This little gem appeared online recently and not only given its content but whom the actual lawsuit involves, it guarantees hilarious reactions. Someone who’s not very famous at all named Sacha Baron Cohen decided to make a film about his fictional character, “Bruno”. For one of the film’s gags, he attended a Proposition 8 rally and of course, attempted to offend and irritate as many people as possible.
This did not going without consequence, however. While attending the rally, Cohen and his crew apparently assaulted a protester simply for “laughs” and filmic value. It didn’t go over very well and now, a man named Mark Skiff, is suing Cohen over punitive damages and medical expenses.
According to the gay cameraman, Skiff asserts that Cohen deliberately held negative banners and posters to incite anger and mob-mentality in the gathering. When asked why, Skiff replied that it was “to enhance the drama” of what the team could’ve captured on film. In his closing statement, Mark added that he has, “the right to go about his business free from violence and intimidation directed at his sexual orientation.”
