What are the allegations against Sacha Baron Cohen?

Rebel Wilson’s memoir accusations

  • In her 2024 memoir, actress Rebel Wilson accused Baron Cohen of sexual harassment during the filming of The Brothers Grimsby (Harper’s BAZAAR Australia (fashion and culture publication)).
  • The timing of the divorce announcement just days after the allegations became public drew additional scrutiny.
  • Baron Cohen has reportedly denied the claims through representatives, though no public statement has been issued.
The upshot

Credibility rests entirely on he-said-she-said testimony without tangible corroboration. For Rebel Wilson, the cost of going public was immediate media firestorm; for Baron Cohen, the risk is reputational damage without legal consequence.
