Lawyers for MacInnes have said she made no complaint to Wilson about the bath incident but that Wilson later used it as “leverage” in a dispute with producers about the film’s budget and contracts.<\/p>\n
On the first day of the case, the court saw a series of private texts between Wilson, the producer Amanda Ghost and MacInnes as well as detailed emails about the bath and alleged sexual harassment.<\/p>\n
The incident happened on 5 September 2023 when MacInnes and Ghost went for a late afternoon swim at Bondi Beach.<\/p>\n
Ghost had an allergic reaction to the water, known as cold urticaria, breaking out in red welts and shaking uncontrollably, the court heard.<\/p>\n
The pair went back to Ghost’s beachside apartment with MacInnes running a hot bath for Ghost, who had got into a shower to warm up.<\/p>\n
Both later got into the bath \u2013 described by MacInnes’ legal team as “oversized” \u2013 with both wearing their swimsuits.<\/p>\n
They “were not even touching at all”, Sue Chrysanthou SC told the court.<\/p>\n
Ghost’s assistant made hot drinks for the pair and sat with them in the bathroom for a short while.<\/p>\n
The next day, Wilson spoke to MacInnes who told her she felt uncomfortable about the bath incident, according to Wilson, who then raised it with Ghost. <\/p>\n
But when Wilson discussed it with MacInnes again a couple of days later, the young actress said this was not what she had said, Chrysanthou said. <\/p>\n
A text message sent by Wilson to the producer Ghost and shown to the court read: “Charlotte says all good. She just meant ‘it was a bizarre situation’ not that she personally felt uncomfortable.”<\/p>\n
That night, they all went to a Boy George concert, the court heard.<\/p>\n
The allegations that she was sexually harassed by Ghost but then retracted her complaint to further her career were “completely false, fantasy, malicious concoctions”, Chrysanthou said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lawyers for MacInnes have said she made no complaint to Wilson about the bath incident but that Wilson…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":540974,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-540973","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-gb","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=540973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/540974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=540973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=540973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=540973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
