Court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court have revealed text message exchanges between actress Rebel Wilson and crisis publicist Melissa Nathan regarding a proposal for an untraceable digital site. The communications, dated August 2024, show Nathan offering a comprehensive package including a satellite link, ghost server, ghost hosting, and a three-month social media algorithmic push priced at $110,000. Wilson questioned the figure before Nathan clarified the amount. During a subsequent deposition, Wilson testified she could not recall sending or receiving the messages and expressed uncertainty regarding the meaning of an untraceable site. The filings do not establish whether payment was completed. Producer Amanda Ghost, opposing Wilson in ongoing litigation, is seeking financial records to determine transaction status. Wilson's attorney criticized the release as incomplete, while producer legal representation argued the evidence contradicts prior denials concerning crisis management activities.
