Wilson, known for her breakout roles in Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids, has become a household name in Hollywood for her comedic talent and unique voice

On March 15th, Wilson initially teased the conflict on Instagram, revealing she had dedicated an entire chapter to a "massive a**hole" she encountered in Hollywood without naming anyone.

On Monday, she claimed that this unnamed star had resorted to hiring "a crisis PR manager and lawyers" to silence her. The suspense ended when Wilson explicitly named Baron Cohen in a follow-up Instagram story on Monday, accusing him of being the antagonist.

This revelation has sparked widespread attention, drawing fans and critics into a heated discussion about the dynamics of power and intimidation in the entertainment industry. Wilson and Baron Cohen's partnership in Grimsby saw her character as the girlfriend of his English football hooligan-turned-spy.
