Rebel Wilson is suggesting Sacha Baron Cohen leaked movie footage of them together that seems to contradict her claim against him… and also saying it’s out of context.
The actress is referring to a video published Friday by Daily Mail – which shows behind-the-scenes footage from Rebel and Sacha’s filming of 2016’s “The Brothers Grimsby”… and which also appears to show Rebel apparently being on board with the whole finger-in-the-ass thing.
Remember… Rebel claimed that Sacha had that scene came up in her out of the blue while they were filming, but Sacha said otherwise – claiming he knew what was going on.
Well, at least based on this clip DM obtained – which purports to show exterior footage that never made it into the film – it certainly seems to support his account… as you can see Rebel going through the choreography of the scene with Sacha, and she mentions the finger and ass. Apparently, she doesn’t seem distressed either.
Regardless… Rebel is coming out swinging, and strongly indicating that these clips are a gross mischaracterization of what really happened – at least from her point of view.
She says: “It’s stupid to release footage of part of that disgusting episode while leaving out everything that preceded it, including my horrified refusal to stick my finger up SBC’s ass.”
RW adds: “This couldn’t have been for the film, as director Louis Leterrier wasn’t even present. What this edited video shows is what I had to do to get out of the room, as written in ‘Rebel Rising’. ‘ Releasing unauthorized and misleading behind-the-scenes videos without my approval is the SBC’s latest way of intimidating and offending me.”
As we reported… Rebelde has dedicated an entire chapter to Sacha in his new book, which will be released soon. Sacha has already denied her allegations, calling them “demonstrably false”. We reached out to his team again with his latest complaint – but so far, no response.
