Rebel Wilson turned her fans into detectives when she mentioned she had dedicated a chapter in her upcoming book to an 'a**hole' she had to worked with.
Speaking to her fans on social media, Wilson explained why she now has a 'no a**hole policy'.
Posting on Instagram she even teased that in her upcoming book she has dedicated a chapter to an 'a**hole' she has the displeasure of working with.

She didn’t name on what project or event, so fans launched into speculation ahead of the Australian star naming them.
“When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, yeah, ‘I have a no a**hole policy, [it] means like, yeah, I don’t work with a**holes.’ I was like, ‘oh yeah. I mean, that sounds sensible or logical,” Wilson said in a video she posted on March 15 on Instagram.
“But then it really sunk in [what they, the older people in the industry, meant] because I worked with a massive a**hole and yeah, now I definitely have a no a**holes policy.”
“The chapter on said a**hole is chapter 23. That guy was a massive a**hole.”
Obviously, this sparked a flurry of suggestions and questions about who this person was.
Well, the drama then only got more intense in the following days.
In a now deleted Instagram Story, Wilson claimed the star in question had tried to threaten her with legal action.
“I wrote about an a**hole in my book. Now, said a**hole is trying to threaten me,” she said.
“He’s hired a crisis PR manager and lawyers. He is trying to stop press coming out about my book. But the book WILL come out, and you will all know the truth.”
While this made many fans even more eager to get her upcoming memoir, it seemed Wilson has had enough of the speculation and named the actor.
On Sunday in another Instagram Story, Wilson said that Sacha Baron Cohen is who she has been speaking about.
“I will not be bullied or silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers. "The 'a**hole' that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen,” she wrote on her story.
Baron Cohen has not posted about this matter or addressed it on his own social media channels.
Fans now wait in anticipation to get their hands on Wilson’s book Rebel Rising to hear what she has to say.
UNILAD has contacted Sacha Baron Cohen's reps for comment.
Rebel's book is available to pre-order on Amazon now.
