Further talking of her terrible experiences, she stated, “It turned out to be the worst professional experience of my career.”
Taking it to her Instagram, the Bridesmaids actress said, “I will not be bullied or silenced with high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers.”

Further talking to The Sunday Times, Rebel Wilson went on to talk about her Brother Grimsby costumes. She wrote, "The clothes were designed to see all the cellulite on my thighs and a top to show the fattest part of my arm…like I was something to be laughed at and degraded because of my size.”
Besides this, the actress from How To Be Single has stated, “It’s one thing for someone who is fat to exploit their size for comedy, but it’s another for somebody else to humiliate you.”
All the allegations that Rebel Wilson has spoken of, Baron Cohen has however denied, while also attempting to prevent the publishing of her memoir, as reported by Variety.
A statement by The Dictator actor received by the said Magazine reads, “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 memoir Rebel Rising will be out on 2 April 2024.
