Borat 2 made headlines recently when a clip showed former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani caught in a promiscuous situation with his hands down his pants.
Tutar — played by Bakalova — staged an interview for a fake conservative news program with the former mayor. Afterward, she suggested having a drink in a hotel room, which was rigged with cameras. The two hung out, and he can be seen lying on his back and reaching his hands into his pants. Sacha Baron Cohen reprised his role as Borat and runs in and interrupts the pair screaming, “She’s 15. She’s too old for you.”
President Trump’s attorney addressed the video on Twitter, calling it a “complete fabrication.” Giuliani said he was “tucking in” his shirt after “taking off the recording equipment.” He goes on to say that “at no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate.”
