The 40 year old comedian was on a tour with her female friends and were allegedly taken to a house in the middle of nowhere but that did not scare her as she says she handled the situation very well.

Her group of friends looked up to her during that moment and as she explained, she felt like their team leader.

''I was petrified in the night that they might want to take one of the girls or something, luckily we were not harmed and then the next day they came and said, 'your truck is ready now. You can go go go.'' recalled Wilson.
