Rebel Wilson breaks her silence hours after Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher split amid reports the actress' claims 'WERE the catalyst for his break-up'

Rebel Wilson has broken her silence just hours after Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher announced their split.

The British actor, 52 and the Australian actress, 48, announced on Friday that they had quietly separated last year by sharing a bizarre snap posing in tennis outfits. 

After 14 years of marriage, it has been reported that Rebel's claims in her memoir Rebel Rising 'were the catalyst' for the couple announcing the end of their marriage. 

The Pitch Perfect star made shock claims about her experience with the 'a**hole' comedian, claiming Sacha told her to strip off when filming scenes for the 2016 comedy The Brothers Grimsby.

And now Rebel, 44, has taken to social media to share a video posing up a storm in a satin green dress, with the caption: 'What a week!'

In the short clip, Rebel is being photographed recined on the sofa, in the midst of promoting her bombshell memoir.

Dressed in the glamorous wrap dress, Rebel stuck her tongue out and gave the peace sign as Stop by the Spice Girls played in the background. 

She captioned the snap: 'What a week! I need a lie down on the couch now… for real! Thank you so much to everyone who has bought REBEL RISING and is already enjoying it! Love you'.

In a second clip Rebel is being pictured standing up as she poses confidently with her arms crossed across her chest as Kylie Minogue's Padam Padam plays.  

Rebel also shared a link on her story to her live show in Los Angeles where she will sit down for an 'in person with conversation' with Jess Cagle to discuss her controversial new memoir.

After posting a link to to tickets for the show, the star also promoted her new book as she revealed that while the book is available to buy in the US, it isn't quite ready for sale in the UK and Australia.

She wrote: 'UK and AUS momentarily delayed by an a**hole but not for long.'

While Sacha has strongly denied ever mistreating Rebel or pressuring her to be naked in the film,  friends of the star couple have revealed the allegations were the final straw in the decision to make their split public.

Isla confirmed the split on Instagram with a snap of the pair in tennis outfits and wrote: 'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down'

A source told The Sun Isla was 'starting to get embarrassed' about the claims in the book, which acted as 'a catalyst' in her decision to announce their split and allowed her to protect her 'own career and reputation'.

Another source close to the couple added that the 'decision wasn't taken lightly' and there is 'still a lot of love' between Isla and Sacha, who 'remain incredibly close'. 

A source told The Sun: 'Rebel's book was a catalyst in Isla deciding to announce this to the world. 

'She's got her own career and reputation to worry about.

'Those close to her said it was starting to get embarrassing with all of the allegations that were spilling out of Rebel's book.

'So she felt as though it was the right thing to do to inform everyone of their decision. 

'Sacha, on the other hand did not want that. He has been making as though it's business as usual before they made this announcement.' 

Another source close to the couple added: 'They have been having difficulties for some time and have battled to make things work.

'They didn't want to throw their love away for the sake of their family. Privately, though, friends were made aware.

'They went to great lengths to keep things 'business as usual' on social media so as to control the narrative in a way they both felt comfortable with.

'This decision wasn't taken lightly and they remain incredibly close. There's still a lot of love there.'

The couple first met back in 2001 and tied the knot in 2010. They are parents to daughters Olive, 17 and Elula, 13, and son Montgomery, nine.

The statement announcing their split read: 'After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.

'In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change.

'We forever share in our devotion and love for our children We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy.'

Rebel played Sacha's on-screen girlfriend in the 2016 Louis Leterrier-directed film and has made a series of allegations about her uncomfortable experience during shooting.

Rebel claimed that during filming, Sacha would repeatedly 'mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene', which she alleged was in 'no way essential' to the film's plot.

In her book, which was released in the US on Tuesday, 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'.'

Rebel claimed that she was allegedly summoned by a product assistant for an additional scene while shooting in Cape Town, South Africa. 

Rebel said: 'OK, well, we're gonna film this extra scene,' SBC says. 'Then he pulls his pants down', SBC says very matter-of-factly: 'OK, now I want you to stick your finger up my a**.' And I'm like, 'What?? … No!!''

 Isla and UK-born Sacha met at a party in Sydney in 2001 and married nine years later 

She shockingly alleged Sacha requested she 'stick her finger up his a**' because he thought it would make a funny scene in the film as she claimed 'it felt like [he] had sexually harassed me'

Rebel claimed she was shocked and wanted to get out of it, adding: '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 also claimed she only agreed to a sex scene with Sacha after several rewrites and recalled allegedly telling the producers that she wouldn't be promoting the film ahead of its release.

However, newly emerged footage from the sex scene in the 2016 film seems to show that the action was part of the script and the actress was on board with the scene.

Several never-before-seen clips from the movie that failed to make the final cut were obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com and depict Rebel and Sarah's characters using a cellphone to film themselves getting intimate.

In the clips, Rebel can be heard discussing the scene while on camera but out of character, telling Sacha: 'I'll do a slap [of your butt] and I'll do a – going down the crack', to which he replies: 'It's almost as if you're going to ram your fingers inside,' prompting her to answer 'yeah'.

According to those close to Sacha, director Louis Leterrier had to discuss any nudity or sex scenes with Rebel before they were shot. They say she agreed to the scene.

They also say that the cell phone was used because the movie called for Rebel and Sacha's characters Dawn and Nobby to use an iPhone to film themselves having sex.

However, in a statement given to DailyMail.com, Rebel doubled down on her book's description of Sacha as an 'a**hole'.

'It is an a**hole move to release footage of one part of that disgusting episode while leaving out everything that preceded it including my horrified refusal to stick my finger up SBC's butt,' she said.

'This could not have possibly been for the film as the director Louis Leterrier was not even present,' she claimed.

'What this edited video shows is what I had to do in order to get out of the room, as written in Rebel Rising. Releasing unauthorized and misleading behind the scenes video without my approval is SBC's latest way of bullying and gaslighting me.'

Earlier this week it was revealed that the sale of Rebel's hotly anticipated tell-all memoir Rebel Rising had been delayed indefinitely in Australia.

The book, which was due to go on sale on Wednesday, has been pulled from both online and physical book stores.

Buyers attempting to get the book on Amazon were notified that the title was 'currently unavailable' and that 'we don't know when or if this item will be back in stock'.

The book's publisher, Harper Collins Australia, told Yahoo Lifestyle that, 'Publication of Rebel Rising has been delayed but we have no further comment.'
