No, Eminem’s not suing Sacha Baron Cohen for sexual harassment—but there are lawsuits targeting both Cohen and NBC Universal. Specifically, Richelle Olson, a woman from Palmdale, CA, is suing because she was allegedly hurt in a Bruno stunt. She goes so far as to say she was left wheelchair-bound following a fight at a bingo game for the elderly. “Bruno” launched into some “offensive language” during the proceedings—as should be pretty much expected at this point—and Olson tried to get the mike away from him.
Then things REALLY went off the rails when Olson claims that the camera crew then rushed her and started beating her, when she fled to another room, passed out, and hit her head on the floor. She was diagnosed with two “brain bleeds”, whatever those are, and she’s been in a wheelchair ever since. Interestingly, this all happened in 2007. Yeah, as in “two years ago” 2007.
Anyone else wonder why she waited to sue until just ahead of the movie’s release date?
