Cohen’s ‘Bruno’ Is Getting Sued

bruno1_440x6411 Cohens Bruno Is Getting Sued

Sacha Baron Cohen’s newest character is making quit the splash all over the country… an now he’s getting sued for it. Richelle Olson is suing both Cohen and NBC Universal for an incident in 2007 in Palmdale, CA. She had the ’star’ come in to call a bingo game at the elderly folks home where she worked and was not happy when Bruno came in. She described him as an “extreme, outrageous, offensive caricature of a gay man dressed in sexually revealing clothing with an Austrian accent…”

Olson alleges Bruno used “vulgar and offensive language” and when she tried taking the mic from him, a “physical struggle ensued” and Cohen “offensively touched, pushed and battered” her, causing her to fall to the ground.

She then claims three cameramen and others rushed the stage … “where defendants attacked [her] for a period of one to five minutes to intentionally create a dramatic emotional response … while [they] recorded her humiliation and embarrassment.”

After the alleged assault was over, the suit says Olson went into another room where she was “sobbing uncontrollably” … then was rendered unconscious … “falling forward onto the thinly covered concrete slab, passing out and causing her to hit her head.”

The suit says Olson was rushed to the hospital with a “diagnosis of two brain bleeds” — and that she has been confined to a wheelchair and walker ever since.

Olson — the Executive Director of Desert Valley Charities — and her husband are suing for unspecified damages, including loss of marital relations

  1. I’m the only person I know that feels this way, but I’m over that guy. I didn’t care for Borat. Had maybe one or two funny parts. He doesn’t seem like a huge deal to me. If I were that lady, I’d be just as pissed.
