If this is yet another false accusation of sexual impropriety, I hope Rush takes them to the cleaners.

A truly good man with an incredible line of successful movies spanning decades. His reputation has been tarnished by the allegations (none of which I believe} and I hope both News Corp and the accuser, are kicked to the kerb.

Go Geoffrey go. Send the false and fabricated story publisher to the hell and get record compensation pay out from the Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

Actor Rebel Wilson was able to secure a record payment of A$4.56 million ($3.25 million) in an unrelated defamation lawsuit in February, though that was overturned in June.

Ms Wilson's payout was overturned in May after the Court of Appeal found "there was no basis in the evidence for making any award of damages for economic loss".

Rebel Wilson's A$ 4.7 million award was reduced to A$ 600,000 by the Court of Appeal and ordered her to return A$ 4.1 million plus A$60,316 in interest to Bauer Media.
