"Bruno" gets sued by overly dramatic liar


The woman who sued Sacha Baron Cohen over a "Bruno" attack now says the actor never struck her, but beat her down emotionally to the point she's now confined to a wheelchair.

Richelle Olson has amended her lawsuit against Cohen, NBC Universal and others, claiming Cohen and his crew were "replete with deceit, fraud and misrepresentation" when they contacted the charity she ran, offering to send a "celebrity" to her charity bingo tournament for the elderly.

Olson claims the character Bruno showed up and began calling bingo numbers "using vulgar and offensive language over the loud speaker system." She says she asked him to stop but he didn't, and the film crew captured her "humiliating emotional reaction"

The suit claims Olson left the stage, went into a side room, began sobbing uncontrollably and lost consciousness, falling headfirst into a concrete slab. As a result, she's confined to a wheelchair and a walker.

She's suing for unspecified damages. And, we're told, the scene was cut from the movie. Welcome to Hollywood.

Bullshit Central

edit; This is what her first lawsuit stated:

The papers allege that Cohen “offensively touched, pushed and battered” Olson, causing her to fall to the ground, where camera operators filming the event rushed on to the stage and “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 says she was so upset by the incident that she left the room and passed out “falling forward onto the thinly covered concrete slab causing her to hit her head.”  Olson was admitted to the hospital where she was diagnosed with “two brain bleeds” and claims she has been confined to a wheelchair and walker since the incident.
