Rebel Wilson reveals how Sacha Baron Cohen humiliated her on set

Rebel Wilson has revealed a shocking experience of on-set humiliation by her “Grimsby” co-star Sacha Baron Cohen in an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, “Rebel Rising.”
In her memoir, Wilson, known for her role in “Pitch Perfect,” describes feeling “scared” of Cohen’s repeated requests for her to do nude scenes in the movie. She recalls instances where Cohen would mention wanting her to go naked in future scenes, to which Wilson firmly stated her boundaries, saying, “Ha, I don’t do nudity, Sacha.”
Wilson goes on to detail an incident where Cohen, best known for his role in “Borat,” allegedly pulled down his pants on set and asked her to “stick your finger up my ass.” Shocked and uncomfortable, Wilson refused and compromised by slapping Cohen’s backside and improvising lines to quickly finish the scene.
Despite her discomfort, Wilson found herself having to film intimate scenes with Cohen, including simulating sex and repeated kissing scenes. She later expressed her refusal to do any promotional work for the film, citing the uncomfortable experiences on set.
Wilson emphasizes that she is not seeking to cancel anyone by sharing her story but rather hopes that speaking out will lead to fewer instances of such behavior towards women in the industry. In a recent Instagram post, Wilson named Cohen as the “massive a–hole” featured in her book and revealed that he had hired crisis PR managers and lawyers to prevent the truth from coming out.
Responding to the allegations, Cohen’s representative denied any wrongdoing, stating that Wilson was treated with respect and empowerment on set. The representative provided statements from anonymous sources associated with the film, contradicting Wilson’s claims and asserting that she was welcomed as a collaborator in all creative aspects.
Despite the backlash, Wilson stands by her allegations and refuses to be threatened, reaffirming her stance on social media. The memoir, “Rebel Rising,” is set to hit shelves on April 2, where readers can delve deeper into Wilson’s experiences and reflections on the incident.
Wilson’s courage in speaking out about her experiences sheds light on the importance of creating a safe and respectful working environment in the entertainment industry. By sharing her story, she hopes to inspire other women to speak up against mistreatment and harassment, fostering a more inclusive and supportive industry for all.
As the release of “Rebel Rising” approaches, the public eagerly anticipates the full account of Wilson’s journey and the lessons learned from her encounter with Cohen, sparking conversations about accountability and boundaries in the world of entertainment.

What Rita Wilson told Tom Hanks after she was diagnosed with breast cancer

Rita Wilson told Tom Hanks after her breast cancer diagnosis in 2015 that if she were to die, she wanted him to be “sad for a very long time.”
The actress recalled the couple’s heartfelt conversation about her health battle while speaking with Demi Moore at the Sound of a Woman: Rita Wilson in Conversation event in New York City on Tuesday.
“I said to Tom, I’m like, ‘Okay, if, if something happens and I go first, I just have two requests. And one is that you should be sad for a very, very long time,’” Wilson, 69, explained, per People.
Her second request for Hanks, 69, was to “throw me a party.”
“I want it to be a celebration of life,” Wilson remembered telling Hanks. “I want it to be about people telling stories and joy and, remembering me in that way.”
“And I think people, a lot of people want that, you know?” she added. “I think there’s room for that.”
Wilson, who has been married to Hanks since 1988, underwent a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery after doctors found “invasive” cancer.
The “Sleepless in Seattle” star told Moore that her 2019 song “Throw Me a Party” was inspired by her and Hank’s conversation after her diagnosis.
“The song … it came out of this, this story I’ve told before, but if you haven’t heard it, it was, when you get the diagnosis and you’re like, ‘I don’t know, I don’t know what’s gonna happen, but I hope I’m still here, you know, in a few years,’” Wilson told the crowd.
After reflecting on her cancer battle, Wilson happily told the crowd, “I’m here. Yay!”
In March 2025, Wilson marked a decade since she was cancer-free with a heartfelt Instagram post.
“10 years. And I am so deeply grateful,” Wilson told her followers.
She continued, “The gratitude is overwhelming. Didn’t always feel this way. And you know that, anybody who’s going through [it, or] who’s survived knows that it’s an up and down, like, hamster wheel. But then you get to this point.”
Wilson said that while she doesn’t “talk about it much,” she posted about her cancer-free anniversary because “it’s important to celebrate good news.”
“I am thinking of anybody out there who might be going through some difficulties,” she added. “You’re in my thoughts and prayers.”

