Hollywood actress Rebel Wilson on Friday said she was proud to “stand up to a bully” despite losing a bid to reinstate a multi-million-dollar defamation payout from an Australian publisher. The “Pitch Perfect” star was awarded Aus$4.5 million (US$3.3 million) in damages against Bauer Media ast year over articles claiming she lied about her age and background to further her career. It was the largest defamation penalty in Australian legal history and drew criticism from across the country’s publishing industry, which said it set a dangerous precedent.
