The writing was on the wall for Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen’s marriage long before the divorce news broke. A source told the Daily Mail things went south after they relocated to Australia. The couple made the move so Fisher could be closer to her family, and it was apparently one of the many concessions Cohen made to keep his wife happy. “He made this sacrifice for her and would make many sacrifices for her throughout their marriage,” the source claimed.
Fisher and Cohen’s divorce news also came mere days after Rebel Wilson accused the comedian of appalling on-set behavior. In her new memoir, “Rebel Rising,” Wilson claimed Cohen fat-shamed and tormented her while making “The Brothers Grimsby,” the 2016 action comedy they starred in together. “[He] really had something against women, particularly overweight women,” she wrote. “It’s like the fourth grade bully who likes to tease the fat girl on the playground and tries to make her life a living hell.”
Wilson branded Cohen “an a**hole” ahead of the memoir’s release and accused him of trying to block its publication. “I will not be bullied or silenced by high-priced lawyers or crisis PR managers,” she shared in an Instagram Story (via The Wrap). Cohen has vehemently denied Wilson’s accusations. “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence,” his spokesperson told Variety.
