Rebel's Revelations

Rebel Wilson recently discussed the timing of Isla Fisher's split from Sacha Baron Cohen, sparking industry rumors following her contentious claims. In her memoir, Wilson calls Cohen a "massive a**hole" and alleges on-set misconduct during the filming of "Grimsby" in 2016.

The UK edition of her book omits some of her most severe accusations. Cohen has vehemently denied these allegations, with his team providing evidence, including film footage and eyewitness statements, to support their refutation.

Divorce Announcement Context

The news of Fisher and Cohen's divorce broke last month. Although the "Wedding Crashers" and "Ali G" stars had been reportedly living separate lives since the previous year, the announcement followed closely on the heels of the release of Wilson's memoir, sparking speculation about its impact. According to Wilson, speaking on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, "I don’t feel like I’m the reason, but it might have just been his general treatment to women,” emphasizing that the timing was not favorable for Cohen.

Impact on Personal Relationships

Wilson also commented on the current status of her friendship with Fisher, revealing that they have not spoken since the divorce announcement. "Obviously, I used to be friends with her before all this happened. We did a movie together called Bachelorette,” Wilson added, hinting at a possible fallout.

Media Speculations and Reports

The narrative surrounding the divorce has been mixed. A source told The Sun that Wilson's revelations acted as a "catalyst" for Fisher to make the divorce public, suggesting Fisher felt compelled to manage her reputation in light of the allegations. Conversely, US Weekly cited sources claiming the announcement was planned, aimed at minimizing the impact on their children and was unrelated to Wilson's allegations.

Couple's Continued Relationship

Despite the turbulent backdrop, sources close to the couple have emphasized that Fisher and Cohen remain on amicable terms. They "battled to make things work for the sake of their family" and continue to share a deep mutual respect and love, working to ensure their children adjust well to the new family dynamics.
