Rebel ‘out of pocket’

REBEL Wilson says she will be out of pocket despite claiming victory in a defamation fight against Bauer Media.

The Australian actor took to Twitter to complain that despite the win she wouldn’t make a dollar after the Court of Appeal set aside a compensation order valued at more than $4 million.

“It means I now lose money when all my costs are paid when I was the victim of clear cut malicious defamation, and a jury ruled in my favour on every single point 47-0,” she said. Wilson won the biggest defamation payout in Australian history after taking Bauer to court over articles that she said destroyed her reputation.
