ACTRESS Rebel Wilson has leaked the name of an A-list actor who she claimed threatened her tell-all book.
Ahead of the release of her memoir, the Rebel Rising author dished a naughty tidbit in a series of deleted Instagram Stories.
Over the weekend, Rebel, 44, uploaded an image of a purple pen and a stack of paper.
“I wrote about an a**hole in my book. Now said a**hole is trying to threaten me,” the explicit text started.
“He’s hired a crisis PR [public relations] manager and lawyers.”
“He is trying to stop the book from coming out,” the caption continued.

“But the book will come out, and you will know the truth.”
“The “a**hole that I am talking about in one chapter of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen,” the text concluded.
Sacha, 52, is known for her eccentric and edgy characters, Ali G, Borat Sagdiyev, and Brüno Gehard.
In response, rep for the The Trial of the Chicago 7 star released a statement to TMZ.

“While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence,” the statement read.
“Including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during, and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby.”
The two previously co-starred in the 2016 spy/comedy, The Brothers Grimsby.
In the plot, the dimwitted Nobby (Sacha) lives in an English fishing town with her loving girlfriend (Rebel) and their nine children.
After searching for her long-lost brother, Nobby discovers Sebastian (Mark Strong) is a MI6 agent, who has stumbled upon a sinister threat.
‘YOU ARE HARASSING ME’
This is not the only time Rebel has blasted Sacha.
In 2014, the Pitch Perfect actress slammed the Madagascar star in an interview with Kylie and Jackie O, via Page Six.
“Sacha and I have the same agent in America, and I’m like, ‘Sacha, I’m going to call our agent, Sharon, and tell her how much you are harassing me,'” Rebel said during the radio show.

“Every single day he’s like, ‘Rebel, can you just go naked in this scene?’” she claimed.
” And I’m like, ‘No!’”
‘A BIT SCARY’
In October 2023, Rebel teased her memoir would reveal her personal secrets.
“So what I started doing is I just sat there by myself as if I’m just telling the story to a friend,” Rebel told People.
These demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s rep
“I just kind of found my writing style, as if I’m sitting opposite my friend, telling you all my life’s deepest secrets, which is a bit scary.”
“There’s a lot of stories and personal stuff that I’ve never ever talked about,” she went on.

“The book is this forum because it’s me just sitting down telling my own story, and that was the right forum for some of these more emotional things.”
Rebel Rising will hit bookshelves on April 2.
