Rebel Wilson’s Memoir to Be Published in U.K. With Sacha Baron Cohen Allegations Redacted
Rebel Wilson's memoir 'Rebel Rising' will be published in the U.K. with redacted passages about her experience working with Sacha Baron Cohen.
Following the news of the redaction in the U.K. edition, a spokesperson for Baron Cohen shared in a statement, “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.” 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.” Baron Cohen denied Wilson’s claims about his behavior on the “Brothers Grimsby” set, saying in a statement through a spokesperson, “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.’”
