鈥淚 will not be bullied or silenced with high priced lawyer or PR crisis managers,鈥 Wilson wrote on her Instagram stories on Monday. 鈥淭he 鈥榓**hole鈥 that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is Sacha Baron Cohen.鈥

鈥淲hen I first came to Hollywood, people were like, yeah, 鈥業 have a no a**hole policy, means like, yeah, I don鈥檛 work with a**holes.鈥 I was like, 鈥極h yeah. I mean, that sounds sensible or logical. But then it really sunk in because I worked with a massive a**hole and yeah, now I definitely have a no a**holes policy,鈥 Wilson said in a shared on Instagram earlier this month.

In a 2016 interview with , Wilson spoke about Baron Cohen wanting her to film a nude scene in 鈥淭he Brothers Grimsby,鈥 which she declined.

鈥淵ou want to know that the people (behind the camera) have a certain sensibility and decency,鈥 Wilson said at the time. 鈥淎nd a lot of times in comedy they鈥檙e not those people.鈥

鈥淩ebel Rising鈥 is due to release on April 2.
