Oscar-winning actor Geoffrey Rush was awarded an Australian record of 2.9 million Australian dollars damages by a Sydney judge on Thursday in defamation case against a newspaper publisher and journalist over reports he had been accused of inappropriate behavior toward an actress.
, including that Rush was a pervert and a sexual predator, but the publisher had not proven the meanings were true. Comic actress Rebel Wilson in 2017 had previously won an Australian record AU$4.7 million damages in a defamation case against a magazine publisher. But the damages were reduced by 90% on appeal.
Stone told The New York Times in December that Rush engaged in sexually inappropriate behavior when they starred in"The Diary of a Madman" on a Sydney stage in 2010.
Welcome back to Disney! That’s a lot of Booty! Pun intended. 😜
Finally, a man who wasn't a total pig. Rush was great in that Marquis De Sade movie.
So he is a sexual predator but the newspaper persons were mean to him.
