Sacha Baron Cohen has been sued for $25, 000. Allegedly, Cohen as his alter ego Bruno, left a woman crippled after being hired to MC a bingo event at a nursing home. Richelle Olson, executive director of California’s Desert Valley Charities, is accusing Cohen of being rude, forceful and physically aggressive.

According to the court papers (via usmagazine.com), Bruno is being accused of being an: “extreme, outrageous, offensive caricature of a gay man dressed in sexually revealing clothing with an Austrian accent…” Supposedly, Cohen had three cameramen bumrush the stage and intentionally knock her over in order to create a dramatic scene.

Olsen has since suffered two brain bleeds and is confined to a wheelchair. She hopes to suck $25, 000 out of NBC and Cohen. Ouch.
