Following his statement, Sacha spoke to TMZ through representatives and said, “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive and detailed evidence…

‘(With) contemporary documents, film footage and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby.’

As well as her shocking comments about the “disgusting” Grimsby sex scene, in an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly at the time, the Pitch Perfect star also slammed her character Dawn wearing a burqa in one scene.

She insisted at the time that all the scenes were in the name of comedy: ‘Obviously, I don’t mean to offend Muslims. I asked my Muslim friend, “Do you think it’s okay to tell the joke we’re telling?” And she said she did.’

He added: “But she’s pretty liberal and lives in New York, so who knows?” But it’s a joke and I don’t want to offend.”

Rebel’s post came just two days after the Pitch Perfect star alleged that a celebrity she once worked with was threatening her over the publication of the memoir.

She detailed: ‘I wrote about a jerk in my book. Now, he said a ****** is trying to threaten me. He has hired a crisis public relations manager and lawyers. He’s trying to stop the press from talking about my book. But the book will come out and you will all know.’

In an Instagram video shared on March 15, Wilson revealed that she has dedicated a chapter of her book to the ‘huge jerk’ she worked with in Hollywood.

The Pitch Perfect star also claimed she would eventually name the male colleague whose alleged behavior led her to adopt a “no idiots policy” on set.

She wrote: “When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, ‘Yeah, I have a no-assholes policy, which means I don’t work with assholes.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I mean, that sounds sensible and logical.’ “.

“But then I really understood what they meant by that, the older people in the industry. Because I worked with a huge asshole and, yeah, now I definitely have a no-asshole policy.

“Chapter one said asshole; it’s chapter 23, that guy was a huge asshole.”

And he added: ‘Do you want to know who is the biggest idiot I’ve ever worked with in Hollywood? Chapter 23 lists it all! Do you want to know why I now have a “no assholes” policy with the people I work with?

‘I wrote about an asshole in my book. Now, he said a ****** is trying to threaten me. He has hired a crisis public relations manager and lawyers.

‘Well, it’s all in the book: REBEL RISING available for pre-order now (available April 2, link in bio)… Oh, and YES, I name the sucker!’
