On July 22, 2026, the Federal Court of Australia dismissed Charlotte MacInnes' defamation and breach-of-confidence claims against Rebel Wilson over Instagram posts tied to The Deb.
Justice Elizabeth Raper found only one pleaded imputation was made out, that it was not defamatory, and that MacInnes had not established serious reputational harm. The ruling also ordered MacInnes to pay Wilson's costs.
