Rebel Wilson defamation trial begins

MacInnes's legal team has characterized Wilson as a 'bully' who fabricated claims to paint the young actress as a money-grabbing opportunist.

Wilson denies the allegations, maintaining that her posts were based on an uncomfortable situation involving a producer.

The nine-day hearing is expected to delve into private communications and the power dynamics on the film's set.

This high-profile trial follows Wilson's previous successful legal battles with Australian media outlets.
