Cohen, who is known for his shocking and disturbing behaviour on screen, may have to pay the price in real life.
The English star who plays the character Bruno, an openly gay reporter who works for an Austrian TV station, got into trouble during a Bingo game in California, where he was trying to gain footage for his film of the same name, due out this summer on July 10.
During his speech, Cohen had an altercation with Richelle Olson, an elderly woman who organized the event to raise funds for charity.
Olson, the plantiff in the case, accused Cohen of appearing at the event, and described him as an "extreme, outrageous, offensive caricature of a gay man dressed in sexually revealing clothing with an Austrian accent."
When she tried to remove the microphone from his hands, an altercation ensued, during which Cohen pushed her, causing the lady to fall to the ground.
This is not the first lawsuit for the prankster. During the filming of Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, many people felt cheated and turned to the courts for compensation.
