Rebel Wilson planned smear campaign against 'The Deb' producer? Lawsuit references links to Johnny Depp and Justin Baldoni cases Hollywood actress Rebel Wilson has faced renewed scrutiny after court documents revealed her public relations team allegedly discussed launching a smear campaign against Amanda Ghost, the producer of her film The Deb. The legal filings, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, detail conversations between Wilson’s crisis management team and digital strategist Jed Wallace, who reportedly outlined plans to create anonymous websites accusing Ghost of "sex trafficking" and "procuring young women for wealthy and powerful men." The audio clip, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, captures Wallace instructing entertainment publicist Melissa Nathan on how to frame the allegations, emphasizing that the campaign needed to focus on "heavy" and "connected to something that heavy," rather than superficial insults. Nathan’s firm, The Agency Group, is described as a top-tier PR agency with high-profile clients including Drake and Johnny Depp. The firm has also collaborated with attorney Bryan Freedman, who previously represented Wilson and is known for his involvement in the It Ends With Us legal dispute. In that case, actress Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Wallace, Nathan, and Freedman, alleging a coordinated smear campaign tied to the film’s production, which was directed by and starred Justin Baldoni. Wallace’s representatives responded to the latest allegations by stating that the audio file in the It Ends With Us case was sealed by the judge to prevent "out-of-context speculation" and denied any participation in a smear campaign against Lively or others.#melissa_nathan #jed_wallace #rebel_wilson #amanda_ghost #the_agency_group
