Sacha Cohen Sued After Woman Left Disabled During Filming of Bruno

His movie hasn’t even made it to theatres yet, but Sacha Baron Cohen’s character “Bruno” has gotten his share of media attention.

Off the heels of his (staged) incident with Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards over the weekend, it looks like the movie could be involved in a legal battle.

Richelle Olson sued Sacha Cohen and NBC Universal on May 22nd, claiming an incident during the filming of “Bruno” has left her disabled.

The incident happened in a Bingo Hall, where “Bruno” was invited to be a guest celebrity for a charity event. However, people there had no idea what they were getting themselves into. According to the lawsuit, Bruno was using vulgar language and actions, so Olsen tried to take the microphone away from him.

Then a struggle ensued. She claims Cohen called the camera crew over, who then attacked her, hoping to “create a dramatic emotional response”.

The lawsuit states Olsen suffered brain bleeding as a result of the attack. She is now reportedly confined to a walker and wheelchair.

This isn’t the first time a Cohen movie was involved in a lawsuit. During the filming of “Borat”, he was sued several times. However those lawsuits never involved physical injuries.

Ratings Report: Law & Order: SVU Finale Helps NBC Win (Again)

NBC has won the ratings race again Tuesday night, which makes it four in a row.

That’s right folks, you read it right. NBC has won four nights in a row!

The season finale of Law & Order : SVU was the most watched show on TV last night, and won the highest rating with a 3.5.

This victory is bitter-sweet for NBC, while SVU is their top rated drama, they could be losing their two top stars. However it was reported last week that Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay are close to resigning a new deal.

In other Tuesday night ratings news, FOX’s new drama Mental fell 24% in ratings from its debut last week.

Also falling from its premiere of the night before, “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here” fell 19%, despite lots of media attention surrounding their castmates leaving (or not?)

Here’s the rest of the numbers.
