Rebel Wilson has come forward with shocking allegations against fellow actor Sacha Baron Cohen, accusing him of pressuring her to strip naked for a scene in the movie Spy by Mistake in 2016. Wilson revealed in her upcoming memoir, Rebel Rising, that she will dedicate a chapter to the disturbing experience she faced while working with Cohen.
Initially, Wilson did not name the actor responsible for the uncomfortable incident, referring to him as a “huge idiot” in her book. However, after facing threats of legal action to prevent the publication of her memoir, Wilson decided to publicly identify Sacha Baron Cohen as the individual in question.
In response, Cohen denied the allegations through a spokesperson, stating that they are false and providing evidence to support his claim. Wilson had previously hinted at the pressure she faced to strip naked on set, leading to the use of a body double for the scene.
This is not the first time Wilson has spoken out about uncomfortable experiences in Hollywood. In a previous interview, she alluded to another incident involving a different individual who had faced multiple allegations of misconduct. Wilson’s upcoming memoir is set to shed light on her journey through Hollywood and the challenges she has faced along the way.
Rebel Rising is scheduled to be released on April 2, with Wilson delving into her personal experiences and speaking out against the mistreatment she has endured in the entertainment industry.
