Sacha Baron Cohen is denying Insurgent Wilson’s allegations after she claimed on social media that the “Borat” star is trying to stop her from publishing her memoir after she said it contains a chapter that exposes her behavior. Wilson and Baron Cohen played husband and wife in the 2016 action comedy “The Brothers Grimsby,” on the set of which Wilson alleged Baron Cohen pressured her to appear nude, among other things.
“While we respect the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by detailed detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, footage and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of ‘The Brothers Grimsby,’” it said Baron Cohen in a press release through a spokesperson.
On social media, Wilson had previously alluded to a “big gap**” she had previously worked with, adding that the unnamed star had hired a disastrous PR team and started sending her threats. In a new Instagram update on March 25, she wrote, “I can’t be bullied or silenced by expensive lawyers or PR managers. The ‘gap’ I’m talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my e-book is Sacha Baron Cohen.
In older posts, Wilson alleged that Baron Cohen is “trying to stop the press from releasing my new book. But the book WILL be released and you will all know the truth.” On March 15, Wilson wrote on Instagram: “As soon as I got to Hollywood, people were like, yeah, ‘I ain’t got no coverage at all, meaning like, yeah, I don’t work with a**holes.’ I was like, ‘Oh yeah. I mean, that seems wise or logical. But then it really hit me because I worked with a big gap** and yes, now I definitely have a no-hole policy.
Speaking on a radio show in 2014, Wilson said Baron Cohen pressured her to “get naked” on “The Brothers Grimsby,” and she threatened to name the agent they share and say he was “harassing” her.
“On a daily basis he’s like, ‘Just get naked, it’ll be funny. Keep in mind in ‘Borat’ since I did that nude scene? It was hilarious,’” Wilson said. “On the last day, I believed that I had clearly received the pitch, and he was given a stunt double to do the nude scene.”
Wilson also said that while filming the final scene of “The Brothers Grimsby,” Baron Cohen allegedly asked her to “stick her finger up my ass.” When Wilson realized she wasn’t in the script, she claimed he said, “Look, I’m going to pull down my pants, just stick your finger up my ass, it’s going to be really funny.”
