Plaintiff Says “Bruno” Lawsuit Will Stick
The lawyer for a woman suing Sacha Baron Cohen thinks they may have hit the jackpot with their new lawsuit.

As a reminder, plaintiff Richelle Olson says that Cohen — while in character as Bruno — ambushed bingo night, assaulted her, and left her in bad shape. Her attorney just released a statement warning the legal community not to count out this lawsuit just because several other lawsuits against Cohen for his Borat antics were dismissed. Kyle Madison, Esq., says:
The actions of Mr. Cohen and those acting in concert with him have sresulted in life-altering injuries to my Client. My focus is her well-being and to securitre a faire, just and equitable remedy for her claims. This claim is distinguishable from Mr. Cohen’s previous lawsuits as a Defendant.
Um, just saying it’s “distinguishable” doesn’t mean it is! Mr. lawyer, you gotta give us more than that. Did the plaintiff sign a release? If she did, your client may be out of luck, unfortunately.
