QUICK TAKES - June 4, 2009

Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie is already getting the same sort of buzz and legal backlash that came with his last hit, “Borat.” This time, though, a woman is alleging injuries far beyond just a bruised ego or reputation.

Richelle Olson sued the 37-year-old actor-comedian and NBC Universal on May 22, claiming an incident at a charity bingo tournament that was filmed for the upcoming “Bruno” left her disabled.

Olson claims she was severely injured after struggling with Baron Cohen and his film crew at the event in Palmdale two years ago. The lawsuit states she now needs a wheelchair or cane to move around.

Phone and e-mail messages left with publicists for Baron Cohen and NBC Universal weren’t returned Wednesday.
