SACHA Baron Cohen has hailed a “clear victory” in his battle with Rebel Wilson as her memoir was published with allegations against him scrubbed out

SACHA Baron Cohen has hailed a “clear victory” in his battle with Rebel Wilson as her memoir was published with allegations against him scrubbed out.

Almost an entire page of Rebel Rising about the Ali G and Borat star, 52, is covered in thick black redaction marks.

Sacha Baron Cohen has spoken out after parts of Rebel Wilson’s book were banned in the UK

Rebel’s highly anticipated memoir was finally published on Thursday

Sacha and his wife Isla, pictured, announced their breakup shortly after the allegations came to light

A note on page 216 – which initially included statements criticizing Sacha’s behavior on set – said the passage had been removed “due to the peculiarities of the law in England and Wales”.

The book, released in the UK, has been available in the US and other countries since the beginning of the month.

“This is a clear victory for Sacha Baron Cohen and confirms what we have said from the beginning – that [the allegations] are patently false, in an attempt to attracting sales was a failure and an embarrassment.

“Printing falsehoods is against the law in the UK and Australia — this is not a ‘peculiarity’ as Ms Wilson said, but a legal principle that has existed for many hundreds of years.”

In Australia and New Zealand, the entire chapter entitled “Sacha Baron Cohen and Other Assholes” is said to have been removed.

In those pages, Aussie Rebel, 44, wrote about her negative experiences working with Sacha on the 2016 spy comedy Grimsby, which he also co-wrote and produced.

They played a couple and Rebel accused her co-star of repeatedly asking her to “go naked”.

She added: “I was constantly saying no to him and he didn’t like it.”
