Beyond cringe.- Maureen Dowd October 21, 2020 I’ve seen the Giuliani moment in Borat 2. New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who profiled Baron Cohen ahead of the the film's release, tweeted Wednesday about the scene: “It’s even wilder than it sounds. Giuliani spoke to the New York Post's Page Six column about the encounter in July but did not mention the bedroom aspect. The former New York City mayor called police after that encounter, but there is no indication an investigation was launched. “If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise, he is a stone-cold liar.” “At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate,” Giuliani tweeted. He said he realized he was being set up when the woman asked whether he wanted a massage. “I am tucking my shirt in, I assure you, that’s all that I was doing,” he said. Speaking on his weekly radio program on WABC on Wednesday afternoon, Giuliani called the scene “a hit job.” The character, who is Borat's daughter, is played by Maria Bakalova, who is listed as 24 years old on the Internet Movie Database site,.
Up to that point, there is no indication she is underage.
Baron Cohen, who was disguised as part of the crew, screams that the young woman is 15 years old.
