Sacha Baron Cohen's studio Universal Pictures, the distributor of the comedian’s upcoming film Bruno, defended him against the lawsuit of Richelle Olson.
Olson claimed that she was left disabled due to an incident during the filming of Bruno wherein she received "life-altering injuries" following a scuffle with Cohen at a charity bingo tournament.
Universal Pictures released a statement that read, "The allegations made by Richelle and Lance Olson in their complaint are completely baseless. Filmed footage of the full encounter, which took place more than two years ago, clearly shows that Ms. Olson was never touched or in any way assaulted by Sacha Baron Cohen or any member of the production and suffered no injury. If the Olsons elect to proceed with their frivolous action, we expect each of the defendants to be fully vindicated."
