Sacha In Legal Troubles (Again)
Filed under: Film Flickers > Legal Matters > Sacha Baron Cohen
Has Sacha Baron Cohen finally gone too far??? The funnyman is being sued by Richelle Olson, Executive Director of Desert Valley Charities, who claims he left her crippled after an incident at a Bingo hall in 2007.
According to Olson, she was told Bruno was a celebrity and would be making an appearance at a charity bingo game she held for the elderly in Palmdale, CA.
However, she wasn't too pleased when she saw Bruno, describing him as an "extreme, outrageous, offensive caricature of a gay man dressed in sexually revealing clothing with an Austrian accent…" who used "vulgar and offensive language."
That's when she tried to take the mic away from him and a "physical struggle ensued" in which Sacha caused her to fall to the floor after he "offensively touched, pushed and battered" her. Then she said three cameramen and others rushed the stage and the "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."
WTF?!?! Somehow that sounds highly exaggerated.
Also, the Bruno movie wasn't being filmed in 2007, lady!
Olson was then taken into another room where she started "sobbing uncontrollably" and then became unconscious "falling forward onto the thinly covered concrete slab, passing out and causing her to hit her head."
She had to be rushed to the hospital and received a "diagnosis of two brain bleeds", which she claims has confined her to a wheelchair and walker ever since.
Olson and her hubby are now $uing for unspecified damages. Oh, and they're also suing for loss of marital relations. You know, cuz not being able to walk stops you from having sex?
We smell someone seeking a lot of money. And it stinks!

I call bullshit.
Bruno MOVIE might not have been filming in 2007 but his ALY-G SHOW probably was!!!
This is a crazy exageration though…. he can't be3 held responsable if she fell and hit her head when she was alone. Stupid!
AND HOW WOULD YOU KNOW FATSO GAY BOY!! WHERE YOU THERE WHEN THIS HAPPENED? IF THAT FUCKING GAY DOUCHE SBC CAN PULL OFF THE EMINEM STUNT ON MTV WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS FUCKER PULLED ON AN UNSUSPECTING OLD GEEZER. NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS LAME LOSER HAS BEEN IN A LAWSUIT.
Sounds like a load of Octomom to me.
good god, talk about a frivolous lawsuit. this richelle woman needs to get over herself, grow a sense of humour and move on. what a complete crock of shit.
Hopefully, the matter will be resolved to everyones benefit.
.
Sacha can take it too far, and accidents do happen.
.
Still love him!
.
Hope this old woman can find some peace.
I hope that the MF loses his ass. I HATE him. There is absolutly NOTHING funny in what that ugly SOB says or does. Fuck em !!
Cohen is obnoxious.
hmmm a couple post ago with Wonders kid everyone wanted to hang the guy, now people are saying crap like it was an accident or bullshit.
..
So funny how we all judge without knowing the truth…
hey tubby were you there, ibet u weren't so lets give the lady the benefit of the doubt. i really do not believe some lady woke up one morning and said to her self i am gonna sue someone today.. then i guess she proceeded to spin a wheel and it just happens to land on the character bruno. sascha baron cohen was obviously at the bingo night, how else would this women know of him, she is not his target audience. so lets settle down on caling this women a liar until u can get some facts.
Love this guy!!
at that age all her husband wants are bj's anyways, she can still do that in a wheelchair
Well, YOU weren't there fat ass, because we all know you live in Paris Hilton's ass crack, difficult to see from there right? Anyway, this is a legal matter that has TWO sides to it, and YOURS is not one of them you fat dog turd.
If this chaotic scene was taped, then she has a good case against him. Thank goodness for insurance!
true or not, this person needs to be held accountable for his very childish ways. i mean, it's one thing to promote a movie, but clearly he has multiple personalities. i don't get off of seeing people like that embarass others just for laughs! sbc is a total douche!
Re: anikabella –
Ya except you're wrong. Da Ali G Show stopped airing in 2004.
This woman is full of shit. She says it was a "caricature of a gay man" and that he had "an Austrian accent". If she didn't know who he was and thought Bruno was a celebrity, she would've thought he actually was gay…as if there aren't any flaming gays out there! And secondly, the language is German! I speak standard German and I can't tell the accents apart by region. As if she would know that the accent is Austrian and not just a German language accent in general. And on top of that she goes ahead and sues him 2 years after it happened?? I call bullshit.
This does sound way exaggerated, she is just trying to get money from him and maybe she should he embarrassed the crap out of her. and BTW perez the movie might not have been filming but Sacha Baron Cohen has been doing Bruno for quite some time. anyone ever see the Ali G show?
Hey Pee, you shouldn't spew shit out of your mouth that you know nothing about. Until you've been in a wheelchair you need to shut the fuck up! Everyone that is in a wheelchair has their own story and different limitations. I know I have been in a chair for the last 9 years. You have no idea what I go through each and every day; as much as I don't like you, I wouldn't wish this on you or anyone else. You may think you are on top of your game but you know what goes around comes around. I would hate to be you!
Sounds like bullshit to me.
EWWWWWWWWWW!
Re: JohnnyD – this isn´t bible class honey
just free publicity (its a lie)
HE IS SO SEXY.MUCH SEXIER THAT ROBERT PATTINSON AND ZACK.HE HAS A NICE ASS AND IS REALLY MACHO!!
that sounds so made up
This is probably nothing Sacha Baron should worry about.
Sounds like someone is fishing for money.
I cannot STAND him, he is NOT FUNNY. Not even remotely so. He is rude and obnoxious and horribly, horribly annoying.
I smell a Rat!
Another money grubber trying to get rich the easy way!
Re: female version of a hustler – #22 THIS IS BEND OVER 101 CLASS.NOW BEND OVER FOR HOT MEAT INJECTION! BITCH!
Who the fuck is this guy?????? Is he a d` lister???
Do people seriously think this a$$hole is funny??? I have yet to see his "work" funny. He's a freaking moron.
This dumbass is so not funny. His last movie sucked and this one will as well. Paris Hilton thinks he is funny so that should be all you need to know that this guy sucks!
Hmm, apparently her mouth still works so I doubt she'll get a thing for her marital relations boo hoo crap. I'm so sick of stupid people and their even more stupid actions.
She forgot to finish the story; here's the rest:
"…and then a large Negro man and his gang came up to me and stole my wallet, then the Mexicans proceeded to rip my clothes off while a Chink proceeded to kick me with his karate moves."
This is so stupid, wow. WOW. Fail, Mrs. Olson. Try harder next time. Wait…no, don't actually. Stop wasting our time and your money.
Oh and Anikabella, they cancelled "Da Ali G Show" long before the movie "Borat" came out in 2006, so there is no way that they could've been filming for an episode in '07.
Re: female version of a hustler – Kiss my ass you moron. You simply can not ignore the word of the Bible and think that it will go away. Eternity is a very long time and those flames in hell are very hot. Better to not ignore the word of God.
He's gross…
What it sounds like is that she and her lawyer took something small and blew it up to appear devastating and tragic. Perhaps I just have too much faith in people, but I don't think that Sacha Baron Cohen would let somebody be physically harmed during one of his stunts. And if a person did happen to get injured, he wouldn't leave him/her hanging if it was his fault.

