She became a client of the crisis management team in July 2024, months after MacInnes allegedly made the complaint, according to evidence given by former The Agency Group employee Katie Case.<\/p>\n
Texts between the agency\u2019s staff referred to Wilson as \u201cfucking nuts\u201d, the federal court was told on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Case was told by her boss Melissa Nathan in August that Wilson wanted one of \u201cthose sites\u201d created.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt can be really really harsh \u2026 making her a madam basically lol,\u201d Nathan instructed, according to court documents.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my god lol ok this one will be fun,\u201d Case replied.<\/p>\n
She understood she was being asked to draft copy that could be used to create a take-down website that could be \u201cused as a tool to aid attorneys in ongoing litigation\u201d, the ex-PR employee told the court.<\/p>\n
Case was provided a \u201cfully drafted\u201d word document of what was wanted for the website, which she edited and supplemented with content suggested by her colleagues.<\/p>\n
She had no idea who authored the document, but metadata later revealed it had been created under the name of Wilson\u2019s company, she told the court. But Case accepted anyone could have written in or edited the document before it was sent to her.<\/p>\n
The PR agent had never met or spoken to Wilson, she told the court.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe websites are a distraction,\u201d her barrister Dauid Sibtain SC told the court on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are not really about the critical issue in this case \u2026 [which] is that Ms MacInnes did in fact make a complaint to Ms Wilson.\u201d<\/p>\n
More details about the aftermath of the alleged complaint were revealed by Ghost\u2019s friend, theatrical producer Carmen Pavlovic. She recounted how Ghost had had a medical episode at Bondi beach in September 2023 and was assisted by MacInnes before they shared a bath wearing their swimmers.<\/p>\n
Ghost seemed angry and very upset with MacInnes after Wilson claimed the young actor had complained about feeling uncomfortable, Pavlovic told the court.<\/p>\n
The producer and Wilson suggested MacInnes might be \u201ctroublemaking\u201d but Pavlovic encouraged them to follow proper processes to ensure the young actor felt heard.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was concerned things could blow up if they weren\u2019t properly clarified,\u201d she told the court.<\/p>\n
Ghost\u2019s husband and co-producer on The Deb, Gregor Cameron, is set to testify on Tuesday afternoon. Both producers are embroiled in a separate lawsuit against Wilson in the NSW supreme court.<\/p>\n
The Deb was released earlier in April in Australia after legal issues prevented its widespread release following its 2024 film festival premiere.<\/p>\n
