Rebel Wilson’s Legal War Gets Dragged Into Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni PR Drama

The drama surrounding Rebel Wilson’s directorial debut has taken an unexpected Hollywood crossover twist. Newly surfaced court documents tie her contentious legal war with producer Amanda Ghost straight to the high-stakes public relations scandal that rocked Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. According to legal papers submitted to the Superior Court of the State of California, Ghost provided text messages allegedly sent by the *Pitch Perfect* star to entertainment publicist Melissa Nathan. The submitted communications suggest that Wilson reached out to Nathan to launch anonymous websites designed to tarnish Ghost’s professional standing.

The explosive fallout between the two women stems from Wilson’s 2024 project *The Deb*, which marked her first time in the director's chair. Following an intense feud during production, producers hit Wilson with defamation allegations, prompting the Australian actress to fire back with a countersuit of her own. Now, Ghost claims Wilson took her frustration a step further by seeking behind-the-scenes digital hits. In one text message highlighted in the legal filing, Wilson allegedly asked Nathan if she received her request regarding a website, adding that she had not yet been billed. Nathan allegedly answered that her team had the content ready to go after a brief hold-up.

The unexpected link to Lively centers on the specific publicist handling the alleged operation. Nathan is the same crisis PR agent whom Lively accused of running a coordinated smear campaign against her on behalf of her *It Ends With Us* director and co-star, Justin Baldoni. While the high-profile conflict between Lively and Baldoni ultimately reached a resolution, these fresh court filings suggest Nathan was a prominent figure for stars dealing with messy industry rivalries. Representatives for Wilson have not officially addressed the newly released text exchanges.
