“People can wait until they are ready or until they seem a little more mature,” Wilson said. “And I believe this can be an optimistic message. Obviously, you don’t need to attend until you’re in your early thirties like me, but you shouldn’t feel tense as a teenager.
She admitted that she would “avoid” talking about her virginity because she was “ashamed” of debating the subject, revealing that she even lied to her friend and said that she had lost her virginity at age 20.
“There was a dark moment, I think I said to my best friend, ‘Oh yeah, I only did this to get it over with when I was 23,’” Wilson told People. “Just to basically avoid the questions.”
“Normally, I would just leave the room during the conversation,” she recalls. “And then people said, ‘Oh, at 24, it’s so late.’ And so I’m sitting here thinking, ‘Oh my God, my number is 35. What the hell? I’m going to look like the biggest loser.’”
Wanting again, the Good bid star said that although she “disappeared late,” she is grateful that everything happened when it did.
“It’s absolutely unbelievable, if I had been born 20 years later, I probably would have explored my sexuality more,” she said, noting that her experience would have been “very different.”
“I just knew I was attracted to men, and that was the traditional thing,” Wilson added.

“And then when I started to open up, probably even more, after my father died and realized, oh, even though I could see marriage as a terrible thing and a waste of time, I started to open up as much as that,” she said. “And just years later, meeting women and having feelings for a woman, and that, I think is a sign of where society was at.”

“I can’t be bullied or silenced by expensive lawyers or PR crisis managers,” Wilson wrote on his Instagram Stories. “The ‘hole’ I’m talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my books is: Sacha Baron Cohen.”
The comic, best known for portraying the fictional characters Borat and Ali G, worked with Wilson on the 2016 series Grimsby film (released in the US as The Brothers Grimsby), with Wilson playing Cohen’s character’s girlfriend. (The film was filmed in 2014. Wilson was 34 at the time.)
Cohen’s workforce later responded to Wilson’s claims in a press release.
“While we admire the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by detailed and detailed evidence, including contemporary documents, footage and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby.”
As famous for The Hollywood ReporterWilson has previously made claims about her experience filming with Cohen on the film in 2014, telling the Australian Mail and Courier that “day after day” he allegedly asked her to “get naked” for a scene. She said she even threatened to tell the regular American agent “how much you might be harassing me.”
She thought she won that ongoing argument when the film used a physical stunt double for the final scene. “Then in the final scene… he said, ‘Insurgent, can you just stick your finger up my ass?’ And I said, ‘What do you mean by Sasha? That’s not in the script. “And he said, ‘Look, I’m just going to pull down my pants, you just stick your finger up my ass, it’s going to be an extremely funny part.”
In response to the newspaper, Wilson reached a compromise with Cohen’s character, slapping him on the ass as a replacement.
As proven in an excerpt from his memoir, obtained by PEOPLEWilson details relevant claims in his book, which will be released on April 2.
