The Australian actor Rebel Wilson has been accused of using US court proceedings to harass and intimidate the lead actor in her directorial debut, The Deb.

The New South Wales supreme court heard on Friday that earlier this month the star of The Deb, Charlotte MacInnes, was served a deposition in the UK, demanding she appear before a hearing in California later this month.
