Brilliant Lawyer and amazing actress too.
You go girl

[baynemarrowe]

She's actually one of the reasons why I'm planning to take Law after my undergraduate college.

[Christina-dzqf]

What was the point of them lying about her? Like honestly why did they even do that, did they get something out of it? I honestly don’t get the point of things like this.

Way to go Rebel - I too was put up against my career and someone tried to defame me - I had to fight to prove myself - simply horrible to go through. Took 2 years for me but I won! Never take anyone's shit! Fight back!

[AnnOsman]

As someone who once was a victim of defamation myself, i can relate with her feeling.. anyone who had to go through this knows how much this situation can damage your life, your career, your self-esteem and your ability to socialize with ppl..

Smart, beautiful and funny! Go Rebel. What awful magazine "articles"

[vickiecook]

You go girl.so sorry you had to go through this...you are a Rebel..

[bullterror]

If she didn't lie in Court to win her case, then WHY has she been CAUGHT RED Handed doing the EXACT SAME THING she sued a Media Outlet for reporting that she did?

Oh the Webs we weave when we first set out to DECEIVE!

[marijamartinovic]

5 million to charity, she is a queen!

[marinakosova]

Really, really do not understand the hate!!!

[sweiland]

So her real name is not Melanie Elizabeth Bownds?

[jimmyisherenow]

I still thought all that stuff was true till this day. Well everyone is related to walt disney, you ain't special rebel.

[cxc]

Too many Aussies we had to split them up? Why would he say that? Imagine host saying too many blacks sitting together so we had to split them

[polynesianpuppet]

this seems like silly stuff to sue over. Everybody lies about their age in Hollywood and embellish things from their backgrounds and besides all the claims sound like things she's capable of doing.

[harro]

Well I guess congratulations for proving she didn't lie about her age. But she's provided no evidence that the articles effected her career (I didn't realize Hollywood producers read Australian women's Day and New Idea magazines, etc). She has provided no evidence she is related to Walt Disney. She tried to lie on the Letterman show about where she grew up in Sydney. She tried to lie to Graham Norton by telling him a spider once bit her face and baby spiders hatched out of the swelling (this is story that she heard on Australian FM talk back radio and applied to herself). I mean I still think this woman is full of bullshit and I think the judges should only give her about $100, 000 at the most. Now she's saying she will give the money to charity, But I thought she was destitute with her career in ruins. How can she afford to give it all to charity. Yet another lie perhaps.

Rebel Wilson is absurd. Her Schtick is to be outrageous and outspoken and then whines about people who do same.
