Isla’s New Movie Will Apparently Have A Lot Of Nods To Her Divorce
It's being reported that Isla has signed on for her first movie role since the divorce; she’ll be starring in a film aptly titled Divorcees. Fisher will take on the lead role, with an insider telling In Touch that fans can “expect lots of subtle references to her own life.”
The movie, penned by Kimmy Gatewood and Alison Becker, with Gatewood directing, follows the journey of three divorced women seeking revenge on their ex-husbands by attending a family wedding with the most attractive dates they can find. Through comedic narrative, they navigate the complexities of love and redefine their perceptions of divorce.
For now, Fisher hasn’t commented on the project, though it’s already got fans theorizing that the notoriously private actress may use it as an outlet to share her side of the break-up.
Following various reports the couple had been leading separate lives for some time, Baron Cohen and Fisher addressed the speculation via their Instagram stories to release a joint statement. “After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down. In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage,” it said.
“We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change,” they continued. “We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”
Sacha And Isla Announced Their Divorce After Rebel Wilson’s Shocking Claims
Reports claim that sources reveal Baron Cohen had consulted Hollywood attorneys towards the end of the previous year, with court filings since confirming that the couple is indeed in the process of ending their marriage. However, the divorce proceedings are said to be underway in London, where the couple resides.
“They have been living separate lives since last year but wanted to give this space and time for their children to be OK with this before the news came out and they got all this attention,” a source told Us Weekly before their divorce was confirmed. “They are notoriously very private people and wanted to focus on their family.”
Isla and Sasha announced their divorce shortly after actress Rebel Wilson made a series of revelations about working with Cohen on The Brothers Grismby in 2016, saying he made the work environment hostile and referring to him as a “massive a**hole.”
In the book, titled Rebel Rising, the Pitch Perfect star devotes a chapter to detailing her negative experiences with the star, alleging instances of humiliation and inappropriate demands. Wilson has further claimed that Cohen even made attempts to intimidate her before the release of her book.
Fisher and Cohen have not publicly responded to Wilson’s claims.
