Roy Moore Sues Sacha Baron Cohen for $95 Million
« on: September 05, 2018, 09:23:18 pm »
Former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore filed a $95 million lawsuit against Sacha Baron Cohen and Showtime on Wednesday, alleging that he was duped into appearing on “Who Is America?”

Moore alleges that he was lured to Washington, D.C., on the pretense of accepting an award for his support for Israel. Instead, he found himself being interviewed by “Col. Erran Morad,” a Cohen character. During the taping, Cohen waved a “pedophile detector” at Moore, which beeped, at which point Moore ended the interview.

Quote
Moore is suing Showtime, CBS, and Cohen for fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and defamation. He is represented by Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch.

Quote
Roy Moore followed through on his threat -- he's suing Sacha Baron Cohen for portraying him as a pedophile on national TV ... and he's gunning for tens of millions of dollars.

Moore and his wife, Kayla, filed suit against Sacha, Showtime and CBS for duping him into appearing on Cohen's "Who Is America?" In the episode Sacha, disguised as an ex-Israeli intelligence officer, waved a wand that could supposedly detect enzymes secreted by pedophiles.

Of course, the device went off like crazy when he used it on Moore. Viewers might have laughed, but Roy isn't.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the entire interview was set up under false pretenses. The Moores say they never would've agreed to meet with Sacha or sign his release form had they known it was all a sham.

More importantly, they say Sacha's gag -- which aired last month -- made Roy look like a sex offender, and seriously tarnished his reputation, caused emotional distress and financial damage. They insist Roy is not a sex offender, and Sacha's prank amounts to defamation. They're suing for at least $95 million.

There are dual threads.

Yes. Roy Moore should clean them out.
That verdict would slow down this kind of
wacking off in the basement self amusement.

To be fair Roy doesn't have a TV. He spends a lot of his free time at the mall. That's why he didn't know who Sacha was.

True... Still not a case to sue for $95 Million.

I have no doubt Moore is embarrassed at being played for the fool he is,but I seriously doubt anyone believes he is a pedophile.

Apparently, there were some here who vehemently did, despite Democrat operatives dredging up alleged events from 40 years prior with glaring errors in basic fact (not just the allegations), timed specifically to stop him in one election, but never mentioned in contests for earlier offices. Then, too, the homosexuals had a friend in the Dem candidate, and Moore had upheld the Alabama Constitution against homo marriage. So, sure, all that crap was a coordinated media 'hit'. Even the GOP exposed itself not wanting a "boy scout" in DC, by pulling their support.
Any Southern raised young attorney of the era when the allegations referred would have been especially conscious of his reputation and made sure his actions were not only legal, but honorable.
He'd worked hard to get where he was, that would be no time for the sort of stupidity he was accused of.

What am I missing @Frank Cannon ? Is this Moore's ticket to the big time? 

He does looks Presidential suing his enemies, and denying what everybody accepts as truth.

:shrug:

Maybe it doesn't have the sexy appeal of stories confirming the Deep State like the NYT anonymous opinion piece...

It must suck to be you. Spend all day getting hen pecked by your boyfriend to the point you have to roll in here late night posting irrelevant and idiotic memes to prove to yourself you have value. You prove you are "woke" and "resisting" like your fellow travelers Colbert and Handler tell you to be. Too bad no one gives a shit.

I never thought Cohen was funny as an actor, but I enjoyed his wife in season four and five of “Arrested Development”
