Rebel Wilson just revealed on social media that Sacha Baron Cohen is the Hollywood star who has been sending her threats to stop her from publishing her memoir, “Rebel Rising.”
The Australian actress has not yet gotten to know Baron Cohen, and described him as a “huge bastard” with whom she worked. She said that the star hired a crisis public relations team and began sending her threats after she claimed that she would devote an entire chapter to him in her memoirs and expose his behavior. Chapter 23 in “Rebel Rising” is where Wilson says she’ll reveal the details.
“I will not be bullied or silenced by my overpaid lawyer or PR crisis manager. The ‘a-hole’ I talk about in chapter one of my book is Sacha Baron Cohen, she claimed in an Instagram story several hours ago.
“Now this a**hole is trying to threaten me. He’s hired a PR manager and crisis lawyers. He’s trying to stop the press for my new book. But the book is coming out and you’ll all know the truth,” Wilson claimed in previous posts.
diverse I have reached out to Baron Cohen’s publicist for comment.
Wilson and Baron Cohen starred together in the 2016 film “The Brothers Grimsby.”
In a March 15 post on Instagram, Wilson said: “When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, yeah, ‘I don’t have a no a**hole policy,’ I mean like, yeah, I don’t work with a**holes. I was like, “Oh yeah.” I mean this seems reasonable or logical. But then it really sunk in because I worked with a big a**hole and yes, now I definitely have a no a**hole policy.
