It comes as the former mayor of New York Rudi Giuliani faced questions after embarrassing footage was released of him featuring in the movie.
A young actress, who plays Borat’s daughter and who poses as a TV journalist in the movie, is shown inviting Giuliani, 76, to her bedroom for a drink. Giuliani, who is the personal attorney to President Donald Trump, can be seen reaching into his trousers and apparently touching his genitals while lying on a bed as his microphone is removed.
The pair are interrupted with Borat bursting into the room and shouting: “She’s 15. She’s too old for you.” Giuliani has dismissed the clip as a complete fabrication.
He tweeted: “The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment. At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar.
“In fact, the NY Post today reports ‘it looks to me like an exaggeration through editing.’ As soon as I realized it was a set up I called the police, which has been noted in THR article on July 8th.”
During his daily show on WABC-AM, Giuliani said images from the clip that had been shared online, were not as they seemed. He said: “I had my jacket on—I was fully clothed at all times—and I had to take off the electronic equipment.
“And when the electronic equipment came off, some of it was in the back and my shirt got a little out, came a little out, although my clothes were entirely on. And I leaned back and I tucked my shirt in. At that point, they have this picture that they take, which looks doctored, but in any event, I’m tucking my shirt in; I assure you that’s all I was doing.”
