'I had to stand up to a bully': Wilson wins in court
Rebel Wilson wins her defamation case against Bauer media. Wilson says the media company maliciously took her down in a series of 'grubby and completely false articles.'
Ms Wilson's barrister, Matt Collins QC, told the Victorian Supreme Court on Monday the damages sought are conservative because there is a "degree of guesswork" involved in calculating how much income Wilson lost as a result of being branded a serial liar.
Bauer Media - the publisher of gossip magazines such as Woman's Day and Australian Women's Weekly - was found last week to have defamed the Pitch Perfect star over eight articles that were published in 2015.

It is now up to Justice John Dixon to decide how much the Hollywood actress should be awarded in damages. Wilson has maintained all along that the court case wasn't about the money, arguing it was instead about standing up to a "bully".
In the early hours of Thursday morning, Wilson promised to give away any cash she receives from the successful lawsuit (after her lawyers take their cut, of course). The comedian said she would be donating the money to charity and may also invest it back into the Australian film industry.
