IMDb, the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content.

Latest reported status (Los Angeles case)
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled that Rebel Wilson’s bid to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by three producers behind her directorial debut The Deb will not succeed, meaning the case is set to move forward. The judge said the challenged statements weren’t protected in the way Wilson argued and were made in connection with a private business dispute.[1]
Earlier background (different defamation case)
Separately, Wilson previously won a defamation case in Australia against Bauer Media over magazine articles that she said harmed her career, with reporting in 2017 describing a large damages award.[2]
If you tell me which “Rebel Wilson defamation lawsuit”
There are at least two major threads people mean. If you share whether you mean The Deb producers or the Bauer Media/Australia matter (or link an article/headline), I can summarize that specific case and what the latest reporting says about its timeline.
