ACTRESS Isla Fisher finally broke her silence after Rebel Wilson made lewd claimed about her husband in her autobiography.
Rebel’s memoir, Rebel Rising, detailed a supposed experience where Sacha Baron Cohen asked her to, “stick her finger up his a*s.”
Isla, Sacha’s wife of 14 years, finally spoke out following Rebel’s accusations.
The Australian actress shared a photo on a night out with her friends.
She was at a production of The Hills of California with some A-lister pals.
Producer Bruna Papandrea, Aussie actress Naomi Watts and Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery all sat beside their friend.
The group looked happy and smiled at the camera.
Isla did not mention Rebel’s book and has otherwise remained silent since an extract was released last week.
After the claims were made, Sacha completely denied Rebel’s words and said they were false.
He hired a lawyer to peruse the case further.
Rebel said she was made to feel uncomfortable on the set of the 2016 comedy Grimsby.
In it, she played a woman named Dawn, girlfriend to Nobby, Sacha’s character.

A passage from Rebel’s book was obtained by People Magazine and said that Sacha pestered her to strip off.
She also said Sacha told her to, “Stick a finger up his arse,” to make a funny scene.
“It felt like every time I’d speak to SBC, he’d mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene. I was like, ‘Ha, I don’t do nudity, Sacha,’ she wrote in her book.
She recalled an experience where she was brought in to do an extra scene in Cape Town, South Africa.
“‘OK, well, we’re gonna film this extra scene,’ SBC says. ‘Then he pulls his pants down’, SBC says very matter-of-factly: “OK, now I want you to stick your finger up my a**.” And I’m like, “What?? … No!!”‘ Rebel wrote.
“I was now scared. I wanted to get out of there, so I finally compromised: I slapped him on the a*s and improvised a few lines as the character,” she explained.
Rebel also said she was reluctant to have a sex scene with Sacha and only agreed to it after several rewrites.
This was only only granted after Rebel threatened to obtain from promoting the film ahead of it’s release.
CLAPPING BACK
Sacha responded and said Rebel’s claims were false and he never forced her to strip down.
A spokesperson also reached out on behalf of Sacha.
“While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby,” the explained.

Nine cast members have also backed Sacha’s claims that the scene was written into the script, according to his team.
Rebel also said she felt it was, “karma,” that the movie didn’t perform well at the Box Office.
Last week, Rebel teased her fans with the contents of her book via her Instagram Story.
INSIDE LOOK
She uploaded an image of a purple pen and a stack of paper.
“I wrote about an a**hole in my book. Now said a**hole is trying to threaten me,” the explicit text started.
“He’s hired a crisis PR [public relations] manager and lawyers.”
“He is trying to stop the book from coming out,” the caption continued.
“But the book will come out, and you will know the truth.”
“The “a**hole that I am talking about in one chapter of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen,” the text concluded.
The post was deleted after it was posted and Sacha has since been compiling a legal team to fight back.
Rebel’s book was released on Tuesday, but has been delayed in the UK for a few weeks due to legal complications with the allegations.
