Rebel Wilson Wins Defamation Case

Rebel Wilson stood up for herself against haters and won.

Rebel Wilson (known best for her roles in the Pitch Perfect movies) recently won a long and hard court battle with Bauer Media. The case came after there were articles written about Rebel Wilson, just before the release of Pitch Perfect 2.

Although the false articles inflicted substantial damage against Rebel, she didn’t back down. She knows who she is and she had to fight to prove it. She loves her young fans and wants to give everyone a role model who is admirable. The court ruled entirely in Rebel’s favor, and she was set to receive a significant sum of money from the media corporation. She has decided to use her win against haters to give back. She says that once she receives the money, she is going to donate all of it or charity or invest it in Australian film.

Today was the end of a long and hard court battle against Bauer Media who viciously tried to take me down with a series of false articles. When the jury delivered its verdict they answered every single question in my favor. I am eternally grateful to those ladies. Today Justice Dixon gave his considered full judgement. He accepted that Bauer Media subjected me to a sustained and malicious attack timed precisely to the launch of Pitch Perfect 2. It was hurtful and devastating that a corporation would do something like that, knowing that their paid anonymous source and stories were dodgy. The learned judge accepted without qualification that I had an extremely high reputation and that the damage inflicted on me was substantial. He said that the nature of this aggravated defamation and the unprecedented extent of its dissemination (meaning it caused a worldwide media firestorm) makes vindication of particular importance. It was important for me to set the record straight, especially because I have so many young fans. I also feel like it’s important to stand up to bullies. I have been awarded a record sum from Justice Dixon. I will be putting that money to good use by donating it to charity and investing in an Australian film ( but obviously can’t say exactly or do anything now as I won’t receive the money until everything is finalized). I thank Justice Dixon so much. And I’m looking forward to getting back to entertaining everyone!

Rebel serves as a great example of someone who will never let others tell you who you are. She stood up for herself, even if it meant a long, hard court process. In the end, her dedication ultimately paid off. Never let anyone bring you down, always stand up for yourself and stay true to who you are.
