“The Deb” has finally made his debut. Sort of.

The coming-of-age musical, which found itself at the center of a heated brawl between director Rebel Wilson and three producers, screened for a select group of industry people at WME's Beverly Hills offices on Monday afternoon.

Wilson attended the screening, which was described in an invitation as an "intimate, private" event. Before the screening, the "Pitch Perfect" star gave a short speech in which he thanked everyone for coming and encouraged guests to "laugh and cry and feel whatever they want to." After the credits rolled, Wilson emerged, tears welling in his eyes, apparently moved by the audience's enthusiastic response, according to one attendee. Among the guests were fellow Australian directors Phillip Noyce and Sophia Banks, as well as representatives from Netflix and Universal. The two studios have long had close ties with Wilson through "Isn't It Romantic" and "Senior Year" (Netflix) and "Bridesmaids" and "Pitch Perfect" (Universal).

The film, which marks Wilson's directorial debut, has sparked wild allegations from both sides, with the "Pitch Perfect" star accusing the film's producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden of skimming money from the budget, while the trio hit back by suing Wilson for defamation. Wilson also alleged in a social media post that Ghost — who is married to Cameron — sexually harassed one of the film's young stars during production. Wilson doubled down on her allegations after the producers filed an amended complaint on July 31, calling on Len Blavatnik, the billionaire whose AI Film bankrolled the film, to "please stop funding and protecting" the trio.
