Australian actress Rebel Wilson was awarded $3.66 million dollars by an Australian judge in a defamation case against Bauer Media who printed articles about her that cost her getting roles in Hollywood movies.
The first was that Bauer Media did not “properly investigate” the allegations from an anonymous source who was paid out for the information and claimed to be a former classmate with Rebel Wilson.
According to The Guardian, the large sum of money is purposefully large, as Justice John Dixon had this to say.
According to the law firm representing Wilson, the payout is 4 times higher than the previous record in Australia.
