Actor Rebel Wilson did not defame colleague in social media posts, Australian court finds

An Australian court ruled that actor Rebel Wilson did not defame her colleague Charlotte MacInnes through social media posts. The case involved claims that Wilson's posts, which referenced an incident where MacInnes and a producer swam together at Bondi Beach, were defamatory or breached confidentiality. Judge Elizabeth Raper concluded the posts were not defamatory and that MacInnes failed to show they caused serious reputational harm. Wilson, known for roles in 'Bridesmaids' and 'Pitch Perfect,' expressed relief after the ruling. MacInnes and her legal team did not comment publicly. This follows Wilson's past victory in a defamation case against a magazine publisher.
