In a surprising revelation, Rebel Wilson has named Sacha Baron Cohen as the Hollywood figure who has been trying to prevent the release of her memoir, "Rebel Rising." The Australian comedian and actress made the disclosure in an Instagram story on Monday, stating that she will not be silenced despite any legal or PR intimidation.

This controversy began in March when Wilson referred to an unnamed "massive a**hole" she had encountered in the industry. She had vowed to dedicate a chapter in her book to expose this individual's behavior, leading to threats against her. Wilson's latest Instagram post confirmed that she was indeed referring to Sacha Baron Cohen, known for his roles in movies like "Borat" and "The Brothers Grimsby."

It is worth noting that Wilson and Baron Cohen had previously worked together on the set of "The Brothers Grimsby" in 2016. Variety reports that in a 2014 radio show, Wilson had disclosed that Baron Cohen had pressured her to perform nude scenes, claiming it would bring hilarity to the film. However, she refused his request.

The crux of Wilson's accusation lies in an incident that occurred during the filming of "The Brothers Grimsby." She claims that Baron Cohen deviated from the script and proposed a scene involving inappropriate behavior. Wilson alleges that he suggested she stick her finger up his butt while he dropped his pants, deeming it a "funny bit."

In response to these allegations, a spokesperson for Sacha Baron Cohen has vehemently denied Wilson's claims. The spokesperson asserts that there is substantial evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts, which directly contradict Wilson's version of events.

Although this dispute puts the release of Wilson's memoir at risk, she remains steadfast in her resolve to share her truth. She has made it clear that she will not succumb to legal pressure or attempts at silencing her story. The outcome of this clash between Rebel Wilson and Sacha Baron Cohen is yet to be seen.
