Rebel Wilson Defamation Trial Begins

The legal battle centers on Instagram posts by Wilson suggesting that MacInnes had been sexually harassed by one of the film's producers.

MacInnes's legal team has characterized these claims as 'malicious concoctions' used as leverage in a separate contract dispute.

Wilson has been branded a 'bully' in court, with the prosecution alleging she attempted to paint MacInnes as a money-grabbing opportunist.

The nine-day hearing is expected to feature testimony about a controversial incident involving a bath in Bondi during the film's production.
