Sacha Baron Cohen’s legal team has acted quickly to dismiss claims the actor assaulted a bingo caller, E! online report. Earlier this month Richelle Olson filed legal charges against Cohen and film company NBC Universal claiming she was assaulted during a prank for the new Brüno film. Olson ran a charity bingo game in Palmdale, California when she claims she met Cohen, dressed as an “extreme, outrageous, offensive caricature of a gay man dressed in sexually revealing clothing with an Austrian accent.” Olson says a physical struggle ensued where she was “offensively touched, pushed and battered” after ‘Brüno’ had used “vulgar and offensive language” on the bingo mic. The legal complaint goes on to say that Olson was assaulted by members of the film crew, “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.” Olson claims the incident caused her to “sob uncontrollably” and pass out “falling forward onto the thinly covered concrete slab, causing her to hit her head.” The suit says Olson was diagnosed with “two brain bleeds” and has been confined to a wheelchair since. However, the comedian’s legal team denied the claims and demanded an immediate dismissal. “Your clients’ claims are demonstrably and ludicrously false. This is proven beyond and doubt by the actual unedited and unaltered film footage. If a photograph is worth a thousand words, this film footage is a reference library,” Lawyers Smith Dehn LLP write. “The actual footage demonstrates that Mr. Baron Cohen never touched Ms. Olson, much less assaulted her. To the contrary, Ms. Olson assaulted Mr. Baron Cohen, grabbing his arms from behind and attempting to pull him out of a chair. The footage shows that Ms. Olson never ‘fell to the ground,’ nor was she injured in any way. Putting aside the impossibility of a camera crew physically attacking Ms. Olson while at the same time filming her, the actual footage reveals that the number of crew members and other persons who attacked your client is zero. The footage reveals that your client’s allegations are a complete fabrication. If you do not file a voluntary dismissal of the complaint with prejudice our clients will avail themselves of every legal remedy against you and your clients.”
