In a chapter of Rebel Wilsons yet to be release memoir, the actress makes mention of an actor she says is a total asshole. But, as most do, she kept his name out of the book, to spare her the lawsuits. No more.
According to a story Rebel made on her Instagram. The asshole is non other than the toxic Sacha Baron Cohen. The man who made a career out of imitating foreigners for laughs.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, she wrote: ‘I will not be silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers. The a****** I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen.’
‘I wrote about an a**hole in my book,’ she told Instagram followers. ‘Now, said a****** is trying to threaten me. He’s hired a crisis PR manager and lawyers.
‘He is trying to stop press coming out about my book. But the book WILL come out and you will all know the truth.’
In an Instagram video shared on March 15, Wilson revealed that she has dedicated a chapter in her book to the ‘massive a**hole’ she worked with in Hollywood.
The Pitch Perfect star also claimed she would eventually name the male colleague, whose alleged behaviour prompted her to adopt a ‘no a**holes policy’ on set.
She wrote: ‘When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, “Yeah, I have a no-a**holes policy that means, like, I don’t work with a**holes.” I was like, “Yeah, I mean, that sounds sensible and logical.”
‘But then it really sunk in what they were meaning by that, older people in the industry. Because I worked with a massive a**hole, and, yeah, now I definitely have a no-a**holes policy.
‘Chapter one said a**hole — it is chapter 23, that guy was a massive a**hole.’
She added: ‘Do you want to know who is the biggest a**hole I’ve ever worked with in Hollywood? Chapter 23 lists it all out! Do you wanna know why I have a ‘no a**holes’ policy now with people I work with?
‘I wrote about an a**hole in my book. Now, said a****** is trying to threaten me. He’s hired a crisis PR manager and lawyers.
