Rebel Wilson’s memoir will finally be published in Australia but with an entire chapter on her account of working with Sacha Baron Cohen redacted - weeks after it was published in its entirety in the US.
HarperCollins Australia confirmed to the Guardian that “for legal reasons we have redacted one chapter in the Australian/New Zealand edition and included an explanatory note accordingly. That chapter is a very small part of a much bigger story and we’re excited for readers to know Rebel’s story when the book is released, on Wednesday 8 May.”
The chapter, titled Sacha Baron Cohen and Other Assholes, will be printed entirely as blacked out lines in Australia and New Zealand.
This means the Australian edition of Rebel Rising will be the most affected of all versions of the Australian actor’s book. Differences in defamation law around the world have determined how much of the chapter can be included.
TalkTV's JJ Anisiobi is joined by showbiz journalist Rebecca Twomey to discuss.
