Rebel Wilson’s memoir will not include accusations against Sacha Baron Cohen
Rebel’s memoir has already been published as is in the US. However, HarperCollins decided to redact the parts that mention Sacha’s inappropriate behavior for the UK edition of the book.

His team added that printing falsehoods is illegal in the United Kingdom and Australia.
“This is a clear victory for Sacha Baron Cohen and confirms what we said all along: that this is demonstrably false, in a disgraceful and failed effort to sell books.”
