The new “Borat” movie released today shows Rudy Giuliani in a compromising position, but the former mayor of New York City says the video is “a total fabrication.”
Controversy has swirled this week ahead of the Friday premiere of Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie “Borat,” a satirical look at America that comes less than two weeks before the tightly contested presidential election.
One of the most talked about moments in Borat’s subsequent film involves Rudy Giuliani, the personal attorney of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, being interviewed by an actress who played Baron Cohen’s 15-year-old daughter in the movie.
The scene, filmed in a New York hotel room in July, includes a moment when Giuliani, 76, is lying on a bed with his hand on his pants.
Giuliani, who went to the hotel room thinking he was being interviewed about the Trump administration’s COVID-19 response, can be heard asking for the woman’s phone number and address.
At one point, he also pats her on the lower back.
(1) The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking my shirt on after taking off my recording equipment.
At no time before, during or after the interview was I inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise, he’s a stone-cold liar.

The former New York mayor responded when media reports about the scene first surfaced this week, saying Wednesday that the video is “a complete fabrication.”
“I was tucking my shirt on after taking off my recording equipment,” Giuliani tweeted.
“At no time before, during or after the interview was I inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise, he is a stone cold liar. “
At the end of the scene, a disguised Baron Cohen runs into the room, dressed in pink lingerie, screaming that the woman is 15 years old.
Giuliani told The New York Times that he called the police after the mock interview took place.
“He and his entire crew fled leaving their equipment behind,” he said, referring to Baron Cohen.

Troll those close to Trump is a central theme of Borat’s new film, a sequel to a 2006 mockumentary in which Baron Cohen returns as his alter ego from Kazakhstan in a plot involving trying to gift his daughter to the vice president. American Mike. Pence.
Republican politicians have fallen in love with Baron Cohen’s jokes before.
In 2008, Republicans backed a gun program that trains four-year-olds to use military-grade weapons in the Baron Cohen comedy series Who is America?
Playing the role of an Israeli counterterrorism expert, Baron Cohen successfully convinced former Congressman Joe Walsh, former Senator Trent Lott, California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson to endorse the “kindest guardians.” .
