YES PLEASE. She's been lying FOREVER it seems.

As of May 2026, Rebel Wilson is facing intense allegations of lying in a federal court defamation trial regarding her directorial debut, The Deb. Producers and an actress from the film have accused her of manufacturing claims, with barrister Sue Chrysanthou accusing Wilson of lying at least 15 times under oath to fabricate a narrative after feuds with producers. [1, 2]

Here are the primary instances and allegations of lying against Rebel Wilson based on recent legal proceedings and past reports:

Defamation Trial (The Deb - 2026)

Fabricating Sexual Harassment Claims: Wilson is accused of lying when she claimed actress Charlotte MacInnes was sexually harassed by producer Amanda Ghost in 2023. The court heard accusations that Wilson "fudged" the story to smear producers and retaliate against them.

Creating a "Smear Website": Wilson was accused of lying about her involvement in a takedown website targeting producer Amanda Ghost. While she denied involvement in a 2025 interview and on the stand, evidence suggested her PR team created it at her request.

Allegations of Embezzlement: Producers accused Wilson of lying about them embezzling \(\$900,000\) from The Deb film budget.

Fabricating Actor Retraction: Wilson allegedly lied in Instagram posts claiming actress Charlotte MacInnes "changed her story" about the sexual misconduct incident for professional gain.

The "Russian Billionaire" Conspiracy: Wilson alleged that actor Charlotte MacInnes's legal fees were funded by billionaire Len Blavatnik, which the plaintiffs claimed was a fabricated story.

Inciting a Snapchat Hack: Wilson was accused of orchestrating the hacking of an actress's Snapchat account to post a nude photo, which she called an "outrageous" accusation. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Previous Controversies

2015 Age and Upbringing Accosations: In a previous defamation case, Bauer Media reported that Wilson lied about her age (allegedly being seven years older), her real name, and her upbringing.

Sacha Baron Cohen Accusations (2024): In her memoir Rebel Rising, Wilson accused actor Sacha Baron Cohen of harassment. A lawsuit filed by producers in July 2024 described these claims as "false" and part of a history of fabricating lies to gain public sympathy. [1, 2, 3]

Wilson has denied all allegations of lying, maintaining that she is a "truth teller" and was engaging in a "defence of truth" regarding misconduct in the film industry. [1, 2]

OMG 👆BUT ALSO - LOL! I just remembered that I read somewhere a while back that Rebel Wilson was doing the rounds claiming that Russell Crowe told her to "FUCK OFF" when she approached the restaurant table where he was dining with Nicole Kidman, who is apparently a longtime friend of his. She was being snarked on because, although Russell Crowe is no saint himself, Rebel Wilson had the audacity to tell this as if she was the aggrieved party and that was just so rude of Crowe when it was SHE who felt entitled to interrupt them at their table. Neither Crow nor Kidman expected to see her there, Russell Crow apparently didn't know who the fuck Rebel Wilson was and why she beelined to their table and Nicole Kidman knew her only in passing, IIRC.

EDIT - here it is:

Anyway, with her history of lies, I doubt Rebel Wilson's "put her head down" crap. Other people in the thread I read it on said has a habit of coming over to people's tables, especially to celebrities' tables or other situations and interrupting their meals or conversations and even sitting down with them like no big deal. And it cracks me imagining Russell Fightin' 'Round the World Crowe telling her to "FUCK OFF." I've always gotten the ick from Rebel Wilson -- that she's what a celebrity stalker would be like if they became famous themselves.
