The Australian publishers of Rebel Wilson's memoir have confirmed a chapter will be redacted due to legal issues when the book is published in May. A spokesperson for Sacha Baron Cohen has responded saying the publisher didn't fact check the chapter prior to publication and that claims made about the Borat star are 'demonstrably false'.
When Rebel Wilson 's memoir is published in Australia and New Zealand next month, parts of it will be redacted for legal reasons.It came out in the United States on April 2 under publisher Simon & Schuster, with excerpts quoted in the media.
The UK edition was released Thursday with blacked out text and a note saying the redactions were made "due to peculiarities of the law in England and Wales". Wilson says she felt humiliated by the comedian on the set of the 2016 movie, claiming she was asked to perform a lewd act.In response to this latest news about the redactions, Cohen's spokesperson is quoted in various media outlets as saying:
"This is a clear victory for Sacha Baron Cohen and confirms what we said from the beginning — that this is demonstrably false, in a shameful and failed effort to sell books."Wilson, who starred in Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect, writes about losing her virginity at 35 and how she was initially "terrified" of physical intimacy.
Rebel Wilson was hospitalised after a 'stunt accident'.
