Tuesday, June 15 2010

A woman who sued actor Sacha Baron Cohen for allegedly ruining her bingo game while filming Bruno lost her case.

Richelle Olson sued Cohen and NBC for $25,000, claiming the Bruno star deliberately sabotaged her bingo game, causing her emotional distress.  Olson further claimed she was physically damaged with magical, non-medical ailments after she tried to remove the microphone from Cohen while in her wheelchair.

After viewing the entire event, which was taped for the movie and proved that Cohen never had physical contact with Olson, the judge reportedly rolled his eyes, ruled against Olson, and told her she would have to cover Cohen’s $17,000 worth of legal fees.
