Rebel Wilson Stands Firm: No Money Could Lure Her Back to Work with Sacha Baron Cohen

Amid revelations in her memoir, Rebel Wilson opens up about her alleged uncomfortable encounter during the filming of “The Brothers Grimsby” and addresses interactions with Russell Crowe and Adele.

In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Rebel Wilson, the star of Pitch Perfect, made it clear that there’s a line she won’t cross, and no amount of money could entice her to collaborate with Sacha Baron Cohen again. Wilson’s remarks came amidst the buzz surrounding her memoir, Rebel Rising, in which she divulges unsettling details about her experience working with Baron Cohen on The Brothers Grimsby.

During the show, hosted by Andy Cohen, Wilson played a revealing game of “Plead the Fifth.” When asked how much money it would take for her to consider working with Baron Cohen again, Wilson responded unequivocally, stating that she now has a strict policy against working with individuals she deems unpleasant. Despite Cohen’s repeated attempts to entice her with exorbitant sums, Wilson remained resolute in her decision.

In her memoir, Wilson recounts an alleged incident during the filming of The Brothers Grimsby where Baron Cohen purportedly made inappropriate demands, including asking her to perform a highly uncomfortable act. Wilson describes feeling scared and pressured to continue filming, ultimately compromising to navigate the situation.

Following the incident, Wilson sought advice from her agent and legal counsel, but felt pressured to complete the film despite her discomfort. Baron Cohen, however, has denied Wilson’s version of events, citing evidence to the contrary.

Wilson also addressed encounters with Russell Crowe and Adele, shedding light on their interactions as portrayed in her memoir. Despite alleging a tense encounter with Crowe previously, Wilson clarified that they have since joked about it, emphasizing Crowe’s friendly demeanor. Regarding Adele, Wilson speculated on possible reasons for the singer’s apparent disinterest in her, attributing it to mistaken identity at crowded events.

Throughout her appearance, Rebel Wilson stood by her convictions, offering candid insights into her experiences and maintaining her resolve in the face of uncomfortable situations.
