Now, excerpts from the book have been released, and it sheds lights on details about Wilson’s alleged experience with Cohen on the set of their movie Grimsby, which they filmed back in 2014.

Once they began filming, Wilson claims that Cohen (SBC) would keep requesting her to go “naked” in a scene, reports People.

She wrote: “It felt like every time I’d speak to SBC, he’d mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene. I was like, ‘Ha, I don’t do nudity, Sacha.’ ”

Wilson alleges that things then intensified while they were filming a scene in Cape Town at a soccer stadium.

“SBC summons me via a production assistant saying that I’m needed to film an additional scene. ‘Okay, well, we’re gonna film this extra scene,’ SBC says. Then he pulls his pants down … SBC says very matter-of-factly: ‘Okay, now I want you to stick your finger up my ass.’ And I’m like, ‘What?? … No!!’ …”

Wilson then continues to allege in the book: “I was now scared. I wanted to get out of there, so I finally compromised: I slapped him on the ass and improvised a few lines as the character.”

Cohen has denied Wilson’s account of the day in question, and also provided People with anonymous statements from those involved with the movie disputing her claims.

“While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby,” a statement from Cohen’s team said in response to Wilson’s allegations.

news.com.au has reached out to Cohen’s representatives for comment.

Speaking about the chapter in her new book earlier this year, the Aussie comedian revealed that working with whom we know to be Cohen forced her to adopt a “no a**holes” policy going forward when it came to taking jobs.

“When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, ‘Yeah, I have a no-a**holes policy that means, like, I don’t work with a**holes’. I was like, ‘Yeah, I mean, that sounds sensible and logical.’”

She continued: “But then it really sunk in what they were meaning by that, older people in the industry. Because I worked with a massive a**hole, and, yeah, now I definitely have a a**holes policy. Chapter on said a**hole – it is chapter 23, that guy was a massive a**hole.”
