Rebel Wilson has lashed out at a Hollywood star who allegedly "threatened her" when she revealed her plans to out his behavior in her new book.

Wilson, renowned for her candidness, disclosed that she has dedicated an entire chapter in her forthcoming book to tell all about her encounters with what she terms a "massive a**hole" in the entertainment industry.

The 44-year-old actress, known for her roles in hits like Pitch Perfect, explained all on her Instagram story, stating: "Now the a**hole is trying to threaten me.

"He’s hired a crisis PR manager and lawyers. He’s trying to stop press coming out about my new book. But the book WILL come out and you will all know the truth."

Wilson's decision to name the individual in question has evidently stirred a response from the concerned party, who has reportedly taken legal action to deter her from further disclosures.

In an earlier discussion about the chapter addressing her experiences in Hollywood, the Australian comedian explained how her encounter with the unnamed star led her to adopt a strict "no a**holes" policy regarding future professional engagements, per News.com.au.

"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,'" Wilson said.

"Because I worked with a massive a**hole, and, yeah, now I definitely have an a**holes policy."

In other Wilson-related news, in the summer of 2023, she explained that she had been "banned" from Disneyland over a photo she took in the restroom.

The actress found herself facing a 30-day ban from the theme park after committing what she described as a "cardinal sin" within its walls - taking a photo in a secret bathroom.

Confessing her misdemeanor on The Daily Show with guest host and comedian Hasan Minhaj, Wilson said: "I took a photo inside a secret bathroom, which is illegal, at Disneyland."

It seems like Disney was pretty cool with everything though, as Wilson went on: "They called me up and said, 'Rebel, what 30 days did you not want to come to Disneyland because you’ll be filming a movie or something?'"

She said: "Disneyland has like Met Gala rules, where they’re like 'no photos here,' but then you break it and they’re like 'look, we have to punish you, but looking at your Google calendar, what month works for you?'"

Fans and Disney enthusiasts speculated that the infamous selfie might have been taken in the ultra-exclusive Club 33, an elite institution requiring hefty membership fees for entry.
