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.

Rebel Wilson reveals Sacha Baron Cohen has hired a crisis PR manager and lawyer to try and stop the release of her memoir:

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.

Social media star Bryce Hall has a new love in his life – and he’s not shy about showing it. The influencer is currently dating model and content creator Mikaela Lafuente, marking a fresh chapter in his very public dating history.

After months of speculation, Hall and Lafuente made their relationship official in early 2024, and since then, the pair have appeared inseparable, sharing romantic TikToks, traveling together, and even walking red carpets side by side.

Here’s everything to know about Mikaela Lafuente and her relationship with Bryce Hall.

His Relationship Timeline with Mikaela Lafuente

While Hall and Lafuente made things public in January 2024, their connection started much earlier. During an appearance on the Raw Talk podcast that same month, the couple revealed they first started chatting on Instagram back in 2022. However, due to Lafuente living outside Los Angeles, they didn’t pursue a serious relationship until two years later.

“She was always out of L.A.,” Hall explained, revealing that their early conversations didn’t evolve into a relationship until early 2024.

Hall made the first move by sending Lafuente a direct message with a simple “hey” and a pair of eye emojis. By late 2023, the duo had started appearing together online, most notably in October at a Halloween party, where they wore matching costumes.

Their red carpet debut came in February 2024 at the Bob Marley: One Love premiere in Los Angeles. That same month, they were spotted again at the People’s Choice Awards, wearing coordinated black-and-white outfits.

From vacations in Las Vegas, Argentina, Paris, Italy, and Australia to sweet TikTok moments, the couple has been giving fans a full look into their relationship.

Who Is Mikaela Lafuente?

Mikaela Lafuente, born June 8, 2002, is a model and social media influencer based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She frequently celebrates her roots online, sharing TikToks in Argentina’s soccer jersey and referring to her homeland as “el mejor país del mundo” — “the best country in the world.”

Lafuente has built a large following across platforms. On TikTok, she boasts over 4 million followers, while her Instagram profile has over 1 million fans. Her content ranges from dance videos and lifestyle vlogs to travel diaries and couple content with Hall.

In addition to being an influencer, Lafuente is a professional model. In July 2023, she walked in the Evita X Elizabeth & Co. New York Swim Week show, showcasing her presence in the fashion industry.

The 23-year-old is also a travel lover. She has shared photos from recent trips to Australia’s Byron Bay, where she interacted with wildlife, and solo adventures to Europe — including Paris and Italy.

Hall’s Past Relationships

Bryce Hall’s dating life has often made headlines – and Mikaela Lafuente isn’t the first influencer he’s been romantically linked to.

In early 2024, Hall was rumored to be dating Lindsay Capuano, a model and OnlyFans creator. The pair shared multiple social media posts, including flirty comments and shared selfies, but never officially confirmed their status. The relationship appeared to fizzle out before the year’s end.

Before Capuano, Hall’s most high-profile relationship was with Addison Rae, one of TikTok’s biggest stars. The two dated on and off between 2020 and 2021, captivating fans with their on-screen chemistry and public breakups. Their split involved some drama, including cheating allegations and cryptic tweets, making it one of TikTok’s most talked-about breakups at the time.

Since then, Hall has kept his romantic life relatively low-key until now. With Lafuente, he seems to be embracing a more open and affectionate dynamic, posting frequent couple content and even poking fun at their relationship on TikTok.

In one clip from January 2025, Hall shared a video of them deciding between sushi and pizza using rock-paper-scissors, ending with Lafuente jokingly frustrated that his choice won. “Happy wife, happy life,” he captioned it.

James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Sparks Right-Wing Backlash Ahead of Release

on

James Gunn’s much-anticipated Superman reboot is set to hit theaters on July 11, but the buzz leading up to the release has taken a political turn. In a recent interview, Gunn described Superman as “an immigrant’s immigrant,” reinforcing the character’s longstanding metaphor for hope, kindness, and the American dream. But this framing hasn’t sat well with everyone.

Right-wing commentators and political figures have criticized the film for what they perceive as a “woke” reinterpretation of the superhero. Among them, Fox News contributors and conservative commentators have taken aim at the film, calling it overly ideological. Former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway even predicted it would “bomb worse than Snow White did,” referencing the poorly received Disney remake.

Despite the backlash, Gunn remains firm in his creative direction. “This film is for everyone,” he said, “and it’s about kindness—not politics.” His brother, actor Sean Gunn, also defended the vision, explaining that the film’s message aligns with Superman’s origins as an alien finding belonging on Earth—a narrative deeply rooted in immigration and acceptance.

Early screenings have reportedly received positive feedback, especially for David Corenswet’s performance as Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan’s Lois Lane. Whether the film will rise above the political noise remains to be seen, but it’s clear that Gunn’s Superman is already a cultural flashpoint before its official release.
