tried to get their suit thrown out<\/a> earlier this year, but a court sided with Ghost, Cameron and Holden and let it stand. Wilson appealed that decision, but the appeals court once again sided with her adversaries.<\/p>\nRebel Wilson lost her bid to get defamation case against her thrown out.

Wilson will now have to prove that her allegations against the trio weren\u2019t malicious lies, we\u2019re told.<\/p>\n
The ruling is significant because \u201cthis was supposed to be Rebel\u2019s big bet\u201d for getting out of the suit, a source familiar with the case told Page Six. <\/p>\n
Johnny Depp\u2019s legal eagle, Camille Vasquez, is repping the group and she told page Six, \u201c[Wilson] has had ample time and countless opportunities to retract her appalling allegations and issue an apology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vasquez added, \u201cInstead, she hoped California\u2019s free-speech protections would shield her from accountability. That cynical legal gamble has spectacularly backfired, as the Court of Appeal concluded that the producers have a \u2018probability of prevailing\u2019 on their defamation claim against Wilson. This case is now heading to trial, and we look forward to seeing her in court.\u201d<\/p>\n
