Sacha Baron Cohen Accused of Attack at Gay Rights Demonstration

Lawsuit claims members of “Bruno” crew participated in an attack on a gay cameraman at a gay marriage demonstration

Sacha Baron Cohen is accused of participating in an alleged attack on a gay cameraman at a gay marriage demonstration in Los Angeles back in 2008.

A gay cameraman who covers "events involving the gay community" claims he was at a Prop 8 rally in 2008 when a crew from Cohen's movie "Bruno" arrived on the scene with an intention to "promote violent discord between the assembled 'yes' and 'no' factions."

According to the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, members of the "Bruno" crew "carried 'Yes on Proposition 8' signs contrived for the sole purpose of inciting and sparking unrest to enhance the dramatic effect of what they may capture for their film."
