Sacha Baron Cohen Camp Claims Vindication As UK Publisher Redacts Rebel Wilson’s Barbed Memoir

After finding himself an unwilling major selling point of Rebel Wilson‘s memoir Rebel Rising, Sacha Baron Cohen is feeling a bit of vindication tonight. When the UK version of the book is published tomorrow, the chapter about him will be largely redacted, this after Baron Cohen’s attorneys threatened to sue Harper Collins over allegations his camp has maintained were provably false. She has been beating on Baron Cohen like he owed her money for the past month, alleging outrageous treatment by him toward her on the set of the 2016 film The Brothers Grimsby. Wilson has not relented in public comments, but it looks like the publisher wasn’t taking any chances.

BBC following “medical advice”.His departure from the corporation comes nine months after it was claimed that he had paid a young person for sexually explicit images.Following the reports last July, Edwards’ wife shared that he had been hospitalised with “serious mental health issues”, and was subsequently suspended by the corporation.Now, according to a statement released by the BBC today (April 22), the broadcaster has resigned, citing medical advice as the basis for his decision.The statement read: “Huw Edwards has today resigned and left the BBC.”“After 40 years of service, Huw has explained that his decision was made on the basis of medical advice from his doctors,” it continued.“The BBC has accepted his resignation which it believes will allow all parties to move forward,” the statement added.The Metropolitan Police did not take action against the Welsh reporter, on the grounds that there was “no information to indicate that a criminal offence has been committed”.Edwards was reportedly the BBC’s highest-paid newsreader, having covered some of the biggest global news stories of the last three decades. Some of these events included the inauguration of Barack Obama, the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middeton, and the announcement of the death of Queen Elizabeth II.Between 1994 and 2003, Edwards presented the BBC Six O’Clock News, which was at the time the most-watched news programme in the United Kingdom.
