Australian actress Rebel Wilson has made explosive claims in her new memoir, ‘Rebel Rising,’ alleging that a minor member of the British royal family invited her to a drug-fueled orgy at a US tech billionaire’s home in 2014.
Wilson, 44, does not name the royal in question, but said the party took place at a rented ranch just outside Los Angeles and had a medieval theme. She described the event as “insane,” with men jousting on horses and girls dressed as mermaids in the pool.
Wilson claims that, during the evening, a man came out with a large tray piled with what looked like candy, but was actually MDMA (molly). She says she turned to a screenwriter she had been talking to, who explained that the orgy was about to begin.
Wilson said she “hike[d] up [her] damsel dress and [ran] out of there as fast as [she] could.” She also claims that, in the same year, she was offered $2 million to spend a weekend with a Jordanian prince, which she declined.
Another chapter of ‘Rebel Rising’ is entitled “Sacha Baron Cohen and Other A–holes.” In it, Wilson planned to publish allegations about Baron Cohen’s behavior on the set of their film, ‘The Brothers Grimsby.’ However, after Baron Cohen strenuously denied the allegations via his lawyers, HarperCollins was forced to redact a full page of claims.
Wilson begins to describe a scene being shot at a football stadium in Cape Town. “What followed was the worst experience of my professional life. An incident that left me feeling bullied, humiliated, and compromised. It can’t be printed here due to peculiarities of the law in England and Wales,” she says, before the redactions begin.
In the memoir, Wilson chronicles her career, weight issues, and sexuality. After starting out in her native Australia, she moved to Hollywood in 2010 and made her breakthrough with a supporting role in the hit comedy Bridesmaids. Her other credits include Pitch Perfect, Jojo Rabbit, and the Cats movie. In 2017, she was awarded a record-breaking $4.5 million in Australia’s largest defamation payout, arguing that a series of magazine articles published by Bauer Media had wrongly portrayed her as a serial liar.
