Actress Rebel Wilson Wins Defamation Lawsuit Against Australia's Bauer Media Group
On courthouse steps, Wilson decries "series of grubby and completely false articles"
At issue were eight articles in all, published during 2015 by Australian outlets Woman’s Day, Women’s Weekly, OK magazine and New Weekly. The pieces accused actress Rebel Wilson of lying about her real name, age, background and professional life story.
From a report by the Australian Broadcasting Network:
Wilson returned to Melbourne from Los Angeles to give evidence at the three-week trial in which she made jokes, rapped an Academy Award acceptance speech she claims to have hallucinated years earlier and broke down in tears several times.
