Australian actress Rebel Wilson has taken to social media to provide an update after alleging that her former co-star, Sacha Baron Cohen, is attempting to prevent the release of her upcoming memoir, Rebel Rising. On Tuesday, Wilson expressed her gratitude to those who have shown their support and shared their stories about the comedian.

In an Instagram Stories post, the 44-year-old thanked everyone who had sent messages of encouragement and shared their experiences with "this a--hole," referring to Cohen. Wilson assured her followers that she will not be bullied or threatened by his actions and emphasized her commitment to ensuring that her book sees the light of day.

The controversy began when Wilson claimed over the weekend that one of her former co-stars, who she described as a "massive a--hole," was going to great lengths, including hiring crisis PR managers and lawyers, to stop the release of her memoir. She insinuated that this individual had even gone as far as to threaten her.

Wilson's book, Rebel Rising, is set to offer insights into her encounters with this "a--hole" during her career, with plans to name names. Despite the alleged attempts to suppress her story, she confidently stated that her book will be released, and the truth will be revealed to the public.

Sacha Baron Cohen's team has since denied Wilson's claims, stating that they are "demonstrably false." However, Wilson's assertions follow previous remarks she made about her filming experience with Cohen in 2014. It was reported that she had disclosed how he would allegedly ask her to go naked for a scene on a daily basis. Wilson even mentioned threatening to inform their shared American agent about the harassment, ultimately reaching a compromise where she slapped Cohen's character on the butt instead.

Rebel Rising is scheduled to hit bookshelves on April 2. TooFab has reached out to Cohen's representative for comment regarding the recent allegations made by Wilson but has not received a response at the time of writing.

Fans eagerly await the release of Rebel Rising, eager to discover the full story behind Wilson's encounters with the "a--hole" she has bravely exposed in her memoir. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this dispute between the two Hollywood figures will progress.
