Rebel Wilson About Sacha Baron Cohen
Rebel Wilson has shared her experiences with Sacha Baron Cohen in her new memoir, "Rebel Rising." While discussing her career and journey to self-love, the Senior Year actress has alleged inappropriate behavior by The Dictator star.
According to PEOPLE, Wilson mentions in her memoir that she first met Baron Cohen at a dinner party in 2013. Later, he called her and offered her the role of his girlfriend in the 2016 movie, The Brothers Grimsby, an R-rated comedy co-written and produced by Cohen.
Recalling her on-set experience in the book, the How to Be Single star wrote, "It felt like every time I'd speak to SBC, he'd mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene. I was like, 'Ha, I don't do nudity, Sacha.'"
Further elaborating on filming in Cape Town, Wilson stated, "SBC summons me via a production assistant saying that I'm needed to film an additional scene. 'Okay, well, we're gonna film this extra scene,' SBC says. Then he pulls his pants down ... SBC says very matter-of-factly: 'Okay, now I want you to stick your finger up my ass.' And I'm like, 'What?? ... No!!' ..."
The time she spent with Baron Cohen left her feeling afraid, as she wrote, "I was now scared. I wanted to get out of there, so I finally compromised: I slapped him on the ass and improvised a few lines as the character."
Sacha Baron Cohen about the allegations
While addressing these issues, Wilson wrote that she's "not about canceling anybody" but wants to share the information to encourage other women and support them in speaking up about their terrible experiences.
On the other hand, The Trial of the Chicago 7 actor has denied all allegations regarding the mistreatment of Wilson.
Through his representatives, a statement was issued that read, "While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby."
The representatives also provided nine anonymous statements supporting the comedian from people they claim were involved during the filming of The Brothers Grimsby.
