Los Angeles, California – Actress Rebel Wilson has recently unveiled that her former co-star in the film “Grimsby,” Sacha Baron Cohen, is the individual she referred to as a Hollywood “asshole” attempting to prevent her from including details about him in her upcoming memoir, “Rebel Rising.”
This revelation came after Wilson shared on Instagram her intention to dedicate a chapter in her book to a person she described as a “massive asshole” she encountered in Hollywood, without initially disclosing the identity or project they collaborated on.
In a video posted on Instagram, Wilson reflected on her experience working with difficult individuals in the industry, leading her to adopt a “no assholes policy.” She eventually confirmed that the subject of the chapter in question is indeed Sacha Baron Cohen, referring to him as a “massive asshole.”
Scheduled for release in bookstores on April 2, “Rebel Rising” by Simon & Schuster will recount Wilson’s journey from Australia to achieving success in Hollywood.
Wilson took to social media over the weekend to reveal that the individual in question had enlisted the help of crisis PR managers and lawyers to prevent her from sharing her story. Despite the pressure, Wilson remained steadfast in her decision to publish her book and reveal the truth to her audience.
In subsequent Instagram posts, Wilson boldly named Sacha Baron Cohen as the actor mentioned in her memoir, further shedding light on their past collaboration on the 2016 comedy film “Grimsby.” The actress had previously hinted at disagreements and friction regarding her role in the film, particularly involving requests made by Baron Cohen during filming.
Despite the reported challenges during their work together, Wilson managed to find a compromise with Baron Cohen on certain scenes, showcasing her determination to uphold her boundaries and professional standards.
As the situation unfolds, Wilson’s decision to speak out about her experiences in Hollywood adds a layer of transparency to the entertainment industry, highlighting the complexities and dynamics between actors on set.
