The Pitch Perfect star made shocking claims about her experience with ‘douchebag’ comedian Sacha in her new memoir, Rebel Rising.
Rebel played Sacha’s on-screen girlfriend in the 2016 comedy The Brothers Grimsby and made a series of accusations about her uncomfortable experience during filming.
He alleged that on the set of the Louis Leterrier-directed film, Sacha asked him to strip for scenes despite his “no nudity” rule, in a series of claims that Sacha has strenuously denied and, he says, contradict each other. with the evidence.
In a passage of memoirs obtained by People Magazineshockingly alleged that Sacha asked him to “stick his finger up her ass” because he thought it would be a funny scene in the movie and claimed that he “felt like (he) had sexually harassed me.”
She alleged that she felt “completely disrespected, which led to me treating myself with even more disrespect by eating in an extremely unhealthy way.”
Rebel played Sacha’s on-screen girlfriend in the 2016 comedy The Brothers Grimsby and made a series of accusations about her uncomfortable experience during filming.
Rebel claimed that during filming, Sacha repeatedly “mentioned that he wanted me to be naked in a future scene”, which she claimed was “in no way essential” to the film’s plot.
In her book, which was published in the US on Tuesday (although its Australian release has been delayed indefinitely), she wrote: “I felt like every time I spoke to SBC, he mentioned that he wanted it to be nude.” a future scene. I was like, “Ha, I don’t do nudity, Sacha.”
Rebel claimed that she was allegedly summoned by a product assistant for an additional scene while filming in Cape Town, South Africa.
She said, “Okay, let’s film this extra scene,” SBC says. “Then he pulls down his pants,” SBC says matter-of-factly, “Okay, now I want you to stick your finger in my ass.” And I say, ‘What?’ … No!!”’
Rebel claimed she was in shock and wanted to get out of there, adding: “Now I was scared.” She wanted to get out of there, so I finally compromised: I slapped her on the butt and improvised some lines as the character.’
She alleged that on set, Sacha would ask her to strip for scenes despite his “no nudity” rule, in a series of claims that Sacha has denied and are, he says, contradicted by the evidence.
The Bridesmaids actress also claimed that she only agreed to a sex scene with Sacha after several rewrites and recalled telling producers that she would not promote the film before its release.
However, newly surfaced footage of the sex scene in the 2016 film appears to show that the action was part of the script and that the actress was okay with the scene.
Several never-before-seen clips from the film that didn’t make it into the final cut were obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com and show the characters Rebel and Sarah using a cell phone to film themselves getting intimate.
In the clips, Rebel can be heard discussing the scene on camera, but out of character, telling Sacha, “I’ll slap you (on the butt) and do a… going down the crack,” to to which he responds, “It’s almost like you’re going to stick your fingers inside,” prompting him to respond, “yes.”
According to people close to Sacha, director Louis Leterrier had to discuss any nudity or sex scenes with Rebel before filming it. They say she accepted the scene.
He also alleged that Sacha asked him to “stick his finger up her ass” because he thought it would be a funny scene in the movie and claimed that he “felt like (he) had sexually harassed me.”
They also say the cell phone was used because the film called for Rebel and Sacha’s characters, Dawn and Nobby, to use an iPhone to film themselves having sex.
However, in a statement given to DailyMail.com, Rebel doubled down on her book’s description of Sacha as a ‘jerk’.
“It’s an idiotic move to post footage of part of that disgusting episode and leave out everything that preceded it, including my horrified refusal to stick my finger up SBC’s ass,” he said.
“This couldn’t have been because of the movie, since director Louis Leterrier wasn’t even present,” he said.
‘What this edited video shows is what I had to do to get out of the room, as written in Rebel Rising. Posting unauthorized and misleading behind-the-scenes videos without my approval is SBC’s latest way to intimidate and deceive me.
The sale of Rebel Wilson’s tell-all memoir, Rebel Rising, in Australia has been delayed indefinitely after it went on sale on Wednesday.
Sacha has strenuously denied mistreating Rebel or pressuring her to get naked in the film.
A spokesperson for Sacha said: “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these claims are directly contradicted by extensive and detailed evidence, including contemporary documents, film footage and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby. ‘
Sacha’s team also provided nine anonymous statements from crew members that supported the claim that the scene was in the script.
Daily Mail Australia contacted Sacha’s representatives for further comment at the time.
