Rebel Wilson is asked ‘did you just make that up?’ as she steps into the witness box at

Rebel Wilson has been questioned over a letter her lawyers sent to her co-producers for The Deb, accusing some of forcing Charlotte MacInnes to submit to ‘depraved sexual demands’.

Wilson’s relationship with her co-producers fell apart when she accused two of them, husband and wife Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron, of embezzling $900,000 from The Deb’s budget.

She also accused them of ‘commandeering coercive and physical control of [MacInnes] for their vile purposes’.

In court on Tuesday, MacInnes’ barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC asked Wilson about the unproven claims in the letter.

Wilson agreed that her lawyer drafted the letter, but she had a hard time agreeing the letter was sent on her behalf.

Eventually, Ms Chrysanthou asked Wilson to confirm if she had a law degree, and whether she did an ethics course during that degree.

Wilson agreed, and was then asked whether she knew it was wrong to make unproven claims.

Asked why she accused Ghost and Cameron of embezzlement, Wilson admitted she didn’t understand the word.

‘Do you know what embezzlement means?’ Ms Chrysanthou asked.

Wilson replied: ‘It’s being dodgy with money.’

Ms Chrysanthou said: ‘Is that a serious answer?’

Wilson said it was a serious answer.

Ms Chrysanthou continued: ‘Embezzlement is an English word, do you speak English Ms Wilson?’

Wilson replied: ‘Yes.’

Ms Chrysanthou asked: ‘How do you define embezzlement?’

Wilson said: ‘Being dodgy with money.’

Ms Chrysanthou asked if she knew embezzlement was a crime.

Wilson replied: ‘A financial crime, I guess it can be used in that sense.’

Ms Chrysanthou said: ‘That’s the only sense, as a financial crime.’

Wilson said: ‘I use it as people being dodgy with money.’

Ms Chrysanthou asked: ‘Have you ever looked it up?’

Wilson said; ‘No, I haven’t looked it up.’

Ms Chrysanthou asked why she didn’t look it up before repeatedly accusing Ms Ghost and Mr Cameron of stealing $900,000.

Wilson continued to explain that she meant they were being ‘dodgy’ with money.
