Ever since Rebel Wilson announced her memoir, Rebel Rising, the drama has been coming thick and fast.
One of the most explosive allegations in the book is an entire chapter dedicated to ‘a**hole’ Sacha Baron Cohen, who 44-year-old Wilson claims sexually harassed her on set of 2016 film The Brother’s Grimsby, when she was cast as his on-screen girlfriend - something he has denied.
It has left fans wondering when his wife, actress Isla Fisher, will speak out - if at all.
A quick look at the cast for The Brother’s Grimsby shows that 48-year-old Fisher played a supporting role in the film as Jodie Figgis.

For those unfamiliar with the allegations so far - Wilson alleges that 54-year-old Baron Cohen kept pressuring her to get naked, despite her belief it was ‘irrelevant’ to the plot.
She also claimed in an excerpt of Rebel Rising seen by PEOPLE Magazine: “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!!'

“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'."
She has also claimed the alleged sexual harassment incident with Baron Cohen led to her 'eating issues'.
Baron Cohen has completely refuted Wilson’s claims via a spokesperson, who said: "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."
Today (4 April), many people are suggesting Fisher has broken her silence about the allegations surrounding her husband, despite not addressing the claims directly.

In a snap uploaded to her Instagram last night, Fisher was pictured alongside fellow actress Naomi Watts, Bruna Papandrea and Michelle Dockery as they attended the theatre show The Hills of California.
Fisher captioned the photo: “Girls night at the theater.”
Baron Cohen and Fisher were married in 2010, and have three children together.

Others believe Fisher has made a separate reference to the claims.
Wilson first took to Instagram to talk about her ‘no a**hole’ policy on March 15 - though at that time she had not named Baron Cohen. Despite this, many people were commenting his name and guessing Wilson was referring to him.
Two days later, on March 17, Fisher posted a photo of two Barbie dolls squinting and looking to the side, simply captioning it: “Mood.”

One user commented: “Tell your husband to do better. Listening to Rebel Wilson’s story honestly made me sick because I’ve always had such respect for Sacha’s work. I hope he takes time to make things right with her and all things behind scenes as to how he has made others feel.”
TYLA has contacted a representative of Fisher for comment.
