from Yeah, Nah, Your Honour! · host samantha lee

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 4 of Yeah, Nah, Your Honour, host Samantha Lee and expert defamation lawyer Stewart O'Connell (O'Brien Solicitors) break down the Rebel Wilson v MacInnes case — a Hollywood defamation battle involving a Bondi Beach swim, a bathtub encounter, and a storm of Instagram posts. We unpack how the Federal Court determines defamatory meaning, the "ordinary reasonable reader" test, the serious harm threshold, and why truth is the ultimate defence. Plus: why defamation trials can backfire on everyone involved, the risks of taking your case to court, and what the Lehrmann and Roberts-Smith sagas teach us about reputation on trial. Yeah or nah? You decide.Support the show
