Internet rubbishes report that Rebel Wilson's explosive claims against Sacha Baron Cohen caused Isla Fisher split
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rebel Wilson’s sexual harassment allegations against co-star Sacha Baron Cohen may have played a "catalyst" in the comedian's split with his wife Isla Fisher. According to the ‘Wedding Daze’ star's close friends, the actress ended her relationship with Cohen to protect her "own career and reputation."
Fisher was reportedly "starting to get embarrassed" about the claims in Rebel's memoir, which likely made her move for the split, The Sun reports. Another source revealed that the former couple's decision wasn't an easy one and there is "still a lot of love" between Fisher and Sacha, who "remain incredibly close." In her bombshell memoir, ‘Rebel Rising’ Wilson wrote that Sacha asked her to strip off while filming scenes for their film, ‘The Brothers Grimsby.’
Sacha Baron Cohen has denied claims made by Rebel Wilson
Cohen continues to deny ever mistreating Rebel or pressuring her to be naked in the 2016 film. The source dished that Isla had her reason, to distance herself, “She's got her own career and reputation to worry about.”
The tipster added, “Those close to her said it was starting to get embarrassing with all of the allegations that were spilling out of Rebel's book. So she felt as though it was the right thing to do to inform everyone of their decision.”
“Sacha, on the other hand, did not want that. He has been making it as though it's business as usual before they made this announcement,” the source added. A common friend of the ex-couple said, “They have been having difficulties for some time and have battled to make things work. They didn't want to throw their love away for the sake of their family. Privately, though, friends were made aware.”
The source added, “They went to great lengths to keep things 'business as usual' on social media so as to control the narrative in a way they both felt comfortable with.”
Internet reacts to Rebel Wilson's claim amid Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher split
Internet weighed in on whether the Cohen-Fisher split was caused due to Rebel Wilson's memoir.
"So, it wasn’t a catalyst for the split. It was just a catalyst for telling the world. Very different things," a person commented.
The second wrote, "They had already split. They just made it public probably because they knew they were going to be asked about the allegations. Rebel Wilson seems to enjoy saying a lot of controversial things."
"I would too! She’s having her day. It’s not like he was a great guy anyway. Are we surprised? No!" said another.
One person said, "Rebel was obviously correct."
"They played brother and sister in the movie Bridesmaids. They do look very alike," one opined.
An online user reasoned, "You wouldn't divorce your husband of fourteen years over a claim in a book. There surely has to be more to the reason they decided to end their marriage."
