In Sydney, Charlotte MacInnes's lawyer told the court on Friday Wilson's account of a 2023 Bondi Beach bath incident was illogical and defamatory Instagram posts in 2024 and 2025 harmed her reputation.
Wilson says MacInnes suggested producer Amanda Ghost made her uncomfortable, then later retracted that in exchange for career benefits; MacInnes denies making any sexual-harassment complaint.
Wilson's lawyer said MacInnes's career had flourished, while MacInnes seeks aggravated damages. Justice Elizabeth Raper reserved judgment, and Wilson also faces separate Australia and US cases from The Deb producers.

Did the actress land a huge record deal or lose all work after the accusations?
Was a shared bath a medical emergency or the start of a Hollywood feud?
