Rebel Wilsonis receiving support from members of The Deb cast and crew amid her ongoing lawsuit from the film's producers.

Days after The Debproducers Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron and executive producer Vince Holden filed a definition lawsuit against Wilson, 44, several of the film's cast and crew gathered around the first-time director and issued statements of support regarding their experiences on- and off-set.

“Rebel consistently expressed immense gratitude toward all individuals involved in the project. Noteworthy examples of her appreciation include the personalized caps she presented to each cast member as keepsake gifts, as well as the raffle prizes she distributed during one of the filming nights," said actor Max Ostler.

"These thoughtful gestures, which was neither required nor solicited, served to highlight her genuine and compassionate character. Rebel demonstrated a genuine commitment to fostering a welcoming atmosphere," his statement continued.

Ostler said Wilson "made a conscious effort to greet and engage with not only myself but with every individual involved in the project."

Wilson was "incredibly supportive and collaborative on set not only to myself, but also to those around me during filming and at all other times," actor Shane Jacobson said, adding that he would "be more than happy to put my hand up to be directed my Rebel Wilson again anytime in the future."

Others have also expressed their support in the comments section of one of Wilson's latest Instagram posts, with one commenter who claimed they worked on the film writing, "the crew h -

The lawsuit against Wilson claims that "the dispute between the producers and Rebel came to a head" after she expressed interest in wanting a co-writing credit and rights to the film's original music.

"Rebel’s goal in these several disputes was to get credit for work she did not do and to overshadow young, upcoming artists who truly deserved the credit," the lawsuit, which was reviewed by PEOPLE, alleged.

The complaint was filed days after Wilson posted a lengthyInstagram video accusing the producers of "bad behavior" on set and blocking the film from premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

However, on Tuesday, July 16, theToronto International Film FestivalannouncedthatThe Debwould be closing the festival on Sunday, Sept. 15.

"Beyond grateful that THE DEB will be shared with audiences in Toronto this September," Wilson wrote on Instagram Tuesday. "Thank you TIFF for the selection of a film so close to my heart, a film I’ve fought to make as a first time female director - to the cast and crew, and to my awesome fans, thank you for your continued love and support!"

According to a synopsis from The Hollywood Reporter, The Deb follows lovable farm girl and high school outcast Taylah Simpkins (Natalie Abbott), who is certain the upcoming Debutante Ball, “the Deb,” is her one chance to redefine herself.
