Australian actress Charlotte MacInnes is ready to share her experience working with Rebel Wilson on The Deb.

In new court documents obtained by The Guardian on Monday, November 11, MacInnes, 25, alleged that Wilson, 44, repeated claims that one of the film’s producers Sєxually harᴀssed MacInnes — even after she told Wilson no such behavior had occurred.

“I was deeply disturbed by this behavior, and felt very bullied and harᴀssed by Wilson, who was the director of the film and in a position of authority over me,” MacInnes said in court documents. “Nothing that I told Wilson could reasonably have conveyed that I was reporting any misconduct, because there was no misconduct.”

Wilson is currently involved in a legal battle with The Deb producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden. In her court documents, MacInnes spoke out against some allegations Wilson has made.

Lights, camera, action! From Denzel Washington to Ben Affleck, many actors seamlessly made the switch from being in front of the camera to behind it — but it wasn’t always as easy as it looked. While making her 2019 directorial debut, Booksmart, Olivia Wilde remembered getting really “terrible advice” from a fellow actor turned director […]

“I also understand [there were] claims that I was subjected to ‘depraved Sєxual demands’ and that ‘MacInnes remains captive by Ghost and Cameron as she is shuttled from city to city with them including Boston, New York and London,’” MacInnes continued. “These statements are completely false and absurd. I have no idea what could cause Wilson and her attorney to make up such lies about me.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Wilson and MacInnes’ attorneys for comment.

Back in July, Wilson shared her experience working on The Deb. In an Instagram video, the actress alleged that she reported the film’s producers’ “bad behavior,” which allegedly included “inappropriate behavior towards the lead actress of the film.”

“Since I reported that behavior, I have been met with absolute viciousness and retaliatory behavior,” Wilson alleged.

In July, Ghost, Cameron and Holden filed a lawsuit accusing Wilson of defamation. They also said there was “absolutely no basis in reality” to claims a producer harᴀssed a lead actor.

Nearly three months later, Wilson filed a countersuit against The Deb producers alleging they had a pattern of intimidation and threats directed toward the Pitch Perfect star.
