Rebel Wilson Slammed In New Legal Filing Over Alleged $110K Smear Sites Targeting Producer Amanda Ghost

Rebel Wilson Faces Fresh Accusations in Smear Campaign Battle

Rebel Wilson is now being accused of pouring cash into shady online attacks on film producer Amanda Ghost. The latest filing in their defamation lawsuit dropped some alleged texts that seem to link the Pitch Perfect star to anonymous sites built to trash Ghost's rep.

The documents, filed August 25 in Los Angeles Superior Court, include messages between Wilson and publicist Melissa Nathan. Ghost says these texts show them plotting the creation of ghost sites packed with wild accusations.

Inside the Alleged Plot and Text Trail

One key text from Nathan to Wilson on August 5, 2024, laid out the price tag: $110,000 for an "untraceable site" complete with satellite setup, ghost hosting, full build, maintenance and algorithmic push. Wilson reportedly followed up asking if the site text had been received, and Nathan confirmed the business manager had sorted it with attorney Bryan Freedman's office.

Ghost's motion points out that Wilson later used these very sites in her own legal defense, claiming they proved Ghost had a history of bad press. No proof of actual payment has surfaced yet, so the producer is now demanding financial records from Nathan's firm.

The Roots of the Feud Over The Deb

This legal mess traces back to their work on the 2024 musical The Deb, which was Wilson's directorial debut. After a falling out, Ghost and other producers sued Wilson in July 2024 for an Instagram post accusing them of embezzlement and trying to block the film's Toronto premiere.

Wilson fired back with her own countersuit alleging embezzlement, breach of contract and sexual misconduct. Then in August 2024, sites popped up labeling Ghost "the Indian Ghislaine Maxwell" and worse.

Key Deposition Moments and Celebrity Connections

In a recent deposition included in the filing, Wilson said she was unsure what "untraceable site" even meant and added, "I don’t recall sending or receiving these texts. I may have."

The same team - Nathan, Freedman and strategist Jed Wallace - has been accused by Blake Lively of running a similar smear effort against Justin Baldoni, though that case settled in May. Wilson's attorney Allyson Thompson called Ghost's motion one-sided and promised two sides to every story will come out at trial.

"Ms. Wilson looks forward to telling her side at the trial in this disputed matter."

The case is scheduled to kick off in January 2027, and neither Freedman nor Nathan's firm offered comment when reached.
