Rebel Wilson Accuses Producers of Trying to ‘Bury’ Directorial Debut


Rebel Wilson accused producers behind her directorial debut, 'The Deb,' of sabotaging it from making its Toronto International Film Fest premiere.

In a statement to Deadline, a spokesperson for the producers called Wilson’s allegations “defamatory, and disappointing,” adding, “Her self-promotional claims are clearly intended to cause reputational harm to the individuals who have supported her directorial debut film The Deb — a joyous movie that we’re very proud of and are looking forward to sharing with audiences. Earlier this year, in her memoir, Wilson accused Sacha Baron Cohen of behaving like a “massive asshole” while filming the 2016 comedy, The Brothers Grimsby. The actress’ publisher later announced that the book’s U.K. edition would redact the passages about about her experiences with Sacha Baron Cohen for “legal reasons.”
