Rebel Wilson has shared an exclusive sneak peek of her upcoming directorial debut, musical film The Deb, amid a contentious legal battle with producers.
The 44-year-old Pitch Perfect actress, who is being sued by the film’s producers for defamation, posted a scene on Instagram that captured the characters singing an R-rated song.
The clip shows the privileged female high school characters singing a raunchy song called F**k My Life, while complaining about how difficult their rich lives are.
The hilarious images indicate that the Rebel movie, which is an adaptation of a 2022 stage production of the same name, will be a hilarious parody of classic Hollywood musicals.
Rebel also shared a clip of herself directing a dance scene from her upcoming film and captioned it with some informative words: ‘My DEB-ut as a director is about to have its world premiere in Toronto.
“I can’t wait for The Deb to premiere in Toronto and to see all the hard work that was put into this amazing film. This film is great because every department was GREAT!”
This comes after Rebel responded to the film’s producers with an expletive-laden tirade after they filed legal action against her.
The actress made her point very clear after it emerged that the producers of her film were suing her for defamation in a shocking incident.

Producers Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron, and executive producer Vince Holden filed a lawsuit after Rebel accused them of blocking the premiere of her film at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
Last month, the trio filed an amended complaint, prompting Wilson to respond with a harsh statement directed at Len Blavatnik, the billionaire whose company AI Film financed the coming-of-age musical.
‘Len Blavatnik, please stop funding and protecting Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden,’ Wilson wrote in an impassioned Instagram post.

Calling the producers “idiots,” he continued his tirade, also accusing them of being “vile and disgusting.”
“It is clear that these recent press articles and the continued retaliation against me for speaking the truth about my little Australian film are FALSE,” Wilson continued.
“All I did was tell the truth about these complete morons. Now they are filing a false defamation lawsuit and producing fake articles to cause even more damage.”
Prior to that, The Deb’s producers branded Wilson a “malicious bully” in a defamation lawsuit filed against her as the fallout from the film’s botched release continues to deteriorate.
In their amended complaint, The Deb producers claimed Wilson defamed them in an Instagram post in which he accused the trio of embezzling money from the film’s budget and also claimed Ghost sexually harassed one of the lead actresses.
Meanwhile, Rebel’s attorney Bryan Freedman said “the number of people who support Rebel’s experience is staggering” in a statement provided to Deadline.
