Well, it's all in the book (...) Oh, and YES,
I name the idiot

For this reason, the actress anticipated any other maneuver and this Monday she revealed the name of the “imbecile” she had spoken about in the previous post.
“I will not be silenced by expensive lawyers or public relations crisis managers.
The idiot I talk about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen

Essentially a comedian, Cohen is known for playing characters that raise the bar for politically incorrect, such as
Ali G
,
Borat
or the dictator
Aladeen
.
Off screen he is known for his practical jokes.
At the 2009 MTV Awards, for example, he jumped from the roof with a harness and landed on Eminem, who left the ceremony "angry" for that reason.
The quotes are because it would later be known that everything had been rehearsed in complicity with the rapper.
In 2013, his name also made headlines for throwing an alleged elderly woman in a wheelchair off the stage.
