Have you been paying attention to the colorful trial unfolding in Australia, where Charlotte MacInnes, an actress on The Deb, is suing the film’s director and star, Rebel Wilson, for defamation? Apart from being an amuse-bouche of sorts to next month’s Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni spectacle—yes, smear sites make an appearance—the Deb affair is also an elegant study in how different legal systems grapple with false speech. The case also illuminates how the ground has shifted since the height of #MeToo, when defamation suits largely involved the accused pushing back. Here, MacInnes is suing over being falsely cast as a victim.
