But I\u2019m proud I stood my ground \u2013 for myself and for others I was trying to protect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Wilson said she struggled to remain positive throughout the proceedings and thanked her family and followers for their support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">It\u2019s the second victory for Wilson after she was cleared of defaming MacInnes earlier this year following a fiery federal court hearing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">MacInnes claimed Wilson defamed her in four social media posts that implied she was a liar and a sellout who walked back a sexual harassment complaint to further her career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The posts alleged the young actor confided in Wilson \u2013 and later recanted \u2013 that she felt uncomfortable when the film\u2019s co-producer Ghost asked to have a shower and a bath together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">MacInnes denied making or retracting a complaint, saying she had not been uncomfortable when the pair shared a bath in their swimwear after Ghost suffered a medical episode in September 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">That decision is under appeal.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rebel Wilson has been ordered to pay A$10 (US$7, \u00a35) in damages after emerging victorious from a bitter&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":811047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-811046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811046","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=811046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/811047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=811046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=811046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=811046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
