Rebel Wilson reveals in her bombshell new memoir how her experience with Sacha Baron Cohen led to an eating disorder.
The Australian actress, 44, made the claims about her experience on the set of 2016 comedy The Brothers Grimsby calling the comedian an ‘a**hole’ in her new book.
In a memoir passage obtained by People Magazine, she shockingly alleged that Sacha requested she ‘stick her finger up his a**’ because he thought it would make a funny scene in the film and claimed ‘it felt like [he] had sexually harassed me’.
How Rebel Wilson Suffered Eating Disorder
Rebel also claimed the alleged inappropriate experience with the actor led to an eating disorder as she detailed the ‘disrespect’ she felt.
She alleged that Sacha would ask her to strip off for scenes despite her ‘no nudity’ rule, in a string of claims which Sacha has strenuously denied and says are contradicted by evidence.
The star says: ‘I felt completed disrespected, which led to me treating myself with even more disrespect by eating in an extremely unhealthy way’.
In her book, which has been delayed indefinitely, she wrote: ‘It felt like every time I’d speak to SBC, he’d mention that he wanted me to go naked in 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 shooting in Cape Town, South Africa.
Rebel said: ‘OK, well, we’re gonna film this extra scene,’ SBC says. ‘Then he pulls his pants down’, SBC says very matter-of-factly: ‘OK, now I want you to stick your finger up my a**.’ And I’m like, ‘What?? … No!!”

‘I Slapped Him on the Ass’
Rebel claimed she was shocked and wanted to get out of it, adding: ‘I was now scared. I wanted to get out of there, so I finally compromised: I slapped him on the ass and improvised a few lines as the character.’
Why She Agreed to a Sex Scene With Him
The Bridesmaids actress also claimed she only agreed to a sex scene with Sacha after several rewrites and recalled allegedly telling the producers that she wouldn’t be promoting the film ahead of its release.
However, newly emerged footage from the sex scene in the 2016 film seems to show that the action was part of the script and the actress was on board with the scene.
