Rebel Wilson Says She Felt ‘Disrespected’ on ‘Brothers Grimsby’ Set: ‘I Was Something to Be Laughed at and Degraded’

Rebel Wilson shared more details about her experiences filming 'The Brothers Grimsby' in a new interview.

She told the outlet that she believed the film’s costumes were picked to “see all the cellulite on my thighs and a top to show the fattest part of my arm… like I was something to be laughed at and degraded because of my size.” The interview comes on the heels of her revealing last week that her The Brothers Grimsby co-star Sacha Baron Cohen is the “massive asshole” she discusses in her memoir Rebel Rising, a claim he referred to as being “demonstrably false.” A new excerpt from her upcoming tome alleges the actor pressured Wilson into inappropriate scenes while on set for the 2016 film, including nude scenes and being asked by Cohen “to stick your finger up my ass.” “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.
