Wilkinson has come under heavy fire after she mentioned alleged rape victim Brittany Higgins in a speech moments after winning the Outstanding News Coverage Logie award for her one-on-one interview with the former ministerial staffer in 2021.
The acceptance speech has forced the rape trial, which was due to start next week, to be rescheduled until October and could result in Wilkinson being charged with contempt of court.
Wilkinson, meanwhile, has cancelled her appearances on The Project for the week as Network Ten threatens defamation action against other media outlets following the fallout of her controversial Logies speech.
