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.

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.
