In the five years since her diagnosis, the 54-year-old “Married... with Children” star has become a prominent advocate for people with the disease, openly sharing her experiences about living with MS. But on Tuesday, Applegate revealed doctors have told her she doesn’t actually have the condition.

Rebel Wilson secures another Australian court win as co-producers of The Deb awarded just $10 - The Guardian

Rebel Wilson has been ordered to pay A$10 (US$7, £5) in damages after emerging victorious from a bitter legal spat with her latest film’s co-producers. The Pitch Perfect star directed, co-produced and starred in The Deb, a musical comedy that became the battleground for multiple legal battles in Australia and the US. Filmed on a $22m budget, The Deb made just $335,000 (US$235,000, £175,284) at the local box office and is yet to screen outside Oceania. Wilson’s co-producers allege that shortfall could be traced to her false and derogatory statements about them online. The Bridesmaids star claimed in July 2024 that producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden tried to block The Deb’s release, embezzled money, and behaved inappropriately towards the film’s star, Charlotte MacInnes. The producers alleged Wilson caused their company financial and reputational damage in an attempt to devalue her debut film so she could buy it from them. On Friday, Justice Elisabeth Peden awarded the trio a mere $10 in damages and otherwise dismissed the summons in the New South Wales supreme court.
