Rebel Wilson is Exposing Sacha Baron Cohen on Her Memoir ‘Rebel Rising’
“I will not be bullied or silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers.”
Rebel Wilson is coming out with her memoir, Rebel Rising.
In her book, she will talk about her rise to fame with Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids and how her journey in Hollywood has been by far. Alongside this, she will get in-depth about her personal life — before and after fame — talking about the most pressing issues of her life.
She is also set to expose people in her book.
In March 2024, Wilson mentioned in a video shared on Instagram how there was a chapter dedicated to a man she worked with. She noted that she considered the person to be a “massive [expletive].”
She said, “When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, ‘Yeah, I have a no-a–holes policy that means, like, I don’t work with [expletive].’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I mean, that sounds sensible, logical.’”
But later, she came to know that it simply meant older people in the industry. Wilson said that in Chapter 23 of her book, she will be talking about the guy who she worked with and considered to be the “massive [expletive].”
However, she had not named the person. This led many to speculate about who Wilson was talking about.

The actress also mentioned how the person had hired a crisis PR team and was sending her threats after she revealed that they would be exposed in one of the chapters of her memoir. “He’s trying to stop press coming out about my new book,” she wrote. “But the book WILL come out and you will all know the truth.”
However, Wilson did not wait for her book to be released to expose the person.
She did so on her Instagram Stories. On March 25, 2024, she posted a story and claimed that it was Sacha Baron Cohen who she was referring to.
“I will not be bullied or silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers. The “asshole” that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories.
Wilson and Baron Cohen featured as husband and wife in Grimsby, and Wilson has previously recounted her experiences filming the film, claiming that Baron Cohen pressured her to strip naked before hiring a body duplicate when she refused.
When Grimsby was in post-production, she talked about it on the Kyle and Jackie O radio program in Australia in 2014. She claimed that Baron Cohen was so insistent that she had to threaten him to call their joint agency to tell them how much he was harassing her.
She said, “Every day he’s like, ‘Just go naked, it will be funny. Remember in Borat when I did that naked scene? It was hilarious.’ On the last day, I thought I’d obviously won the argument and he got a body double to do the naked scene.”
Wilson further said that Baron Cohen wanted her to insert her finger up his bottom in the last session. She told him it was not in the script, but Baron Cohen was very insistent.
“And he’s like, ‘Look, I’ll just pull down my pants, you just stick your finger up my butt, it’ll be a really funny bit.’” he allegedly told her. Because of how much he was pressuring her, Wilson came to a compromise and slapped him once on her butt.
As soon as Wilson posted her Instagram story, it went viral, and many people accused Baron Cohen of being inappropriate. As a result, the actor’s representatives gave the same statement to different news sources.
They said, “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.”
At the time of writing, Baron Cohen did not address the situation himself. Wilson’s memoir, Rebel Rising, comes out April 2, 2024, via Simon & Schuster.

The Bachelor’s Aly Jacobs Gets Engaged to Longtime Boyfriend
The duo has been dating since early 2023.
Congratulations to Alyssa Danielle Jacobs, also known as Aly Jacobs, who recently got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, whose identity is yet to be revealed.
The 28-year-old former contestant of The Bachelor revealed her engagement to her boyfriend in a romantic Instagram post on Monday, August 5, 2024. She shared a series of pictures alongside her future husband while flaunting her engagement ring.
In the first picture, she was seen sitting in her fiance’s lap, as her partner delivered a sweet kiss on her cheeks. Jacobs seemed to be donning a red outfit; however, it isn’t clear as she had covered herself with her fiance’s coat.
On the other hand, her mystery fiance wore a white shirt with a navy blue suit. The second picture showed the newly engaged couple passionately kissing each other on the lips, as Jacobs upheld her hand to flaunt her stunning diamond engagement ring.

Similarly, the third and last picture she added was a selfie her now-fiance took on their first date at Bones Restaurant in Atlanta. To accompany those memorable images, she wrote, “from first dates to forever, the easiest yes.”
Moments after she made the big engagement announcement, her Instagram post was filled with congratulatory messages from friends and well-wishers. For instance, one Instagram user and a friend of the couple wrote, “I knew it!! Congrats, Aly!! So happy for you two.”
“OMG!!! Yay Aly!! You deserve it all. So happy for you!” wrote another friend of the former Bachelor contestant, with one Instagram user following up with, “Congratulations!!! Such an incredible couple, so so happy for y’all!”

Likewise, one Instagram user commented, “Over the moon elated for you both!!! So happy you found your person, and above all, to see you receive the love you are so worthy and deserving of. Congratulations lovey!!!”
Jacobs and her boyfriend-turned-fiance officially began dating on February 3, 2023. However, the exact details of how they met as well as all the details about her future husband currently remains unknown, as the reality star prefers to keep them under the limelight.
That said, the first time she featured her then-boyfriend on her Instagram handle was on June 21, 2023. She shared a series of pictures with her partner from their vacation in Amelia Island and captioned it by writing, “keeping this one to myself.”
Since then, she has frequently featured her boyfriend on her social media handles. In December 2023, they spent Christmas together, and a couple of months later, on February 3, 2024, they marked their first dating anniversary.
Fast forward to August 2024, Jacobs and her partner have taken a big step in their relationship and gotten engaged. Once again, congratulations to the love birds!

