Rebel Wilson reveals she would never work with Sacha Baron Cohen again… not even for a $50 MILLION payday on Watch What Happens Live

Rebel Wilson has insisted she would never work with Sacha Baron Cohen again after accusing him of sexual harassment on the set of The Brothers Grimsby.

Wilson, 44, starred alongside Cohen, 52, in the 2016 film, accusing him in her memoir Rebel Rising that he asked her to strip for scenes, even though she had a “no nudity” clause. in his contract and also made sexually explicit requests. .

Cohen responded by calling the allegations “demonstrably false claims” that were “directly contradicted by extensive and detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts.”

While promoting the book on Monday night’s episode of Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen, “How much money would it take for you to work with Sacha Baron Cohen again?”

‘There is never money. Yes. “I have a no-idiots policy with work,” Wilson insisted, as many in the audience applauded.

When Andy started throwing around dollar amounts like $20 million, $30 million, and $50 million, Wilson insisted that she still wouldn’t work with him.

Wilson had previously hinted that she would be working with a “big dick” in social media posts, which she confirmed was Cohen in late March.

He added that the aforementioned star had even hired a PR firm and was sending him threats, before revealing it was Cohen in a March 25 Instagram post.

‘I will not be intimidated or silenced by expensive lawyers or public relations crisis managers. “The ‘jerk’ I talk about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is Sacha Baron Cohen,” he said.

Before revealing her identity, she hinted that her experience with Cohen had led her to adopt a “no idiots” policy.

“When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, yeah, ‘I have a no-assholes policy, meaning, yeah, I don’t work with assholes.’ I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. I mean, that sounds sensible or logical. “But then I really understood it because I worked with a huge asshole and yeah, now I definitely have a no asshole policy,” she said.

Shortly after filming wrapped in 2014, Wilson said on a radio show that Cohen, who also co-wrote and produced the film, was constantly trying to get her to strip naked.

“Every day he says, ‘Just go naked, it’ll be fun.’ Remember in Borat when I did that nude scene? “It was very funny,” Wilson said.

She added: “On the last day I thought he had obviously won the argument and he got a stunt double to do the nude scene.”

Wilson added that during Grimsby’s final scene, Cohen asked her to “stick her finger up my butt,” although she mentioned that wasn’t in the script.

He told her: ‘Look, I’ll pull down my pants and you’ll stick your finger in my butt, it’ll be really fun.’

The Brothers Grimsby was critically panned (36% on Rotten Tomatoes) and flopped at the box office, earning $28 million worldwide on a $35 million budget.

During her appearance on WWHL, Wilson was also asked if anyone else she wrote about in the book had reached out besides Cohen.

‘Well, the book is pretty new and we kept it embargoed so people couldn’t read it. But yes, I think sometimes when you share your truth, others can feel very uncomfortable. So yeah, I’ve gotten a couple of texts and we’ll have to have some conversations when I’m not promoting the book. Yes, it’s very difficult to be so vulnerable and open,” he said.

‘As you can see. “I mostly embarrass myself with the things I write, but yeah, but sometimes when other people read about themselves, you know,” she said.
