Meet the Woman Who's Suing Bruno

Richelle Olson suing Sacha Baron CohenThis is the woman who is suing Sacha Baron Cohen over the alleged violent attack at the bingo parlor during the filming of "Bruno."

Her name is Richelle Olson. She's 39 years old and lives in Palmdale, CA. Olson claims Cohen came to her charity bingo match for the elderly in the character "Bruno" and began calling numbers in a vulgar and offensive way. Olson says when she tried grabbing the mic away from him, Cohen attacked her, as did several of his cameramen.

Olson says she fell to the ground, suffered brain bleeds and has been forced to use a wheelchair or a walker ever since.

Her friends tell us Olson has deteriorated since the incident. The pic was taken either before or shortly after the alleged attack.

It was first printed this morning by the Antelope Valley Press.

32. HE ATTACKED HER along with several of his cameramen after she tried to defuse the situation this jackal started. So save your Sacha's innocent BS for the jury scumbag. at 6'2" Sacha fits a lot of the definitions of a classic bully and is part of the reason he gets away with his BS (but not for much longer, I am fairly certain.)

Eminem did NOT have a clue he was about to be t-bagged. There is NO upside for a rapper with any street cred to be publicly seen in a compromising homosexual simulated act.

35. Everyone sues him, and it's all bull. The fact is he probably made her look like a bitch and is gonna put it in the film just like everyone else that sued him for Borat. Moneywhores.

44. The woman is seeking $25,000. Now, she and her lawyers are either completely dumb, or they don't have a case and just want to settle. If she really was beat up and her brain was bleeding as a result, it would not be $25K. That's just ridiculous.

As far as MTV awards joke is concerned, it was just a joke, a publicity stunt. Anyone who thinks less of Eminem because of this, simply doesn't get it. Even if he didn't know about it, so what? There is nothing he could have done to prevent it. Only an idiot would start a fight on TV because of this. Eminem is not a Jerry Springer guest, he has more class, and more brains.
