Rebel Wilson has spoken publicly after being awarded a landmark $4.5 million in damages following her successful court case against Bauer Media.
In a series of tweets, she said it was “the end of a long and hard court battle” and that Justice John Dixon accepted that the damage inflicted on her “extremely high reputation” was “substantial”.
She also backed her words earlier this year that her millions in damages will go towards Australian charities and the Aussie film industry. Hell bloody yeah.

In June this year, a jury found that a series of either articles published across Bauer Media’s supermarket mag spectrum (Woman’s Day, Woman’s Weekly, OK Magazine and New Weekly) in 2015 that painted Wilson a “serial liar” was defamatory.
Honestly though, there’s one thing we’ll always remember about this court case, and it’s that Rebel Wilson is absolutely, deadset, 100% sure that she’s related to dreams connoisseur Walt Disney himself.
