Rebel Wilson has shared an exclusive sneak peek at her upcoming directorial debut musical film The Deb, amid a controversial legal battle with the producers.
The Pitch Perfect actress, 44, who is being sued by the film’s producers for defamation, posted a scene to Instagram which captured the characters singing an R-rated song.
The clip showcases the privileged female high school characters singing a raunchy song called F**k My Life, as they complain about how hard their wealthy lives are.
The hilarious footage indicates Rebel’s movie, which is adapted from a 2022 stage production of the same name, will be a side-splitting spoof of classical Hollywood musicals.
Rebel also shared a clip of her directing a dancing scene from her upcoming movie and captioned it with some informative words: ‘My directorial DEB-ut is about to world premiere in Toronto.
‘Can’t wait for The Deb to premiere in Toronto and for you to see all the hard work that’s gone into this awesome movie. This film is great because every department was GREAT!’
It comes after Rebel fired back at the producers of the movie in an expletive-laden rant after they filed legal action against her.
The actress made her point of view very clear after it emerged she was being sued for defamation by the producers of her movie in a shock fallout.

Producers Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron, and executive producer Vince Holden launched a lawsuit after Rebel accused them of blocking her movie from premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
Last month, the trio filed an amended complaint, prompting Wilson to hit back in a fiery statement aimed at Len Blavatnik, the billionaire whose company AI Film financed the coming-of-age musical.
‘Len Blavatnik, please stop funding and protecting Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden,’ Wilson wrote in an impassioned post on Instagram.

Labelling the producers as ‘f***wits’, she continued her tirade, also abusing them for being ‘vile and disgusting’.
‘Clearly these recent press articles and constant retaliations against me for speaking the truth on my small Australian movie are FALSE,’ Wilson continued.
‘All I did was tell the truth about these absolute f****wits – now they launch a bogus defamation suit and bogus articles to inflict further harm.’
Prior to that, the producers of The Deb branded Wilson a ‘malicious bully’ in a defamation lawsuit launched against her as the fallout from the movie’s bungled premiere continues to deteriorate.
In their amended complaint, The Deb producers claimed Wilson defamed them in an Instagram post in which she accused the trio of embezzling money from the film’s budget and also claimed that Ghost sexually harassed one of the lead actresses.
Meanwhile, Rebel’s lawyer Bryan Freedman claimed ‘the number of people who back up Rebel’s experience is staggering’ in a statement given to Deadline.
