Actress Rebel Wilson says she wishes she had stood up to Sacha Baron Cohen for fat-shaming her


Actress Rebel Wilson today reveals she would now be strong enough to walk away from the alleged 'degrading' treatment she claims she suffered at the hands of Sacha Baron Cohen.

The Australian-born star, 44, tells today's edition of Desert Island Discs that she allowed herself to be 'degraded' by the British comedian because she lacked the self-esteem to stand up for herself when they acted together in the 2016 film Grimsby. In Grimsby, which was a failure at the box office, Baron Cohen played a feckless football hooligan called Nobby who has 11 children with his partner Dawn, Wilson's role. In her recent memoir Rebel Rising, Wilson accused the Ali G and Borat actor of pressuring her into doing a nude scene and making her wear clothes that showed her in the most unflattering light.
