Sacha Baron Cohen denies Rebel Wilson’s claims of ‘asshole’ behaviour on set

Australian star names Baron Cohen as the ‘massive asshole’ referred to in her memoir, Rebel Rising, as representatives for the Borat actor reject ‘demonstrably false’ allegations

Rebel Wilson has named Sacha Baron Cohen, who she worked with on the 2016 film The Brothers Grimsby (known as Grimsby in the UK), as the “massive asshole” she refers to in her forthcoming memoir, Rebel Rising.

The Australian actor also claims that the Borat star is attempting to block publication of the book.

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.
