[BBC] Australian actress Rebel Wilson is the latest Hollywood star to reveal her experience of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.
In a series of tweets, she alleged that “a male star in a position of power” had repeatedly asked her to perform an obscene act.
“I refused. The whole thing was disgusting,” she said.
Wilson said the unnamed star’s male friends had attempted to film the incident before she left the room.
She complained to the film studio about the encounter, but says she was later “threatened by one of the star’s representatives”.

Johnny Knoxville and the Jack*?
IrishEyes says
wow- I thought Mark Whalberg was such a straight up guy- didn’t he bash Jenny McCarthy for being so trashy?
scumby says
She is being a drama queen making it seem like a personal thing.. It was part of the movie Grimsby. Sasha Baron Cohen wanted her to do it in character. Disgusting, but nothing on par with Weinstein or Piven
Lurky Lou says
The worst part of this story is bloody Rebel Wilson jumping on the damn bandwagon! Her “director” story is trying to draw attention to herself – nothing happened! Unlike many others…
Blossom says
Completely agree with you.
NoseyNana2008 says
I wondered if anyone would believe her since she is a proven liar. I’m not saying she made this up, but she has made up some doozies in the past.
Nasty as this subject is, I hope she’s telling the truth. Otherwise, it’s a slap in the face to all those who have come forward truthfully.
Swizzlestick says
All wrong!! Rebel won a recent defamation case about that accusation recently. Look it up. The person who asked Rebel was Sacha Baron Cohen. She mentioned this on a Radio Show. His humor is out there as seen by his movies. This WAS NOT funny and in light of people finally admitting to what they go through in Hollyweird I say let all the dominoes fall!! Go Rebel you rock!!
Lurky Lou says
Her recent defamation case had absolutely nothing to do with this. It was a gossip magazine accusing her of lying about her age and background, and apparently harassing her friends and family for more dirt. Nothing to do with #MeToo. She’s an attention *.

Patrick Swayze in Ghost. Or just a ghost.
MikeInSanJose says
LOL! Rebel would have been 9 – 10 when Ghost was being made. That *would* be some seriously messed up stuff!!

Sacha Baron Cohen

If she can’t name him she’s perpetuating the problem isn’t she?
Sun in Libra says
Nice old school victim blaming there
itstarapagain says
Amen. The victims who should be empowered are usually beat down verbally, threatened with legal action for defamation. Gee, why wouldn’t anyone think twice? Possibly have your career and reputation ruined for daring to speak out about being a victim? The people perpetuating this are the predators and sickos who exist to shut up victims. Law enforcement that refuse to investigate (Stallone police report) are the second most guilty, after the pervs of course.
staciegrenery says
No….that’s victim blaming. She could face legal ramifications possibly, or be afraid of hurting her career assuming that the actor is big enough to be able to hurt her future career.
MantisGirl says
No, she isn’t. But you are by trying to turn it all back on her.
narffy says
Yep..I agree
Jelly Drop says
Finger actor: I cannot get James Franco off my mind. My mind is screaming that is him.
Director: My guess someone connected through David Spade. Maybe for work on an Adam Sandler movie, do maybe Dennis Dugan?
Most appalling thing was the fact this whole thing was done with friends there. And everyone thought it was fine.

ACTOR JAMES FRANCO
DIRECTOR OLIVER STONE
calibg21 says
Finger actor = Sacha Baron Cohen
No clue about director
audreyyy says
top director: paul feig who directed pitch perfect?
JackiesMom says
Finger Actor: Sasha Baron Cohen during the filming of Grimsby. In an Australian KIIS podcast Rebel said that Cohen asked her to do this on the last day of filming.
Top (?) Director – too many to hazard a guess.
monkeyman420 says
If anyone has seen the movie in question they know that her character is the love interest of a character who has a… fascination with things in his bum. It’s also this mans style of comedy. At no time was this sexual or degrading. He wanted it for the film because it’s funny. Don’t be in a raunchy comedy with this guy if you don’t like that!
juliebr says
No.
pnwpersonkim says
lmao!
what you do with your friends on your own time and your own place is fine.
what you do while on the job and to people you have power over is called, “sexual harassment”. that is illegal.
sorry you don’t understand the difference.
your logic is old fashioned
JennyJustice says
No! Absolutely No! Anybody agreeable to doing a raunchy comedy even with Cohen would never imagine being asked to shove their finger up somebody’s butt hole. That’s not raunchy comedy. That’s porn any way you cut it – comedy or not.
It’s only stupid to be offended if it was in her contract. It wasnt. Why would she think she’d be expected to stoop to that level of depravity? She may be an attention seeker but that doesn’t mean she’s lying about everything all the time.
aaamurds says
The actor is Sacha Baron Cohen, not sure about the director. Both parts of the story are horrible! What a sicko
Markme says
The whole thing is disgusting.
angelbratt says
The whole Hollywood thing is gisgusting! I will absolutely not support any more movie stars by buying/watching their movies. Not sure, yet, how I feel about the television industry at this time.
And whoever this blind is about? He and all his buddies are repulsive pigs.
delray74 says
Actor is Adam DeVine and director is Louis Leterrier
sleepquick says
Not Adam he’s too sweet. They are working together on a romantic comedy right now. She wouldn’t keep working with him over and over if it was him.
Sharper_Teeth says
He was my first thought, but he doesn’t seem the type to do that to a female. I could see him being gross and immature with his buddies, but I don’t see him disrespecting people, on purpose. They seem to be good friends, anyway.
staciegrenery says
I think they are really good friends actually. Doubt she would keep going back for sequels if it was from Pitch Perfect. I think the blind said it happened earlier in her career, anyway.
