Sacha Baron Cohen Passages Redacted From Rebel Wilson’s Memoir in U.K.

Rebel Wilson's U.K. publisher has redacted the passages about Sacha Baron Cohen from her memoir 'Rebel Rising.'

In response, Baron Cohen’s representatives said, “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. They continued, “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.” “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.
