9 april 2024 в 22:02
Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher were one of the most modest and enduring couples in Hollywood. However, that changed when they announced their split in April 2024, almost immediately after Rebel Wilson made shocking allegations against Sacha.
Neither Sacha nor Isla have publicly commented on the reasons for their divorce. However, several sources have reported different reasons for their separation.
A few days after the actors announced their split, Daily Mail reported that they parted ways due to disagreements about where to live as a family. However, Us Weekly reported that Isla and Sacha had been «at odds» for a long time due to their work commitments and family obligations.
On April 5th, Sacha and Isla announced their split by posting a joint statement on their respective Instagram accounts.
«After a long tennis match that lasted over 20 years, we are finally putting down our rackets», - they wrote in the Instagram Stories statement. «In 2023, we jointly filed for divorce. We have always preferred our private life and quietly worked on this change. We forever share our dedication and love for our children. We sincerely thank you for respecting our family’s desire for privacy».
Sacha and Isla are raising three children. However, the parents have decided not to disclose the names of their children until they develop their plans for the future as a family.
In her memoir «Rebel Uprising», - Rebel accused Sacha of sexual harassment while working with him on the comedy film «The Brothers Grimsby».
«I felt like every time I spoke to SBC, he would mention that he wanted me to strip off in the next scene», - claimed the «Pitch Perfect» franchise star in her book. «I was like, 'Ha, I’m not getting naked, Sacha.'»
At one point in her memoir, Rebel claimed that Sacha sent a production assistant to tell her that she needed to shoot an «extra scene».
«'Okay, we’ll shoot this extra scene,' SBC says», - Rebel added. «Then he drops his pants. SBC says very matter-of-factly, 'Okay, now I want you to stick your finger up my a**.' And I’m like, 'What? No!!'… I was scared. I wanted to get out of there, so I finally agreed: I gave him a slap on the a** and improvised a few lines in the role».
Calling her agent, Rebel claimed she was encouraged to «be professional and finish the film». She then recalled being allegedly offered to reshoot scenes, including shooting a sex scene.
«I shot this scene, demanding a rewrite», - she pointed out. «But I still had to simulate sex with this guy. I still had to kiss him a few times… It really hit me that this was something that couldn’t be brushed off as a joke. I told the producers I wouldn’t do any promotion for the film».
However, a producer from «The Brothers Grimsby» denied Rebel’s allegations in a statement obtained by PEOPLE, claiming she «read and approved» the sexual scene «in advance».
«At no point did Sacha actually ask her to stick her finger up his a**», - the producer claimed. «Throughout this entire period, she was treated with the utmost respect and support and was welcomed as a co-author in all creative areas»