King Charles’ personal gift to President Trump carries deep historical message

King Charles’ gift to President Donald Trump holds a deeply historical significance regarding relations between the US and the British monarchy.
The king, 77, gave Trump a framed premium copy of the 1879 design plans for the Resolute Desk during their gift exchange on Tuesday as part of the royals’ state visit, reports People.
The desk — which sits in the Oval Office — signifies the uniting ties between the United Kingdom and the United States as it was originally a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880.
It’s made from the wood of the British exploration ship the H.M.S. Resolute, which was found by American whalers after it was abandoned in 1854, according to the White House Historical Association.
The boat was eventually repaired and shipped back to Queen Victoria in 1856 as a showing of goodwill. The desk was made later after the ship was decommissioned in 1879 following years of service in the Royal Navy.
Its original design plans are kept by the National Maritime Museum in London.
In return, President Trump gave Charles a premium copy of a historical record from John Adams to John Jay in 1785. In the letter, Adams recounts his experience having King George III accept him as the first US ambassador to Great Britain.
The royal couple touched down in the US on Monday for their four-day visit in celebration of the nation’s 250th birthday.
The trip marks their first visit since Charles became king upon his mother’s death at 96 in September 2022.
On the first stop of their itinerary, Charles and Camilla, 78, met with the president and first lady Melania in DC where they sat for a private tea.
On Tuesday, Charles addressed congress — marking the second time a British monarch has spoken in front of the governing body since his mother in 1991.
They later made their way to the White House for the state dinner honoring King Charles hosted by Trump and his wife.
After finishing their stay in Washington, Charles and Camilla are expected to travel to New York City for several events.
The royal couple will reportedly honor the 2,977 victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks by meeting with first responders and some of the victims’ families ahead of the tragedy’s upcoming 25th anniversary.
Their state visit will come to a close in Virginia on Thursday, where they will attend a block party in honor of America’s 250th birthday.
At some point, Charles is expected to visit a national park by himself and Camilla will likely attend an event spotlighting horse racing in the US.

Taylor Swift breaks cover for NYC dinner outing with dad Scott ahead of Travis Kelce wedding

Taylor Swift broke cover to have an outing with her dad, Scott Swift, and her best friend, Ashley Avignone, ahead of the singer’s nuptials to Travis Kelce.
According to photos obtained by Page Six, the “Bad Blood” singer, Scott and the stylist arrived at the ultra-exclusive private members’ club San Vicente West Village in New York City Monday.
Upon arrival, Taylor got out of the vehicle first, then waited for her father and Avignone to exit the car before they all headed up the stairs into the swanky venue.
The Grammy winner wore a breezy blue-and-white striped sundress created by Staud ($325), brown Christian Louboutin sandals ($1,195), and a rare mini Dior handbag that retails for nearly $10,000.
Monday’s outing was the first time the “Cruel Summer” songstress had been fully seen since the end of March.
At the time, she nearly ran into her ex John Mayer at Paul McCartney’s concert in Hollywood, California.
In the pictures, obtained by Page Six, Taylor wore a black dress and choker while chatting with fellow singer Olivia Rodrigo.
When the pop star and her fiancé, Kelce, had a date night out to NYC hotspot Casa Cipriani on April 17, they were both concealed by black umbrellas.
Taylor, 36, also hid behind black umbrellas when she visited the Kansas City Chiefs star, also 36, at the Plaza Hotel in NYC ahead of Kelce’s Tommy Hilfiger photoshoot.
Earlier this month, Page Six exclusively reported that the couple — who went public in 2023 — are slated to tie the knot in the Big Apple on July 3.
While the “Blank Space” singer and the tight end had been planning an intimate Rhode Island wedding in June, Page Six reported in November 2025 that they were considering scrapping the idea to go “all out” with more guests.
Several stars are rumored to be attending the star-studded wedding, including Zoë Kravitz.
