* A litany of Hollywood names have been dropped in the Federal Court as the star-studded defamation trial between Aussie A-lister Rebel Wilson and actor Charlotte MacInnes continues
* The dispute relates to incidents that occurred during the production of musical comedy The Deb, Wilson's directorial debut in which MacInnes starred
JUSTIN BALDONI AND BLAKE LIVELY
* The famously feuding former co-stars were referenced in relation to a discussion of smear websites created by a crisis PR team against The Deb's co-producer Amanda Ghost
* Wilson denied authoring or ordering the creation of the malicious websites that described Ms Ghost as an "Indian Ghislaine Maxwell" and a sex trafficker
* She said her US lawyer hired The Agency Group to assist with a legal dispute with her co-producers
* The firm is also accused of creating smear websites against Hollywood actor Blake Lively on behalf of her co-star Justin Baldoni
JAMES BLUNT
* The British singer was name-dropped in the context of Wilson's comments on Ms Ghost's professional standing
* In separate legal proceedings filed in the US against Ms Ghost, Wilson alleged the producer stole credit for Blunt's hit song You're Beautiful
* Wilson claimed the producer, who holds a writing credit on the song, "lied about her contributions and bombastically claimed an ownership percentage to (Blunt's song) of which she was wholly undeserving"
BRITNEY SPEARS
* Pop star Britney Spears shares a publicist with MacInnes
* Shoshanna Stone, who also represents high-profile clients including Shakira and Boy George, signed MacInnes to her roster in 2025
* MacInnes subsequently signed a six-figure record deal with Atlantic Records later that year, Ms Stone told the court
* The timeline and celebrity association was used to further arguments from Wilson's barrister Dauid Sibtain SC's that MacInnes had not suffered any harm to her career since Wilson's social media posts
FKA TWIGS
* The English singer-songwriter has been addressed throughout the case in relation to her friendship with Wilson and suggestions that she, too, had a bad experience with Ms Ghost
* Wilson included FKA Twigs in an email in July 2024 listing people who reportedly had negative experiences with the producer
* Incidentally, Wilson' US lawyer Bryan Freedman also represented FKA Twigs in her now-settled lawsuit against ex-partner Shia LaBeouf
CATE BLANCHETT AND MARGOT ROBBIE
* MacInnes previously told the court Wilson was "very difficult to be around" following the alleged complaint
* Wilson's lawyer questioned the assertion, asking the rising young star if she was "under sufferance" when the Hollywood actor introduced her to Australian acting royalty of the likes of Margot Robbie and Cate Blanchett
* A photo of MacInnes smiling alongside Wilson and Ms Blanchett backstage at the 2024 AACTA Awards was shown to the court
