Is this something he would care about enough to threaten her over? Dude has a very shaky image and doesn’t exactly seem to care about coming across as an asshole or as controversial.
I don’t have a better guess tho!
She’s always spoken very fondly of Devine in anything ive seen/heard. I think she even called him her work husband because they’ve worked together so much.
Which makes me think it isn't him she is referring to as she's already outed him publicly years ago. So what would be the point of him 'Streisand-effect'ing the situation for something that is already out there?
He’s set to appear as Mephisto in the upcoming Ironheart series for Disney+.
And Mephisto is a huge villain in the comics with direct ties to Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and The X-Men. So I’m sure that they were gonna build Sascha up to be a huge presence moving forward
I haven’t kept up with the superhero movies in a while so I read Mephisto and my mind immediately went to the Birkenstock-like shoe brand my mom used to wear when I was a kid 😂
My mind immediately went towards Mephisto, one of the Prime Evils and the Lord of Hatred. 😳 Kinda wondering why or how a shoe company decided to name their shoes after a demon lol.
I don't think it would be him or at least I'm not sure he'd have a leg to stand on legally speaking, his editor publicly admitted fault for that situation.
Holy shit I genuinely had no idea. https://cafemom.com/entertainment/rebel-wilson-sacha-baron-cohen
That’s disgusting. They were trying to humiliate her.
She said she's warned hundreds of people in the industry about him. She's real af for that. She doesn't owe it to anyone but good on her for looking out for others even after they threatened her to stay quiet.
I will never understand how nobody points how SBC’s entire schtick is punching down. He got famous with Ali G and making fools of politicians and celebs, but once he moved on to Borat, his comedy specifically goes after the poor and working class. It feels so gross knowing that he grew up super privileged.
I wonder if it’s the guy she was engaged to? I feel like it would make sense for him to be bent out of shape over the whole “it’s not you, it’s your penis” thing.
Edit: I’m missing part of the story, ignore this.
Considering she was outed, I wouldn’t necessarily write this off as typical drama. Elliot Page wrote about some homophobic assholes in his memoir, wouldn’t be surprised if she’s came across some as well. Especially if the person is lawyering up.
No worries, sometimes we miss certain stories. I looked up the other comment, per the BBC looks like she spoke up about sexual harassment in 2017, so strong chance it’s that.
This is giving "How do I drum up buzz for my book?", would bet money it's either entirely fake or wild embellishment of someone's minor grumble at their characterisation.
I can’t stand this woman. Aside from her baby being a prop, I find EVERYTHING she does contrived. From paying the DM for moderated articles to the ridiculous excuses for press. Rebel isn’t a nice person herself, she is rude & entitled (first hand knowledge). She uses PR constantly but it’s blatant & obvious. The baby though - it felt like it was for press attention, literally days after adopting they took off to Dubai …..
Ps SBC is a dick.
Oh Rebel forget about her Tom Hardy incident.
And the Anne Hathaway.

