Rebel Wilson has said she is facing multiple lawsuits and has publicly accused billionaire Len Blavatnik of backing legal action against her, escalating an ongoing dispute tied to her directorial debut.
In a series of posts on Instagram Stories, Wilson criticised Blavatnik, alleging he failed to intervene when she raised concerns about behaviour on the set of her film The Deb. She claimed she had travelled to New York to seek his support regarding individuals she says worked for him, including Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden.
The dispute stems from a defamation lawsuit filed by the producers after Wilson alleged that $900,000 had been embezzled from the film’s budget and that Ghost had s3xually harassed the film’s lead actress, Charlotte MacInnes. Sources close to Ghost have denied the allegations, while reports indicate MacInnes has publicly rejected claims of harassment. A judge has also reportedly dismissed several of Wilson’s counterclaims.
Wilson alleged that instead of assisting her, Blavatnik used his financial resources to support legal actions against her. She said he funded “four lawsuits across two continents against me,” although a source cited in reports claims the number of lawsuits is three.
Wilson also referenced Blavatnik’s name appearing in documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein, sharing an email that appeared to show Epstein asking an associate to contact Blavatnik about offering a job to a third party. There are no allegations that Blavatnik engaged in any wrongdoing related to the email.
Representatives for Blavatnik declined to comment on the claims. The legal dispute surrounding The Deb continues to intensify, with multiple cases unfolding across jurisdictions as both sides contest the allegations.
