When Andy started throwing dollar amounts such as $20 million, $30 million and $50 million, though Wilson insisted she still would not work with him.
Wilson had previously hinted at working with a, 'massive a-hole,' in social media posts, which she confirmed was Cohen in late March.
She added that the aforementioned star had even hired a PR firm and was sending her threats, before she revealed it was Cohen in a March 25 Instagram post.
'I will not be bullied or silenced with high priced lawyer or PR crisis managers. The ‘a**hole’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is Sacha Baron Cohen,' she said.
Before she revealed his identity, she hinted that her experience with Cohen had lead her to adopt a 'no a-holes' policy.
'When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, yeah, "I have a no a**hole policy, means like, yeah, I don’t work with a**holes.’ I was like, "Oh yeah. I mean, that sounds sensible or logical." But then it really sunk in because I worked with a massive a**hole and yeah, now I definitely have a no a**holes policy,' she said.
Shortly after filming wrapped in 2014, Wilson said on a radio show that Cohen, who also co-wrote and produced the film, was trying to get her to go naked constantly.
'Every day he’s like, "Just go naked, it will be funny. Remember in Borat when I did that naked scene? It was hilarious,"' Wilson said.

She added, 'On the last day, I thought I’d obviously won the argument, and he got a body double to do the naked scene.'
Wilson added that during the final scene of Grimsby, Cohen asked her to, 'stick your finger up my butt,' though she mentioned it wasn't in the script.
He told her, 'Look, I’ll just pull down my pants, you just stick your finger up my butt, it’ll be a really funny bit.'

During her appearance on WWHL, Wilson was also asked if others she wrote about in the book had reached out, aside from Cohen.
'Well, the book is kind of fairly new out, and we kept it embargoed so people couldn't read it. But yes, I think sometimes when you share your truth, it can make other people very uncomfortable. So yeah, I have had a couple texts and we'll have to have some conversations when I'm not out promoting the book. Yeah, it's so hard to be so vulnerable and open,' she said.
'As you can tell. I embarrass myself most of all with stuff I write, but yeah, but then sometimes when other people read about themselves, you know,' she said.
