Rebel Wilson embroiled in lawsuit over script rights and accusations

Rebel Wilson accuses and publicly calls out her former coworkers. In response, she has been sued for intimidation, bullying, and attempting to take over the rights to a script. According to the Daily Mail, filmmakers also claim that Wilson lied, accusing and ruining Sacha Baron Cohen's career to boost the sales of her book.

Australian actress Rebel Wilson claims that the producers of her directorial debut, "The Deb," embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from the film's budget. Amanda Ghost, who worked on the film, allegedly harassed one of the actresses, and the other producers wanted to block the premiere in Toronto out of sheer malice.

- I will not be bullied or silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers. The ‘a*****e’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen - Rebel Wilson wrote on Instagram.

It turns out that using such vulgar language on social media is just one of the many documented abuses by Wilson against her former coworkers. The rest is included in the lawsuit that former coworkers of the actress filed in court.

One of the producers Wilson accused is Amanda Ghost. The 50-year-old is a writer and screenwriter, co-author of James Blunt's hit "You're Beautiful" and several songs by Beyoncé and Shakira. In response to the accusations and vulgarities on Instagram, she accused Rebel Wilson of exceptionally perfidious behavior and being a "malicious tyrant" on the set of their joint film "The Deb."

Among the charges are intimidation, spreading rumors, and accusations about sexual crimes. Also, there was an attempt at bullying and taking over the rights to "The Deb" script from the young screenwriter who wrote it.

Ghost has brought out the heavy artillery against Wilson. She filed a lawsuit in court and hired lawyer Camille Vasquez from Brown, who defended Johnny Depp in the case against Amber Heard.

The 50-year-old also claims that Wilson fabricated the allegations regarding Sacha Baron Cohen's alleged misconduct on the set of another film. The allegations cost the actor his marriage to Isla Fisher and were meant to promote her book sales.

- Rebel hypocritically played the victim in order to elicit public sympathy in the hope that it would advance her professional self-interest - Amanda Ghost said, quoted by the "Daily Mail" about Wilson and her accusations against the Borat actor.

In contrast, Rebel Wilson hired one of the best attorneys in Hollywood, entertainment law specialist Bryan Freedman. The first court hearings in Los Angeles are scheduled for November 26.
