This is a typical scene at the Cannes Film Festival. On May 16, about 50 people gathered on the luxury liner of billionaire Len Blavatnik, known as "Odessa II" to celebrate his premiere at the festival, including the provocative Joaquin Phoenix TV series Eddington. The guest list includes industry heavy hitters such as "Pule Novel" producer Lawrence Bender and entertainment president Danny Cohen. When the revelers drank rosé and tasted the buffet, singer and actress Charlotte Macinnes played the cover of Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club."

Within a few hours, Rebel Wilson began posting from the official Instagram account of the upcoming movie Deb. Wilson wrote: "Charlotte MacInnes wore an Indian outfit with culturally inappropriate Indian outfit on Len Blavatnik's luxury yacht at the Cannes Film Festival - ironically, an song in the song was sung from the film, which would never be released because of her lies and support for the people who blocked the release of the film." She added in a follow-up measure: "I'm glad you got Charlotte for the record deal, and sacrificed 300 people who worked in the 'deb' and really wanted to see it release." Macinnes is the star of the musical "The Deb", the debut of director Wilson, and Blavatnik funded the film, which made the post even more strange.

Again, Wilson has been in a nearly year-long legal battle with "Deb" producer Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and executive producer Vince Holden. Meanwhile, the fate of this good movie revolves around two girls in an Australian town who are preparing for their debut at the dance party, still in the lim dance after their debut at the Toronto Film Festival in September. (Source on the ground in Cannes said the film had a strong interest in publishers, and a deal seemed to be coming until Wilson began to release.

A representative for Wilson said: "The entire 'deb' crew is looking forward to finally presenting the film to the world. The Rebels are proud of the film and are in awe of the hard work that everyone involved has put into creating her directorial debut."

Some of the Yacht Party attendees are confused by the fact that Wilson, who is not at the Cannes Film Festival, gets videos from a private party hosted by Blavatnik, who has supported the recent films Seat and Area of ​​Interest. It seems to be the star of the "pitch perfect" pulling out from an Instagram post by Bender, who blames Wilson for sprinkling what he calls "charming" performances with Macinnes.

"My only intention is to celebrate the incredible talent of this young man. The last thing I expect is to get someone to get it negative," Binder told. type. “It’s really disappointing.”

In the days that followed, Wilson continued to post information about McGinnis, insisting that the 25-year-old actress got a lot of time in the studio with Ghost, a luxury other actors don't have. She also suggests that the relationship between the ghost who married Cameron and McGinnis' evil is evil. (Wilson previously accused Ghost of sexually harassing MacInnes, a claim flatly denied by all parties including the alleged victim.) “After this session Ghost took MacInnes back to the Bondi Beach Penthouse apartment that they were 'sharing' after Ghost insisted MacInnes live with her despite the film housing all interstate cast members in hotels which is professional standard,” Wilson wrote in a following-up post from the @thedebfilm handle.

Sources close to McInnis say Wilson's post is a manipulation distortion of the truth.

"Charlotte didn't have more time in the studio than any other actress," the source said, adding that it was McInnis's agent who coordinated the use of the ghost in the apartment and her team's spare room in the week, while the actress stayed for hours but did not follow the production schedule and did not provide accommodation.

At the center of the propaganda battle is the controversy about writing and musical honors. Wilson wanted credit for a full-scale script, but was only awarded "extra writing" by the Australian Writers Association. Instead, Hannah Reilly received the only script credit. Ghost, Cameron and Holden said in their initial complaint that Wilson was not satisfied with the Guild’s decision, which was made in early 2024 in the film’s post-production.

"Since the beginning, this dispute has been about one thing, only one thing: Rebel Wilson's obsession with praise, at nothing deserved, at the expense of young, talented women, she kept crying, disguising as their champion." "It started with the rebels demanding the writing honors of writing for the film Hannah Reilly and turned into a smearing movement. Rebel Wilson is talking about herself - her latest outbreak of jealousy is her confession."

However, sources close to Wilson insist that the bad blood stems from a personality conflict between the “bridesmaids” stars and ghosts.

So far, Reilly has remained silent about the matter. But after Wilson's latest Salvo, she decided to speak out.

"It should have been a joyful experience - a dream come true - is now covered up by unnecessary drama. It's a heartbreaking and confusing event," Riley told Reilly. type.

Reilly wrote the hit stage musical The Deb, which was then adapted to screen through Wilson’s guidance initiative, a program created to support young women in the industry.

"The subsequent (the guild ruling of Australian writers) was a series of personal assaults and false allegations, most recently against Charlotte, who I served as Charlotte in the original stage production," Riley said. "She is an amazing talent and the most complete professional who deserves to be celebrated, not to be stuck in chaos. I have always been reluctant to speak publicly, but I just want the hostility to stop so that we can all move forward."

Last year, Wilson filed an anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss the producer’s lawsuit against her. But she lost the bid in November, a judge described the matter as a "private business dispute" and noted that Wilson never reported the charges to authorities.

"These statements were not made in the context of ongoing disputes, disputes or discussions of 'misconduct (including sexual harassment) on the film suit, ''embourage in the film budget'' and 'tax fraud'," the judge wrote. "Instead, they were conducted in a private business dispute between Wilson and the plaintiff."

Wilson's original demand letter was ahead of last summer's Coking Earth post and subsequent defamation lawsuits by the producers of "DEB", which suggests that she would leave the matter if the conditions were met.

"Wilson was assured that (1) share writing credits and (2) record company deals under Warner Music," the June 2024 letter said. (Blavatnik owns Warner Music.) "We are willing to explore the possibility of solving this problem through informal and friendly means before filing expensive and time-consuming lawsuits."

Meanwhile, even Macinnes' shop where she bought the dress she wore on the yacht joined the competition. In an Instagram post, a retro design wrote: "Dear @rebelwilson, take a moment to educate about fashion history. @Charlotte_ Macinnes wore a 1970s handmade American ensemble from us in a wine that originated from us. The work you try to discredit and mislabel in real craftsmanship can reveal more than this than this can reveal, but rather reveal your intentions."

With the yacht legend’s anger, Wilson’s efforts outside of “DEB” seem to explode. Her "Juliet & Romeo" opposite "White Lotus" star Jason Isaacs on May 9 and landed in the theater on May 9. To date, the film has made only $422,126 worldwide. In March, Wilson quietly transformed his agency from WME to UTA. (Macinnes is represented by WME and signed to Atlantic Records, part of Warner Music Group.

McInnis wasn't the first person Wilson brought to the mat. The actress is known for her comedy work like the movie Bridesmaids, after accusing Sacha Baron Cohen of sexual harassment in her performance in the 2016 R-rated comedy The Brothers Grimsby. In the revised complaint, the producer of "deb" pointed out that Wilson's claim to Baron Cohen was removed from certain territories of her autobiography.

"As a result of these false allegations, part of the autobiography (Wilson) was removed when published in the UK and Australia. Nevertheless, the Rebels successfully used the craze of such allegations to promote the sale of her book," the complaint said. "As in this case, the Rebels hypocritically played the victim to arouse public sympathy in the hope that it would improve her professional self-interest."

As played by the legal case, Wilson's recent post has become a speech from producers and film funders. A financier who did not involve "deb" said, "It's hard to open the movie without the whole irrelevant drama spinning around it."
