While no one has ever heard her share this kind of news before, the comedy actress detailed how the incident happened. She further added:
''We were on this cattle truck and these men came on another truck with a lot of guns, they pulled up beside us, with the big guns and they were like, 'Yeah, you've got to get off your truck.''
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.
She also disclosed that as soon as they got to the home where the gun-men took them, she asked her friends to link arms together.
''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.
According to the Pitch Perfect actress, the gun-men probably used their truck for heinous activities.
She and her friends never asked any questions as soon as they were released as the actress revealed that they just returned to their truck and left that place as fast as they could.
They later crossed the South Africa border a few hours later after their ordeal.
''I think maybe those guys used us to smuggle illegal things in the bottom of the truck.'' she elucidated.
