Rebel Wilson enlists Hollywood lawyer Bryan Freedman in defamation battle against The Deb producers

Rebel Wilson has tapped renowned Hollywood lawyer Bryan Freedman to represent her in an ongoing legal dispute with the producers of her directorial debut, "The Deb" as per report by Deadline.

Freedman, known for his aggressive legal tactics and high-profile clients, is expected to file a response to the defamation suit brought against Wilson by producers Amanda Ghost and Gregory Cameron, along with executive producer Vince Holden.

The lawsuit stems from Wilson's public accusations of "bad behavior," embezzlement, and retaliation against the producers, which she claims prevented the film from premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The producers have denied these allegations and countersued Wilson for defamation.

With Freedman now on board, the legal battle is expected to intensify. Known for his relentless approach, Freedman has a track record of representing clients in high-stakes cases against major media companies. While no official response has been filed yet, the case is already set for a management hearing in November, where Freedman will face off against the producers' attorney, Camille Vasquez, who gained fame for her role in Johnny Depp's defamation trial against Amber Heard.

The upcoming legal showdown is sure to be a closely watched affair, with high stakes for both Wilson and the producers. The outcome could significantly impact the future of "The Deb" and the reputations of those involved.
