Rebel Wilson has accused a British film star of trying to stop her from mentioning him in her upcoming memoir, with the star now hitting back in a statement
The Hollywood star shared her claims in a candid statement, saying Baron Cohen tried to shut down allegations she made about him in her expose book. Making waves with her tale of a tiff with an iconic British actor, Wilson outed Baron Cohen as the star trying to keep his name out of her soon-to-be-released memoir.
Taking to Instagram on March 15, Wilson spilled some Tinsel Town secrets: "When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, yeah, 'I have a no a**hole policy, means like, yeah, I don't work with a**holes.' I was like, 'Oh yeah. I mean, that sounds sensible or logical. But then it really sunk in because I worked with a massive a**hole and yeah, now I definitely have a no a**holes policy.
Baron Cohen's spokesperson said on Monday: "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."
Wilson and Baron Cohen were both in the 2016 movie Grimsby. The film didn't get great reviews and was written by Baron Cohen. In the film, Wilson played Dawn Grobham, who is the girlfriend of Baron Cohen's character Nobby Butcher, and she looks after his 11 kids.