Tell me sweet little lies

WHATEVER!!!!!!!!! FYI: PEOPLE IN PALMDALE ARE HUGE HOMOPHOBES AND WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO GET $$$$$$$$$$.
THAT OLD WOMAN probably had pre-existing conditions and threw herself onto the floor to get attention. Do NOT BE FOOLED. The ANTELOPE VALLEY IS A TOILET, FULL OF SHIT- just waiting to be FLUSHED! THERE R 3 TYPES OF people who live there: the " I never left" , the " racists" and the " thugs" living of of gov. monies!! GROSS!
How do you know they were not filming? Where you there? Cohn has had a habit of doing this to people everywhere. Grow up Mario
Re: Love Love Me – I completely agree. I love Sasha, but this woman is definately taking it too far. She should also sue everyone around her who didn't catch her when she fell unconscious and the people who own the building for the floors being too hard that it caused her "two brain bleeds" for when SHE fell unconscious.
Palmdale…. haha
The difference between 1-5 minutes is pretty large. Her story sounds bizarre and smells of money grubbing bullshit.
She sounds like a tird, go fall on your smelly ass tird and keep your stink to yourself! … ps Bruno is hilarious!
Heeheehee. Love him.
Dude, you invite Sacha Baron Cohen to an event and shiz will ensue.
I live in palmdale! i am so sad i missed bingo that night!……ha!
PS. I wouldn't exactly call this 'legal trouble' for Sacha BC. Just a minor annoyance in his relentless pursuit of global humiliation and infamy!!
scratch and sniff lawsuit.
Smells like eau de poop.
her story sounds like such bull shit. I find it extremely hard to believe that the cameramen attacker her! pretty sure she's just trying to get money.
"This is NOT a windfall, madam" (Judge Judy)
BOGUS SHIT!!! Tell them people to start making there own money! fuckin Slobs!
I think this guy his hilarious, but performing like this for senior citizens isn't cool. If he really hurt this lady he should pay. It isn't funny when someone gets hurt.
I LOVE BRUNO!!!! GO BRUNO!!!
