an ordeal that had exacted an enormous personal, emotional and financial toll. 'Two lawsuits. Two wins. Today, the Supreme Court of New South Wales ruled in my favor in the proceedings brought against me by A.I Film,' she wrote, adding that she thanked Justice Peden for her 'careful consideration' of the case.

Wilson also acknowledged her legal team — Dauid Sibtain SC, Tim Senior, Conor O'Beirne, Sylvia Alcarraz, and the wider team at Dentons — for their dedication throughout the proceedings.

The Background: Concerns Over 'The Deb'

At the heart of the dispute, according to Wilson, were serious concerns she said she felt compelled to raise about her film 'The Deb'. 'I spoke up because I believed there were serious concerns that needed to be raised on my film The Deb,' she said. The nature of those concerns has not been detailed publicly, but Wilson has consistently maintained that she acted to protect both herself and others.

The case pitted Wilson against A.I Film, backed by Blavatnik's Access Industries — an arrangement Wilson characterised as a significant imbalance of resources between the parties.

Alleged PR Campaign to Damage Her Reputation

Wilson revealed that discovery proceedings in the United States had, she said, uncovered evidence that those suing her had been paying two crisis PR firms — Hiltzik Strategies and Hawthorne Advisors — to place negative stories about her in the media, allegedly from as far back as July 2024. 'There has been a huge imbalance of resources between the parties,' she wrote, framing the litigation as a sustained campaign to 'ruin my reputation and intentionally cause me harm.'

Wilson noted that despite the pressure, she chose to 'stay the course and stay positive,' and urged others in similar situations not to be deterred. 'I want anyone who is frightened of speaking up to know that I understand how hard it can be, especially when the people you are challenging have far greater resources,' she said.

Personal Toll and What Comes Next

Wilson acknowledged the sustained personal strain of the litigation, saying there were 'times when I've wondered how much more I could take,' before adding that she remained proud of persevering. She expressed gratitude to supporters and referenced her 'two beautiful daughters' as a source of strength during what she described as 'rough times.'

With both lawsuits now resolved in her favour, attention will turn to whether any further legal proceedings arise from the US discovery material Wilson referenced, and whether A.I Film or Access Industries respond publicly to the ruling.
