World News – UA – Rudy Giuliani faces questions after compromising scene in new Borat movie

Trump’s personal lawyer had an indiscreet meeting with the actor playing Borat’s daughter in a hotel room during the pandemic

Rudy Giuliani’s reputation could be taken to another blow with the release of some very embarrassing streaks in Sacha Baron Cohen’s follow-up to Borat

In the film, released Friday, the former New York mayor and current personal attorney for Donald Trump is seen rummaging through his pants and apparently touching his genitals while lying on a bed in presence of the actor playing Borat’s daughter, who poses as a television journalist

Following a obsequious interview for a bogus conservative news program, the couple withdrew on their suggestion for a drink in a hotel suite room, which is rigged with hidden cameras

After removing his mic, Giuliani, 76, can be seen lying on the bed, playing with his shirt not tucked in and putting his hand in his pants They are then interrupted by Borat who runs up and says: « She is 15 years old She is too old for you »

News of the incident first emerged on July 7, when Giuliani called New York Police to report the intrusion of an unusually dressed man

“This guy comes running up in some crazy outfit, what I would say is a pink transgender outfit,” Giuliani told the New York Post “It was a pink bikini, with lace, under a translucent mesh top, it looked absurd He had a beard, bare legs and was not what I would call a distracting attraction « This person comes yelling and screaming, and I thought it was was a scam or a shakedown so I reported it to the police He then ran away, ”said Giuliani Police found that no crime had been committed

Giuliani continued, “I only realized later that it was Sacha Baron Cohen I thought about all the people he had fooled before and I felt good about myself because he didn’t did not understand me « 

Viewers may be less convinced that Baron Cohen, reprising his role as clumsy journalist Borat Sagdiyev, and Maria Bakalova, who plays his daughter, Tutar, have failed

In the film, Borat is sent back by the Kazakh government to the United States to present a bribe to an ally of Donald Trump in order to convince his country to the administration Once the monkey nominated for the gift is indisposed, the supposedly minor offspring of Borat becomes the replacement gift

Before even putting his hand in his pants, Giuliani does not seem to perform in a particularly impressive way during the meeting Flattered and naughty, he drinks scotch, coughs, fails to distance himself socially and claims that Trump’s quick actions in the spring saved a million Americans from Covid deaths He also agrees – in theory at least – to eat a bat with his interviewer

Giuliani became a key figure in the later stages of the US presidential election after he obtained a laptop hard drive allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and left in a Delaware repair shop

His efforts to unearth political filth over Trump’s White House rival mean the film’s mortifying images can be seen as an attempt to undermine Giuliani’s credibility The film, which released on Amazon Prime less than a fortnight before elections, ends with an instruction for viewers to vote

Although unhappy, the circumstances of the set-up seem consensual, with Giuliani suggesting he was being courted 24-year-old Bakalova is very plausible in the sting, although she must also claim, for the benefit of viewers, being a wild child pretending to be a far-right journalist

As with the first film, which grossed $ 262 million when it was released in 2006 and won a Golden Globe for Baron Cohen, the most disturbing scenes are those that reveal deep-seated prejudices among the American people.

Baron Cohen’s real life shows itself against the platforms which he says allow anti-Semitism, are echoed in the film, in which Borat learns via Facebook that the Holocaust « was nothing short of other than a fairy tale « 

It is corrected following a conversation with two elderly Jewish women, one of whom, Judith Dim Evans, died after filming, aged 88 Last week, her estate filed a lawsuit against the filmmakers, saying she was « horrified and upset » upon learning that « the film was in fact a comedy intended to poke fun at the Holocaust and Jewish culture »

However, Deadline suggests that the filmmakers rated Dim Evans as the real targets of the film after his scenes were filmed, and that there is footage of this also being said to be hoping his family can reconsider once. that they will have seen the film, which ends with a dedication to Dim Evans and a link to a website set up in his honor
