AceShowbiz - Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher's divorce battle heats up over her divorce comments. Once one of Hollywood's adored couples, the couple is now embroiled in a highly publicized $75 million divorce battle.
This comes on the heels of Fisher breaking her silence about their split and emphasizing the vital support she's received from women in her life, comments that have reportedly left Cohen feeling "utterly betrayed."
Fisher spoke with The Sunday Times to promote her role in "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy" and candidly addressed her personal turmoil following their separation after thirteen years of marriage.
"The women in my life have held me," Fisher noted. "The female relationships that I cultivated in our business, those women have been there for me. I'm actually going to get emotional."
"I've learnt so much about the power of female friendship and I've just learnt that I do have resilience, who I am outside of a partnership, and what my values are. It has been this expansive learning curve."
Her heartfelt reflections appeared to be more than just personal sharing to Cohen. Sources close to Cohen told the Daily Mail that he interpreted Fisher's statements as a subtle dig at him and covert endorsement of Rebel Wilson's bombshell accusations against him.
Wilson, in her autobiography, accused Cohen of inappropriate behavior on the set of their 2016 film, "The Brothers Grimsby," and further alleged that he tried to block her book. Cohen has vehemently denied these allegations, with his representatives stating that Wilson's claims are "demonstrably false."
While acknowledging the hard times she's facing post-divorce, Fisher has maintained a vision of hopeful co-parenting, comparing it to her own parents' amicable separation. In contrast, Cohen feels the need to protect his reputation in the face of the allegations and the fracture in his private life.
As their divorce proceedings unfold, the industry and fans alike are watching closely, waiting to see how their story will conclude.
