WhatsApp messages disclosed showing actor discussed pretending she had been hospitalised
Eva Green was so concerned she would have to make what she had described as a career-wrecking B-movie that she discussed pretending she had been hospitalised in order to avoid turning up, a court has heard.
Max Mallin KC said Green was so concerned about what would happen if called upon to perform that she suggested her agent, Charles Collier, “invent a story about Ms Green being hospitalised”. Their evidence has included vituperative WhatsApp exchanges with her agent and a writer, in which the actor referred to a lead producer, Jake Seal, and his colleague Terry Bird as, respectively, “pure vomit” and “a fucking moron”.
In closing arguments on Green’s behalf, her lawyers said: “EG is a professional actor who has not breached a contract in a 20-year career. She had been advised by Mr Collier as to the consequences – namely a huge claim for damages such as that which she has had to confront. Moreover, such a course would be career threatening.”
Green’s barrister, Edmund Cullen KC, previously told the court that the case was “designed to paint my client as a diva to win headlines and damage her reputation”.

‘Performative rather than necessary’: Labor govt uses reviews to ‘insert more control’The Labor government uses reviews to work out ways to “insert more government control” and “more politically correct, official supervision” of our daily lives, says Sky News host Peta Credlin. Ms Credlin said the government has already commissioned more than 140 reviews, consultation papers, round tables, summits, and inquiries, according to an analysis in The Australian newspaper today. “Nearly always, these Albanese reviews are about softening us up for yet more broken promises, conditioning the bureaucracy to green-left thinking, and making the public think that big government change is part of the natural order of things,” Ms Credlin said. “So much of this seemingly endless reviewing is performative, rather than necessary – striking a pose like that big Jobs and Skills Summit that was little more than an expensive photo op. And all of this adds to the general disillusionment voters have with public life.'
