Rebel Wilson defamation trial hears rising actor felt mocked by Instagram post mid-testimony

Friday, 24 April 2026, 06:41 · 1 min read

A defamation trial in Australia's Federal Court took a tense turn on Friday when Charlotte MacInnes, a young actor suing Hollywood star Rebel Wilson, testified that she felt ridiculed by a social media post published while she was still giving evidence. MacInnes alleges that Wilson — best known for the Pitch Perfect film series — damaged her reputation by claiming on social media that she had made a sexual harassment complaint against a film co-producer and then withdrawn it to secure a lead role and record deal, a claim MacInnes denies. Compounding the distress, Wilson's wife Ramona Agruma-Wilson posted an Instagram story featuring a Finding Nemo character with the caption "I suffer from short term memory loss … or do I?", which MacInnes's legal team argued was a direct mockery of her court testimony and is now cited as grounds for aggravated damages; both Wilson and her wife are expected to take the stand in the second week of proceedings.
