The producers of Wilson’s film say the allegations are “false.”
“RW’s allegations are false, defamatory and disappointing,” a spokesperson for the producers said. Deadline.
‘Her self-promotional claims are clearly intended to damage the reputation of the people who supported her directorial debut, The Deb, a joyful film that we are very proud of and look forward to sharing with audiences.
“The fact that she promotes a false narrative to advance her own interests undermines the film and all the people who worked on this project.”
Wilson stated in her video: ‘Sometimes you’re trying so hard in life that you don’t know what to do, well that’s the situation. You may have noticed that I made a post a week ago about the first film I directed, which I’m very proud of, The Deb.
“Royce always makes me smile no matter how down I feel inside,” Rebel wrote in her caption.
“It’s a small Australian musical that’s amazing. It was selected for the closing night of the Toronto Film Festival, which is the best platform for being a debut director, it’s huge.
“Having the joy of having a film selected is one thing, but having commercial partners say that the film cannot be released is devastating. Why do they say that? Why do they prevent it?”
Wilson said: “This goes back to October of last year when I uncovered misconduct by these business partners. They are producers of the film, their names are Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron and the executive producer is Vince Holden.”
“When I learned of his bad behavior, I reported his misconduct.”
Wilson said that since she reported the problems she has encountered “absolute cruelty and bad behaviour”.
She said she managed to finish the film, but claimed that the producers told her she cannot release it.
“This is the work of hundreds of people and this behavior is absolutely vile and disgusting,” Wilson continued.
“I will tell the truth and warn people about people in the industry who are not behaving ethically. That’s my dilemma: if that movie doesn’t play in Toronto, it will be because of these complete morons.”
