Rebel Wilson’s feud with Sacha Baron Cohen has taken a new turn. The duo have been locked in a war of words since Wilson made serious allegations against theBoratstar.
The Australian actress managed to raise a lot of eyebrows with her statements about her co-star. However, not everything might be as they seem. With Wilson’s memoir set to launch soon, a new detail has come to light, one which raises questions about the actress’ veracity.
Why was Rebel Wilson feuding with Sacha Baron Cohen?
BothRebel WilsonandSacha Baron Cohenare well-known faces in the acting industry. Both are known for their comedic timing, and it was not surprising when they worked together on the film,TheBrothers Grimsby.

While the film had a lot of heart, it failed to win over the critics and audience. As a result, it bombed at the box office, earning only$27 million worldwide. Since then, Wilson and Cohen have worked on other projects, and have found varying degrees of success.
ThePitch Perfectactress announced she was writing her memoir, but what really raised a lot of eyebrows were herallegations against her former co-star. In her book,Rebel Rising, the actress wrote about how Cohen harassed her while shooting their 2016 film. She thentook to Instagramto claim that Cohen was a“massive a*shole,”and that she wouldnever work with him again. Even though she did not name him in the post, she alluded to the chapter she had written about.

Wilson even alleged that he had hired a PR teamto stop the book from being released. She went on to name Cohen in a social media post, although it has since been deleted. Cohen’s team had categorically rejected the claims, and now, this saga has seen a new twist.
Rebel Wilson’s memoir will no longer have the parts about Sacha Baron Cohen
Wilson’s book was released on April 2nd, and it shed light on how herBrothers Grimsbyco-starharassed her. She wrote that every time she spoke to Cohen he told her to,“go naked in a future scene,”(via The Guardian). Furthermore, he did not like it when she said no.

With the UK release looming ahead, apparently, the sections about Cohen have been removed. His team responded to the news in a statement toVariety, claiming victory for the actor.
“Harper Collins did not fact check this chapter in the book prior to publication and took the sensible but terribly belated step of deleting Rebel Wilson’s defamatory claims once presented with evidence that they were false. Printing falsehoods is against the law in the U.K. and Australia; this is not a ‘peculiarity’ as Ms. Wilson said but a legal principle that has existed for many hundreds of years. 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,”read the statement.
Rebel Wilson’s team has not responded to this just yet. However, it has generated a positive buzz, offering a candid view of her life.
