Judge Dismisses Most of Rebel Wilson's Claims
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.
The producers, led by Amanda Ghost, also accused Wilson of being involved in websites that spread false and racist things about Ghost.
The judge allowed some investigation into this.
Wilson says she had nothing to do with those websites.
The case is now more about Wilson's actions and the websites.
Judge Thomas Long dismissed most of Rebel Wilson's claims against The Deb producers.
Wilson's allegations of sexual harassment, intimidation, and embezzlement were deemed immaterial.
Wilson can still pursue fair-dealing claims against AI Film and emotional distress allegations.
Amanda Ghost was granted limited discovery in her defamation lawsuit against Wilson.
Ghost accuses Wilson of involvement in smear websites with racist and false content.
