Rebel Wilson Accuses Sacha Baron Cohen of Intimidation in Response to Her Memoir

Rebel Wilson has identified Sacha Baron Cohen as the Hollywood figure allegedly threatening her over her forthcoming memoir, “Rebel Rising.”

The Australian actress took to social media to name Cohen as the individual sending her threats to halt the publication of her book.

Wilson had previously referred to the individual as a “massive a**hole” she had worked with in the past, stating that he had employed a crisis PR team and had begun sending her threats after she announced her intention to dedicate a chapter of her memoir to exposing his behavior.

In a recent Instagram update on March 25, Wilson wrote defiantly, “I will not be bullied or silenced with high-priced lawyers or PR crisis managers. The ‘a**hole’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is Sacha Baron Cohen.”

In earlier posts, Wilson alleged that this individual, now revealed to be Cohen, was attempting to intimidate her.

She stated, “Now the a**hole is trying to threaten me. He’s hired a crisis PR manager and lawyers. He’s trying to stop press coming out about my new book. But the book WILL come out and you will all know the truth.”

Wilson and Cohen previously co-starred in the 2016 film “The Brothers Grimsby.” In a radio show appearance in 2014, Wilson suggested that Cohen had pressured her to perform nude scenes in the comedy.

She recounted instances where Cohen allegedly pushed her to engage in actions not scripted, including a request for Wilson to “stick your finger up my butt” during the final scene of the movie.

Wilson’s revelations on social media have sparked conversation and controversy, shedding light on alleged misconduct in Hollywood and the challenges faced by actors, particularly women, in navigating such situations.
