"In July 2024, Rebel Wilson posted a video accusing the film's producers, including Amanda Ghost, Gregory Cameron, and Vince Holden, of blocking The Deb from premiering at TIFF. Wilson alleged 'bad behavior by these business partners ... inappropriate behavior toward the lead actress of the film; embezzling funds from the film's budget, which we really needed because we're a small movie.'"
"The same team behind Justin Baldoni's alleged smear campaign against Blake Lively is now being accused of using similar tactics against producer Amanda Ghost on behalf of their client Rebel Wilson. In new leaked audio, Wilson's team, including digital fixer Jed Wallace, entertainment publicist Melissa Nathan, and her then-lawyer Bryan Freedman, can be heard developing ways to ruin Ghost's credibility."
The Deb, a musical film directed by Rebel Wilson set for April 2026 release in Australia, has been engulfed in legal controversy for two years. In July 2024, Wilson publicly accused producers including Amanda Ghost of blocking the film's Toronto International Film Festival premiere and alleged inappropriate behavior toward the lead actress and embezzlement. The producers denied these allegations as false and defamatory, subsequently suing Wilson. Leaked audio now reveals Wilson's team, including digital fixer Jed Wallace, publicist Melissa Nathan, and lawyer Bryan Freedman, strategizing ways to undermine Ghost's credibility, mirroring tactics used against Blake Lively.
