Sacha Baron Cohen fired back at former co-star Rebel Wilson after she made a bold claim against him and called him an “a–hole.”
“I will not be bullied or silenced with high priced lawyer or PR crisis managers. The ‘a–hole’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is Sacha Baron Cohen,” Rebel wrote on her Instagram Stories on Monday.

The Australian actress claimed in the past that her co-star Sacha Baron Cohen pressured her to “go naked” for the filming of a movie and to “stick [her] finger up [his] butt”

Last week, Rebel posted a video on Instagram about working with a “massive a–hole” but did not reveal the co-star’s name at the time. She added that an entire chapter of her book was dedicated to the actor she worked with.
“When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, ‘Yeah, I have a no a**hole policy. [It] means, like, yeah, I don’t work with a–holes.’ I was like, ‘Oh yeah. I mean, that sounds sensible or logical,'” the actress said in the video shared on March 15.
“But then it really sunk in because I worked with a massive asshole, and, yeah, now I definitely have a no a–holes policy,” she added.

“Every day he’s like, ‘Just go naked, it will be funny. Remember in ‘Borat’ when I did that naked scene? It was hilarious,’” Rebelsaidat the time. “On the last day, I thought I’d obviously won the argument, and he got a body double to do the naked scene.”
Rebel claimed Sacha even asked her to “stick [her] finger up [his] butt” for the film’s final scene, prompting the actress to point out that this was not part of the script.
The Dictator actor then said, “Look, I’ll just pull down my pants, you just stick your finger up my butt, it’ll be a really funny bit,” according to Rebel’s claim.Linas Simonaitis
