Hold on a minute, Rebel Wilson fans! There seems to be a bit of a kerfuffle across the pond when it comes to her tell-all memoir, “Rebel Rising.” The juicy details that spilled in the US version are being redacted for the UK release, and it all has to do with her former co-star, Sacha Baron Cohen.
Rebel Throws Shade, But Lawyers Block the Blow
In the American edition, Wilson throws some serious shade at Cohen, calling him a “massive a**hole” on the set of their movie “The Brothers Grimsby.” However, those accusations won’t be making it to British bookshelves. HarperCollins, the book’s publisher, says they’re redacting “most of one page” due to “legal reasons.”
Cohen’s Camp Calls Out “Falsehoods”
Sacha Baron Cohen’s rep isn’t holding back. They claim Wilson’s accusations are “demonstrably false” and accuse her of trying to sell books with “shameful” lies. They point out that UK law takes a stricter stance on defamation than the US, making Wilson’s claims a no-go.
Rebel Speaks Out, Thanks Supporters
Despite the redactions, Rebel seems to be taking it all in stride. She took to Instagram to thank fans who have shared their own experiences with Cohen.
So, Who Wins This Battle?
Right now, it’s unclear. Cohen’s team is celebrating a legal victory, but Rebel is still getting support from fans. One thing’s for sure: the drama surrounding “Rebel Rising” is far from over! We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for any new developments.
