Sacha Baron Cohen Camp Claims Vindication As UK Publisher Redacts Rebel Wilson’s Barbed Memoir


Sacha Baron Cohen Camp Claims Vindication As UK Publisher Redacts Rebel Wilson's Barbed Memoir

When the UK version of the book is published tomorrow, the chapter about him will be largely redacted, this after Baron Cohen’s attorneys threatened to sue Harper Collins over allegations his camp has maintained were provably false. Said a spokesperson for Baron Cohen: “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 what SBC’s camp has said since Wilson first lashed out at him: “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.”
