Not long after the never before seen footage from The Brothers Grimsby that shows in the infamous scene of Sacha Baron Cohen allegedly telling her to “stick her finger up” his butt, Rebel Wilson slams her former co-star for supposedly sending the video out.
The video first surfaced on Friday, March 29, on the Daily Mail. It shows Wilson and Baron Cohen’s characters filming themselves getting intimate.
As the two continue the scene, Rebel’s character slaps the butt of Baron Cohen’s character. She then attempts to put a finger between his cheeks.
However, his character rejects the move. “Not my bumhole, Dawny,” Baron Cohen was heard declaring. “After that curry last night, it’s like a loaded gun.”
Rebel Wilson’s character responds to the remark with, “Yeah.”
Wilson previously claimed that Baron Cohen urged her to “stick her finger up” his butt during the scene. She also said that his friends were offset laughing at the remark.
Producers told the Daily Mail that Rebel Wilson was aware of the intimate scene. She was also “fully engaged… confidently kissing” Baron Cohen’s character.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, Rebel Wilson didn’t hold back as she unleashed about Baron Cohen. “It is an a—hole move to release footage of one part of that disgusting episode,” she accused her co-star. “While leaving out everything that preceded it, including my horrified refusal to stick my finger up SBC’s butt.”
Wilson continued by stating, “This could not have possibly been the film as the director was not even present. What this edited video shows is what I had ot do in order to get out of the room, as written in Rebel Rising.”
Rebel Wilson added that releasing unauthorized and misleading behind-the-scenes video without her approval is Baron Cohen’s latest way of “bullying and gaslighting” her.
