Another chapter of Rebel Rising is entitled Sacha Baron Cohen and Other A–holes. The actress planned to publish allegations about Baron Cohen’s behaviour on the set of their film The Brothers Grimsby.

Wilson begins to describe a scene being shot at a football stadium in Cape Town. “What followed was the worst experience of my professional life.

In the memoir, Wilson, 44, chronicles her career, weight issues and sexuality.

After starting out in Australia, she moved to Hollywood in 2010 and made her breakthrough with a supporting role in the hit comedy Bridesmaids. Her other credits include Pitch Perfect, Jojo Rabbit and the Cats movie.

In 2017, she was awarded a record-breaking $4.5 million in Australia’s largest defamation payout, arguing that a series of magazine articles published by Bauer Media had wrongly portrayed her as a serial liar. However, a Court of Appeal ruling saw her defamation payout reduced to $600,000.
