Quote:

Rebel Wilson has been awarded more than $4.5 million in damages after she was repeatedly defamed in a series of articles about her age. The Australian actor won her defamation lawsuit against Bauer Media in June. The damages payout was handed down in court on Wednesday. It’s understood to be an Australian record. “I find that absolutely staggering,” Neil Mitchell said. Ms Wilson was not present in court.

COULD this be the end of FAKE NEWS??

Gee wizz - I must be owed $1 billion from Jovial & Greggy.

If you read it can you give us a summary?

No doubt she was defamed, but the amount awarded doesn't pass the sniff test as the consensus among most is that her lack of good acting roles are a reflection of her acting ability.

Here you go Gordon....I can't muster the interest to read the full judgement.

Good, it is well time that these schmedia freaks got a boot up the clacker.

She'll need that $4.5 million to live on I reckon

coz she's a hopeless actress

never liked the parts she has played in movies

& never ever thought she was very funny in what she did here before

her Hollywood stint.

She actually said that she'd donate whatever she won in this case to a charity............we'll see?

As has been said, she's a cr@p actress, a rubbish comedienne, and like the fat wranger on The Project, she also likes to laugh at her own unfunny attempts at humour......

I did not mention anything about what I might like or otherwise.

It was a simple question.  Was it too hard for you?  If so, sorry, I can't dumb it down any further for you.

Hey Cods. YOU'RE FAT!!! How much do I owe you? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Wilson is donating the money to charity...

full costs to the Rag is expected to hit over 8 Million ...

possibly shutting down the struggling Australian arm of this magazine...

if they appeal then cost will keep going up..

Wilson tried to settle out of court for 200,000

they told her to get stuffed and went to court.. lol

they say it'll open a can of worms with other actors likely to take on these "magazines"

It certainly seemed like a bloated payout. I wonder if there will be an appeal to trim it down?

Even if Rebel Wilson were de-boned, she'd still weigh 255lbs.

Exactly, she is donating it to charity, maybe she should donate some back to the struggling magazines?
Now wouldn't that be ironic.

But Rebel was happy to settle for $200,000.....let that be a huge lesson known for a paparazzi magazine thinking they are bigger and better.

I must say, I am stunned by the amount of money.

And I like Rebel, I think she is awesome, and pretty, a bit plump, that that adds to her humour, and I like the fact she is comfortable in her own skin, those that keep putting up slander against her for being fat or whatever, must not be very tolerant of differences nor comfortable in their own skin to point out faults in others.

You'd like to THINK so- but probably not

I'm not a fan of Rebel either but that is quite irrelevant.
The real story is that those trashy celebrity gossip magazines have finally been given a hefty fine for the lies that they publish on a consistent basis.

I'm not sure how the publishers and editors of those magazines can look themselves in the mirror each morning. They are the worst of the bottom feeders.

Will this mean the end of Fake news? No......Murdoch is still publishing

All good, the fat broad has said she is going to give it all to charity.
