Rebel Wilson’s memoir, “Rebel Rising,” is making waves across the pond in the UK, but it’s not all rainbows and unicorns. Oh no, there’s a sprinkle of drama, a dash of controversy, and a whole lot of redaction!
So, picture this: Rebel, the queen of sass from “Pitch Perfect,” decided to spill the tea in her memoir. Among the tales of her epic adventures, she included a juicy bit about none other than the man of many faces, Sacha Baron Cohen. But hold your horses! It seems Rebel wasn’t exactly singing Sacha’s praises. Nope, she reportedly labeled him a “massive a-shole.” Ouch! Cue the dramatic music and the gasps from the audience.
Before the ink could even dry on the pages, Sacha allegedly swooped in like a knight in shining armor, brandishing his legal sword and shield. He wasn’t about to let Rebel’s words run amok. According to reports, he was throwing around threats faster than you can say “Borat.”
Now, here’s where it gets spicy. Rebel’s publisher, Harper Collins, had a tough decision to make. Do they risk the wrath of Sacha’s legal eagles, or do they hit the delete button like it’s going out of style? Well, they opted for the latter. Certain passages were redacted faster than you can say “censored.”
But hold your horses! Sacha’s team wasn’t about to let this slide. They came out swinging, accusing Rebel of spinning tall tales faster than a tornado in Kansas. According to them, Harper Collins didn’t fact-check before hitting the print button. Burn!
In the end, it’s a victory for Sacha, a lesson learned for Rebel, and a wild ride for everyone involved. So, grab a copy of “Rebel Rising” if you want the tea, but just remember, sometimes the juiciest bits are the ones that end up on the cutting room floor!
