Rebel Wilson didn’t mince words.
On Tuesday, the “Pitch Perfect” star — once again — called out “a—hole” Sacha Baron Cohen for allegedly threatening her over the release of her forthcoming memoir, “Rebel Rising.”
“Thanks so much to everyone who has sent gorgeous memories of support in the last few days and to those who shared with me their stories of this a–hole!” she wrote via her Instagram Story.
“Don’t worry I won’t be bullied or threatened by this guy!” the actress added. “And am working hard behind the scenes to make sure my book comes out.”

“PS my book is not ABOUT this guy – this is one chapter!”

Although she initially kept Cohen’s identity a secret, the “Senior Year” star outed him as the celebrity in question after he allegedly “hired a crisis PR manager and lawyers” to “stop press coming out” about her book.
“I wrote about an a–hole in my book. Now, said a–hole is trying to threaten me,” she alleged via her Instagram Story over the weekend.
