Rebel Wilson Suffers Blow In Legal Fight With ‘The Deb’ Producers As Judge Guts Star’s Lawsuit · deadline.com

Rebel Wilson, the actress from Pitch Perfect, had a legal fight with the producers of her movie The Deb.

A judge decided that most of her claims against the producers, like sexual harassment and stealing money, were not strong enough.

Now, she can only argue about fair dealing and emotional distress.