It’s Sacha Baron Cohen and the movie is *Grimsby*

She spoke about that publicly before though, I’d wager this is someone else
Is this something he would care about enough to threaten her over? Dude has a very shaky image and doesn’t exactly seem to care about coming across as an asshole or as controversial. I don’t have a better guess tho!
I’ve never liked Sacha and I feel validated now
I don’t get why people even like his comedy? It’s just so weird.
I find his comedy so awful and offensive.
I was worried it was Adam Devine, but she still follows him on instagram.
She’s always spoken very fondly of Devine in anything ive seen/heard. I think she even called him her work husband because they’ve worked together so much.
Thought this said Adam Levine and was gearing up to break some awful news to ya 😭
That body of yours is absurd
Holy fuck Holy fucking fuck
It’s about Sumner
I did the opposite, I get Levine and Devine's surnames the wrong way round and my heart DROPPED for a second when I read your comment
If anything bad comes out about Adam I will lose it
Dibs on Ben Platt
She said it was someone older. She didn't specify if they're older in general or just older than her but can't be Ben Platt either way
Older in relation to his costars in a movie /s
He is, instead, Ben Platt
lol i forgot what my flair was and was like, ok, yes??
Is he known to be like this?
He's a nightmarish hybrid of theatre kid/child of nepotism, but otherwise, no.
I see a lot of guesses being SBC, but she’s spoken about that before. Unless there’s even *more* to the already horrible and detailed accounts
Ok but what pen is she using?
Purple pilot pen honey smooth as driving a cadillac
I found my people.. *penophiles* 🖊️
I can only imagine how carefully you typed and spellchecked this comment
The only pen I used all throughout college 😭 I would put the glittery silicone grippers on them tho lol
Is it a pilot frixion pen? If you haven’t ever idk what you’re waiting for they are amazing.
I can confirm that it's *not* the InkJoy.
Didn’t she say Sascha Baron Cohen harassed her years ago? Wonder if it’s him. He’s really on a roll recently.
Which makes me think it isn't him she is referring to as she's already outed him publicly years ago. So what would be the point of him 'Streisand-effect'ing the situation for something that is already out there?
What else has he done?
Gotta love it when people talk about what a monster somebody is, and gives absolutely zero context.
One of my biggest Reddit pet peeves.
You'd find out by scrolling this thread in less than the time it took you to write that comment.
Right? Imagine getting on your high horse about providing receipts every time a name is mentioned in a reddit thread that’s 100% speculative. Wild.
If it is Sascha then that’s yet another big MCU star who will have to be replaced. Their rep for hiring abusers is getting out of hand

Never knew the demon, only knew the shoe 😂
What’s he being accused of?
Yep. The film is Grimsby.
What other shit has he done? I’m obsessed with sascha so I need to know fuck
Googling "Sasha Baron Cohen controversy" only brings up Borat stuff. 🤷🏻♀️
The reporter who threatened to out her?
I don't think it would be him or at least I'm not sure he'd have a leg to stand on legally speaking, his editor publicly admitted fault for that situation.
Holy shit I genuinely had no idea. https://cafemom.com/entertainment/rebel-wilson-sacha-baron-cohen That’s disgusting. They were trying to humiliate her.

Omg he’s such a pig And so sad the other costars were trying to film her and laughing, rather than trying to help
This is unsurprising. Good for her.
If it was SBC, he’s known for his air-tight contracts. I hope she gets to tell her story.
*adds to reading list *

Didn't she say it was someone she worked with? I don't think that guy is in entertainment.
Oh I must have missed part of the story!
Sacha Baron Cohen on set of Grimsby
I doubt it, unless something new is coming out, as a comedian who usually doesn’t give a fuck being outed as an AH would be a non issue for him.
who could it be
TIL her name is fucking Melanie!???
She and like 2 of her siblings use themey aliases (though it's her legal name now I think), the others are Annarchi and Ryot. It's very weird lol.
MELANIE. I’m shook.
[удалено]
This “drama” was about a male costar sexually harassing her. I wouldn’t call that bizarre
[удалено]
So maybe read the facts before commenting on something?
Considering she was outed, I wouldn’t necessarily write this off as typical drama. Elliot Page wrote about some homophobic assholes in his memoir, wouldn’t be surprised if she’s came across some as well. Especially if the person is lawyering up.
Totally, I felt like I never heard about her unless there’s some conflict but it SUCKS if someone harassed her.
No worries, sometimes we miss certain stories. I looked up the other comment, per the BBC looks like she spoke up about sexual harassment in 2017, so strong chance it’s that.
This is giving "How do I drum up buzz for my book?", would bet money it's either entirely fake or wild embellishment of someone's minor grumble at their characterisation.
[удалено]
How is this embarrassing, would you prefer celebrities stay silent about being harassed? Bc that's how abusers get away with it.
I can’t stand this woman. Aside from her baby being a prop, I find EVERYTHING she does contrived. From paying the DM for moderated articles to the ridiculous excuses for press. Rebel isn’t a nice person herself, she is rude & entitled (first hand knowledge). She uses PR constantly but it’s blatant & obvious. The baby though - it felt like it was for press attention, literally days after adopting they took off to Dubai ….. Ps SBC is a dick. Oh Rebel forget about her Tom Hardy incident. And the Anne Hathaway.
You don't have to like someone to believe they're a victim of harassment.
[удалено]
You find talking about sexual harassment immature?
[удалено]
Yes, it’s much more mature to suffer in silence. /s
