Sacha Baron Cohen is clapping back at Rebel Wilson after the actress claimed the Borat star tried to stop the release of her upcoming memoir, Rebel Rising, because of a chapter criticising him

As with all bombshell memoirs trailed before their release, there are likely more revelations to come – but who is in Cohen’s corner as the drama unfolds?

Sacha Baron Cohen is clapping back at Rebel Wilson after the Australian actress claimed the Borat star tried to stop the release of her upcoming memoir, Rebel Rising, per CNN. The book is set for release on April 2.

“I will not be bullied or silenced with high priced lawyer or PR crisis managers,” Wilson said on her Instagram stories on Monday. “The ‘a******’ that I am talking about in one chapter of my book is Sacha Baron Cohen.”

Wilson previously made headlines when she wrote the following on social media, without naming Cohen: “He’s trying to stop press coming out about my new book. But the book will come out and you will all know the truth.”

The former co-stars previously starred in The Brothers Grimsby together in 2016, but it’s unclear exactly what the chapter will be about.

In response to the public statements, a rep for Cohen told CNN: “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.”

According to a 2016 interview with Marie Claire UK, Wilson spoke up about how she was asked to film a “full-frontal scene” for the film which she declined. “They got in another girl – this larger burlesque dancer from South Africa – to be a nude double. And they got her to do all this stuff. Sacha would go, “See, she looks good.” I’m like, I’m not doing it. I don’t care what you say.’ Though she did reveal she could be persuaded for a more serious movie,” she explained.
