The ongoing feud between Rebel Wilson and Sacha Baron Cohen has taken a dramatic turn, with branding expert Doug Eldridge suggesting that the public spat may actually be a clever PR strategy to generate buzz for Wilson’s upcoming memoir, “Rebel Rising.”
Wilson recently referred to Cohen as the “a–hole” she wrote about in her book, accusing him of bullying her with lawyers and PR tactics. The actress first hinted at the feud in an Instagram post back in March, without initially naming Cohen.
However, Cohen’s representative has denied Wilson’s claims of inappropriate behavior on the set of their film, “The Brothers Grimsby,” providing evidence to refute the accusations.
Wilson further escalated the feud during a recent radio interview, alleging that Cohen harassed her on set by suggesting she go naked and participate in a scene that was not in the script.
Eldridge believes that in today’s era of victim marketing, individuals often position themselves as victims to garner sympathy and vilify others. With both Wilson and Cohen being well-known figures in the entertainment industry, this feud is gaining momentum among fans and media outlets.
While Cohen is best known for his iconic character Ali G and roles in films like “Borat,” Wilson has made a name for herself with roles in popular films such as “Bridesmaids” and “Pitch Perfect,” solidifying her status in Hollywood.
As the feud between these two celebrities continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how it will impact the public’s perception of both Wilson and Cohen. Stay tuned for more updates on Celebrity Beauty Buzz.
