Rebel Wilson said she was devastated by a series of magazine articles that she claims painted her as a liar and subsequently cost her roles in Hollywood, a lawyer for the actress said Monday. Wilson is suing Australian publisher Bauer Media for defamation over several articles published in 2015 that the Australian-born actress said led to her film contracts being terminated. Collins said Wilson was subsequently fired from several movie roles. "They weren't nasty articles," lawyer Georgina Schoff said. Schoff also said the articles were factual, telling the court that Wilson did not grow up in the "ghetto" of Sydney as the actress previously said in interviews.
