Rebel Wilson Reveals the Lewd Scene She Felt Pressured by Sacha Baron Cohen to Film: ‘I Wanted to Get Out of There’

In an except from her upcoming memoir 'Rebel Rising,' Rebel Wilson alleges inappropriate behavior from Sacha Baron Cohen while on set for a film.

Earlier this week, the actress revealed her The Brothers Grimsby co-star Sacha Baron Cohen as the “massive asshole” she discusses in the book, a claim he referred to as being “demonstrably false.” A new excerpt from the forthcoming release alleges the actor pressured Wilson into inappropriate scenes while on set for the 2016 film. “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,” the statement reads. However, separate statements from Wilson’s sister and close friend recall the actress contacting them soon after the on-set incident, though a writer-producer maintains that it “was a scheduled, scripted scene.”
