British publisher redacts Sacha Baron Cohen portion from actress Rebel Wilson’s memoir

LONDON – The British publisher of Australian actress Rebel Wilson’s memoir has redacted a portion of the book that details allegations of inappropriate behaviour by English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.

But what drew particular attention was a chapter detailing Wilson’s encounters with Baron Cohen on the set of the movie The Brothers Grimsby , in which she describes being asked by the actor to appear nude in the film and perform sexual acts for a scene. A representative for Baron Cohen has denied Wilson’s account.

But HarperCollins, Wilson’s publisher in Britain, has redacted passages from a page of the memoir, images released by Getty showed. A spokesperson for HarperCollins confirmed the redaction in a statement to British newspaper The Guardian. In an interview with The New York Times in April, Wilson responded, saying, “I’m sure they’re never going to release the iPhone footage of him asking me to do it, and me saying, ‘No, why are you doing this? Why are you asking me to do this? Where’s the director?’ Of course, they are not going to release that footage.”
