AceShowbiz - Isla Fisher is unfazed by the disturbing allegations surrounding her husband Sacha Baron Cohen. On Wednesday, April 3, the Australian actress broke her social media silence with a happy picture after Rebel Wilson accused the comedian of sexually harassing her.
In the new post, Isla could be seen posing with her pals Naomi Watts and Michelle Dockery as they spent time together in London. The group appeared to have a good time as they all flashed huge smiles while inside London's Harold Pinter Theatre for "The Hills of California".
"Girls night at the theater @hoctheplay @naomiwatts @brunapapandrea #michelledockery," so Isla, who looked chic in an all-black outfit for the occasion, wrote in the caption.
Isla's happy outing with her girl pals came a few weeks after Rebel came forward with bombshell allegations against Sacha. The "Pitch Perfect" star revealed in her memoir "Rebel Rising" that the actor would ask her to strip off for scenes despite her "no nudity" rule when they worked together in 2016's comedy "The Brothers Grimsby".
In a memoir passage, obtained by PEOPLE, the Australian actress claimed that the "Borat" star requested she "stick her finger up his a**" because he thought it would make a funny scene in the film. Rebel stressed that "it felt like [he] had sexually harassed me."
She also wrote that she felt "completed disrespected, which led to me treating myself with even more disrespect by eating in an extremely unhealthy way." Rebel also said that her co-star would repeatedly "mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene," which she claimed was in "no way essential" to the film's plot.
"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," the "Bridesmaids" actress shared. She added that she agreed to a sex scene with Sacha following several rewrites and recalled allegedly telling the producers that she wouldn't be promoting the film ahead of its release.
Sacha, however, denied the allegations. "While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence," his rep said on Monday, March 25, "including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of 'The Brothers Grimsby'."
