In an excerpt from the book, Wilson alleged that while filming certain scenes, Cohen forced himself on her.
The book which was released on April 2 will see the UK Edition having omitted this part due to legal complications.
Representatives of Cohen accused the publishers of not fact checking the content of the book and have completely denied the accusations levied against the star. They even termed this as demonstrably false in a shameful and failed attempt to sell books.
Wilson thanked all her supporters who stood by her in one of her stories uploaded on Instagram, a social media app owned by Meta. She added “Thank you for sharing your own stories with me. I am so grateful to you and really appreciate it”.
While there are accounts on either side of the divide, the UK publishers have decided to drop this content. The other editions will continue to carry an account of the alleged incident.
