The production firms behind Rebel Wilson's directorial debut have made a vigorous legal attack against the A-lister seeking to shut down legal claims over the conflict-beset film.

The Deb, a musical comedy filmed in rural NSW, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024 but has yet to see a wider release amid ongoing disputes between Wilson and her co-producers.

Those producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden have sued the high-profile actor in California over allegedly defamatory claims she made publicly about them.

Her accusations include embezzlement, sexual harassment of the film's lead actor Charlotte MacInnes, bullying over the sexual misconduct claims and obstruction of the film's release.
