Rebel Wilson is once again in the limelight with her recently released bombshell memoir, Rebel Rising. This is because the book reveals multiple secrets and allegations towards some of her fellow co-stars; all of which have pretty much caught the whole world in a storm. But of all the people, none has faced as brutal allegations as Sacha Baron Cohen.

That being said, the disturbing series of incidents she faced with Baron Cohen while shooting their first and last film together, The Brothers Grimsby, seem to be too harrowing for her, considering how Wilson has refused to work with Baron Cohen ever again, no matter the amount of money offered to her — even if they’re willing to pay her a billion dollars!

Rebel Wilson details how Hollywood’s pay scales can increase exponentially in her new memoir, Rebel Rising. The actress and comedian opens up about her salaries for Bridesmaids and the Pitch Perfect trilogy.
Wilson writes in the book that she was paid only $3,500 for 2011’s Bridesmaids, which starred Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne and Melissa McCarthy (Wilson played Brynn, the obnoxious roommate of Wiig’s Annie Walker). But the entirety of her small check went to Screen Actors Guild fees to join the union. Nevertheless, “that didn’t matter to me,” Wilson writes. “The experience was everything!”
Wilson notes she booked six new gigs within two weeks of Bridesmaids‘ release, one of which was the 2012 a cappella smash hit, Pitch Perfect.

Rebel Wilson writes in her new memoir “Rebel Rising” that she was able to successfully negotiate a $10 million salary to reprise the role of Fat Amy in “Pitch Perfect 3” (via People). The payday proved how much of a career Wilson built for herself over six years as she earned just $3,500 for her small breakthrough in 2011’s “Bridesmaids.”
The small “Bridesmaids” sum “didn’t matter to me,” Wilson writes. She took the role and didn’t think twice about the salary because the fee was enough to get her into the SAG-AFTRA union, which meant more opportunities in Hollywood. Wilson says she booked six movies after “Bridesmaids” opened in theaters, “one of which was ‘Pitch Perfect.’ Boy, did that movie pay dividends!”
In an interview with The New York Times about her memoir, Wilson was asked about her decision to write candidly about some of the salaries she earned during her acting career thus far.

Rebel Wilson has recently made a surprising revelation in an excerpt from her new mémoire, Rebel Rising. Explaining how she believes Adele doesn’t like her, Wilson claimed that perhaps the singer’s hatred towards her was because of the way people often confused them for one another back in the day when they had gained a bit of weight.

According to an excerpt obtained by US Weekly, the Pitch Perfect actress asserted that a few celebrities often took offense at the term “plus-size”. Assuming that perhaps that’s why even Adele hated her, Rebel Wilson noted how the singer would allegedly “always quickly” turn away when they crossed paths at events.

Actress Rebel Wilson admitted to using Ozempic to help her lose 80 pounds but says she is no longer taking the drug. Ozempic is a type 2 diabetes drug that has recently begun trending on social media for weight loss.
Wilson told The Sunday Times, “Someone like me could have a bottomless appetite for sweets, so I think those drugs can be good.”
In 2020, Wilson underwent a complete health transformation after doctors told the actress she could face infertility due to her weight and polycystic ovarian syndrome, also known as Pcos.
Known for her comedic roles such as Fat Amy in the Pitch Perfect film series, Wilson said about her weight loss, “People thought I’d lose my pigeonhole in my career, playing the fat funny character, and they wanted me to continue in that.”
Wilson and her partner Ramona Agruma welcomed a baby girl via surrogate in November 2022 named Royce Lillian.

Rebel Wilson says she made herself “ugly” in the early parts of her acting career because it was the best way to get comedic roles. Wilson also says she was “degraded” due to her appearance, and — at least once — her weight was literally a mandate for continued employment.
Wilson told The Sunday Times she had a contract clause for her breakout performance in the “Pitch Perfect” trilogy to not lose weight from 2012 to 2017. She played the character “Fat Amy” in the films. Wilson said the role, in part, led to her “deliberately making myself less attractive” to achieve success in comedy.
“I wanted to make something of myself, have a great career, and make a lot of money,” Wilson said. “I knew I wouldn’t be taken seriously like a Cate Blanchett or Nicole Kidman, but I quickly realized that the bigger you were, the more audiences laughed. So I...

Rebel Wilson has shared more details about her experience working on the 2016 action-comedy “The Brothers Grimsby.”
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Wilson said she felt “disrespected on set,” but didn’t speak up at the time out of fear of being labeled a “troublemaker.”
“It turned out to be the worst professional experience of my career,” she added.
Wilson played Dawn Grobham, the girlfriend of Sacha Baron Cohen’s dimwitted character Nobby. On social media, the “Pitch Perfect” star alluded to a “massive a**hole” whom she had once worked with that’s been trying to stop her from publishing her upcoming memoir “Rebel Rising”; she revealed on Monday that it was Baron Cohen.

Sacha Baron Cohen is not keeping mute on the “A–hole” name his “The Brother’s Grimsby” co-star Rebel Willson called him in her upcoming memoir “Rebel Rising.”
In case you’re wondering how Cohen became the“A–hole,” it all started with Wilson’s March 15 Instagram post in which she promoted her upcoming book.
In the post, Wilson shared with her followers how it was for her when she “first came to Hollywood.” She said, “People were like, ‘Yeah, I have a no-a–holes policy that means, like, I don’t work with a–holes.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I mean, that sounds sensible, logical.’”
She went on to add, “But then it really sunk in what they were meaning by that, older people in the industry. Because I worked with a massive a–hole, and, yeah, now I definitely have a no-a–holes policy chapter on said a–hole.

Melissa McCarthy made a name for herself early with memorable comedic roles. She was the comic relief character with a few extra pounds. However, based on the most recent updates from her, she is kicking those pounds to the curb in a big way. So, what does she look like now?
Melissa McCarthy’s Weight Was Part Of Her Schtick
When you think of Melissa McCarthy’s previous roles in shows like Mike & Molly, it was easy to plug her into heavyset comedic roles with a good punchline. Over the years, the actor has branched out into other roles, but, most viewers agree that she is at her best when she is in some type of comedic role.
One thing that happens with this type of role is that it can be hard to break out of it. The same thing happened to Jonah Hill and Rebel Wilson before they eventually dropped the pounds.

The Pitch Perfect family has grown quite so much over the years, and we think that is a-ca-awesome!
Believe it or not, it’s been more than a decade since the franchise introduced us to the Barden Bellas and showcased Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp and so many more stars’ vocal abilities.
In the series, they’re just a bunch of college-aged students making music using only their mouths. However, in real life the talented cast is so much more. Notably, a good amount of them are adults with kids of their own.
In total, seven Pitch Perfect stars are already parents. The list includes someone who just welcomed a little one in early 2024.
We pulled together all of the Pitch Perfect stars who have and added one cast member to the list who revealed why they do not want to be a parent. Their reasoning might surprise you!
