Rebel Wilson is no stranger to speaking her mind. But her latest series of Instagram posts marks one of her most direct and detailed public statements to date.
The actress, writer, and director took to Instagram Stories to address ongoing disputes tied to The Deb, a project she describes as deeply personal — not just professionally, but creatively.
“Regarding the lawsuits and drama associated with my film THE DEB – my passion project, directing debut, a beautiful movie about a girl wanting to be pretty and realising she’s PRETTY STRONG in character – well there’s a lot to say!” she wrote.
From there, the tone shifts. What begins as a reflection on a project quickly expands into a broader account of conflict, pressure, and ongoing legal challenges.
Rebel explained that she had initially planned to wait before speaking publicly, but that recent developments changed that decision.
She described an “absolute bombardment” directed at her “via heavily paid crisis PR firms,” adding that the situation had reached a point where “it’s impossible to say nothing.”
Central to her claims is the assertion that the producers she has previously criticized — Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron, and Vince Holden — are financially backed by billionaire Sir Len Blavatnik.
Rebel alleges that The Deb and its associated producers are “funded by billionaire USSR born oligarch Sir Len Blavatnik,” and shared what she described as correspondence from her production company requesting intervention.
She also stated that she traveled to meet him directly.
“I sincerely thought he would do something about it,” she writes.
The situation, as described by Rebel, has escalated significantly. She notes that four lawsuits across two continents have been filed against her, all of which she claims are supported by his funding.
Her posts also reference Blavatnik’s alleged appearance in Epstein-related documents, accompanied by screenshots she shared as part of her statements.
The narrative then turns toward her The Deb co-star Charlotte MacInnes, who has filed a defamation lawsuit against her.
“On April 20th a trial will start in Australia where a young performer Charlotte MacInnes is suing me for defamation,” Rebel wrote.
She also commented on MacInnes’ public profile and recent opportunities, writing:
“To my knowledge MacInnes only has a few thousand fans so it is odd she’s the recipient of such a deal and lives a lux international lifestyle as seen on her social media.”
In her final posts, Rebel framed the situation as part of a larger pattern.
“Everyone who knows me, knows I’ a true Rebel. I say it how it is. There was dodgy behaviour on my movie set by UK producers and I reported it – I thought reporting it would lead to action and hopefully a better industry overall. I thought calling out the bad behaviour would make it stop.”
“Instead maybe I innocently hit the tip of an iceberg? Maybe there’s more to this behaviour that very powerful people want covered up – they seem VERY INVESTED in silencing me and covering this up.”
She concluded with a direct message:
“Sir Len Blavatnik, it’s never too late to do the right thing and take action against the people who behaved inappropriately- maybe stop funding them for a start? Maybe stop these ridiculous lawsuits and crisis PR attacks that is costing millions.”
“I’m not scared and I won’t be silenced.”
The posts arrive amid ongoing legal developments and recent reporting tied to the project, adding another layer to a situation that continues to unfold publicly.
