Details Emerge in Rebel Wilson’s Claims About ‘A**hole’ Sacha Baron Cohen
New details have emerged from a chapter of Rebel Wilson’s forthcoming memoir in which she writes about the way she was allegedly treated by Sacha Baron Cohen on the set of a movie they starred in together several years ago.
The book has been generating headlines since last week, when Wilson publicly claimed an unnamed Hollywood “asshole” was attempting to stop press coverage of her work. She later revealed that the “‘asshole’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen.”
“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,” a spokesperson for Baron Cohen told The Daily Beast on Monday.
