Rebel awarded $359k in legal win over film's producers

Key points

• Actor Rebel Wilson has won a legal dispute with the co-producers of her film The Deb. Justice Elisabeth Peden ordered the producers to pay $10 in damages and dismissed their summons in the NSW Supreme Court.
• The judge also awarded Wilson $359,000 plus interest, with a written judgement to follow. The producers alleged that Wilson made false and derogatory online statements that hurt the film's box office.
• Wilson denied the claims and countersued, alleging theft, bullying and sexual misconduct by the producers. It is her second court win this year, after she was cleared of defaming co-star Charlotte MacInnes.