Jenn Tran Responds to Hurtful Racist Message She Received over Instagram
“You’ll have to try a little harder.”
Jenn Tran, the first Asian American Bachelorette, recently addressed a racist message she received, expressing her dismay and resilience. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges of racism and the importance of standing against hate.
As The Bachelorette Season 21 – featuring Tran – continues to air weekly, Tran has been taking to her Instagram handle to bond with her fans, by asking them to send her which Taylor Swift song they believe applies to that week’s episode.
After going through all the suggestions, she picks one and officially names the one song as the “song of the week” after the episode airs. Some of Swift’s songs that have been picked during the past few weeks are ‘Sparks Fly,’ ‘Karma,’ ‘State of Grace,’ and ‘Jump Then Fall.’
On Monday, August 5, 2024, the fifth episode of The Bachelorette Season 21 aired, and as custom, Tran took to her Instagram story to ask her fans which Taylor Swift song applies to this week’s episode. However, one particular response wasn’t what Tran was expecting.

It’s because that response was targeted toward Tran’s ethnicity. This hateful and racist response targeted the reality star’s Asian roots, mentioning the shape of her eyes and her ability to “see” if they are “barely open.”
Tran immediately decided to shut down this racist message and clapped back via her Instagram story. First, she wrote, “First of all, not on Taylor Swift song day!!! How rude!” She then followed up with, “Second of all, if you’re gonna make a racist comment to hurt me, you’ll have to try a little harder than with something I’ve been hearing since I was a kid.”
Despite the hurtful message, she remains focused on her journey as the Bachelorette. She continues to approach her role with positivity and determination, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity.
As the first Asian American Bachelorette, Tran has faced unique pressures and responsibilities. In an earlier interview with Bachelor Nation, she discussed the significance of her role, expressing her desire to be a positive role model.
In the interview, she shared her thoughts on the pressures of being the first Asian American Bachelorette. She acknowledged the weight of expectations but emphasized her commitment to staying true to herself and her story. Jenn expressed gratitude for the opportunity to represent her ethnicity and inspire others.
She stated, “Of course I feel pressure. A lot of it actually comes from me wanting to be a good role model and do it ‘right,’ whatever that means. At the end of the day, I tell myself that it’s just about being myself and telling my story the best that I can.”
Her journey as the Bachelorette is not only about finding love but also about breaking barriers and promoting inclusivity. Her grace and strength continue to inspire many, and her stance against racism sets a powerful example for her audience and beyond.
Here at GlamourBuff, we don’t tolerate any online bullying or racist behavior.

Shanae Ankney and Future Husband Nate Ebner Celebrate Second Anniversary
Congratulations to the two!
Shanae Ankney is relishing all the days before she officially becomes a wife to her boyfriend-turned-fiance Nate Ebner.
One such day was Ankney and Ebner’s second dating anniversary. On Tuesday, July 30, 2024, the Bachelor in Paradise alum took to her Instagram handle to mark the special occasion.
She posted a PDA-filled picture of herself and her partner, where they were sweetly kissing each other. The image was taken on the sidewalk, in front of what seems to be a small restaurant or a diner.
It means that the love birds went to get some alone time and celebrate their special milestone. Alongside the picture, she wrote a sweet caption, reading, “Love is spelled T-I-M-E. Happy two years my love. I can’t wait to share your last name.”
Some moments later, friends and well-wishers took to the comment section to pour congratulatory messages. One Instagram user wrote, “You were our favorite ever from the bachelor franchise, sooo happy to see you found your happily ever after!!!”
“So happy for y’all. May God bless you and your little family,” wrote another Instagram user. Similarly, a friend of the engaged duo commented, “Yay!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it!!”
Likewise, one doubter, who didn’t believe Ankney and Ebner’s relationship would last this long, took to the comment section and wrote, “I can’t believe it lasted this long. I was wrong. I thought he would leave within 3 months.”
Well, while there might have been some doubts about Ankney and her boyfriend’s relationship during its initial phase, those doubts went away as their bond strengthened. One of the main reasons behind their relationship’s strength was when they welcomed a baby.
Speaking from the start, the 32-year-old Ankney – whose birth name is Shanae Irene Ankney – officially began dating Ebner on July 30, 2022. However, she initially kept their relationship a secret and also didn’t feature him on her socials.

On November 11, 2022, she soft-launched her relationship with the former NFL player. She had posted the same picture as the one in her second dating anniversary post, except only Ebner’s arm was visible in the 2022 Instagram post.
On April 10, 2023, she officially hard-launched their relationship via Instagram. Less than a year later, on October 23, 2023, Ankney took to her Instagram handle to announce that she was pregnant with a baby girl and her due date was April 2024.
On April 11, 2024, she gave birth to an adorable daughter, whom the couple named Maven Jane. She publicly announced the good news on April 15, captioning her post, “Maven Jane 🤍 4•11•2024 🤍 you were worth the wait my sweet girl.”
A month after welcoming their baby girl, the boyfriend-girlfriend duo got engaged. On May 16, 2024, The Bachelor alum revealed that Ebner went down on his knee and proposed to her, to which she gladly accepted.

She shared a picture of her holding her baby girl, while flaunting her engagement ring, and wrote, “I can’t wait to do it all with you Nate, you make me the happiest girl alive. Here’s to FOREVER. I love you!”
As mentioned earlier, Ankney and her partner have been together for a little over two years. In the time they have spent together, they have welcomed a baby and gotten engaged. And the wedding bells might also be ringing soon. We wish the couple nothing but the best!
