Rebel Wilson is suggesting Sacha Baron Cohen leaked footage from their film collectively that appears to contradict her declare in opposition to him … and in addition saying it is method out of context.
The actress is referring to a video printed Friday by Daily Mail — which exhibits behind-the-scenes footage of Insurgent and Sacha filming for 2016’s “The Brothers Grimsby” … and which additionally seems to indicate Insurgent seemingly being onboard with the entire finger-in-butt factor.
Bear in mind … Insurgent alleged that Sacha had sprung that scene on her out of nowhere whereas they had been filming, however Sacha has mentioned the other — claiming she knew what was up.
Welp, at the least based mostly on this clip that DM has obtained — which purports to indicate outtake footage that by no means made it into the movie — it definitely does appear to again up his account … as you may see Insurgent going by means of the choreography of the scene with Sacha, and she or he mentions the finger and bum half. On its face, she additionally does not seem distressed.
Regardless of this … Insurgent is popping out swinging, and strongly indicating these clips are a gross mischaracterization of what actually occurred — at the least from her POV.
She says, “As I write in my book, SBC is an a**hole. It is an a**hole move to release footage of one part of that disgusting episode while leaving out everything that preceded it including my horrified refusal to stick my finger up SBC’s butt.”
RW provides, “This could not have possibly been for the film as the director Louis Leterrier was not even present. What this edited video shows is what I had to do in order to get out of the room, as written in ‘Rebel Rising.’ Releasing unauthorized and misleading behind the scenes video without my approval is SBC’s latest way of bullying and gaslighting me. The outpouring of messages from so many who have also been mistreated by SBC show I’m not alone.”
As we reported … Insurgent has dedicated an entire chapter to Sacha in her new e book, which is popping out very quickly. Sacha has beforehand denied her claims calling them “demonstrably false.” We have reached out to his crew once more together with her newest declare — however to this point, no phrase again.
