Rebel Wilson says actor Sacha Baron Cohen is the “a-hole” who has allegedly tried to threaten her upcoming memoir from publication.
Allegations Unveiled:
Wilson named Cohen in a post to her Instagram story on March 24, expressing her refusal to be silenced by legal pressure. She accused Cohen of attempting to hinder the release of her book by using high-priced lawyers and crisis managers.
Clarification and Response:
In a subsequent post, Wilson clarified that Sacha Baron Cohen is the individual she referred to as an “a–hole” in her book. This revelation followed her previous mention of an unnamed individual attempting to suppress her memoir.
Wilson and Cohen both starred in the 2016 film The Brothers Grimsby. Wilson played Dawn, the girlfriend of Cohen’s character, Norman “Nobby” Butcher. Cohen’s signature edgy style characterizes the film.
Response from Cohen’s Representative:
A representative for Cohen responded to the allegations, stating that Wilson’s claims were false and contradicted by extensive evidence, including documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from the production of “The Brothers Grimsby.”
Wilson reiterated her stance against working with “a–holes” in Hollywood and affirmed that Chapter 23 of her upcoming memoir, “Rebel Rising,” would provide further details about her experiences with the alleged “massive a–hole.”
