Sarah Levinson, producer of Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm revealed in a panel interview on Saturday that Rudy Giuliani tried to have her crew arrested.
Giuliani was caught in a compromising scene in which he’s seen untucking his shirt, as he reclined on a hotel room bed, next to actress Maria Bakalova.
He denied he did anything wrong in the film. “He called all of his New York City cops and said, ‘Extortion’—which was a federal crime. Very smart to bring that up,” Levinson said. The hotel locked the hotel room where the scene took place, forcing the crew to rent new filming equipment.
Fortunately, the footage of Giuliani had already been safely transferred. “He claimed we were trying to extort him at the time, [but] we didn’t ask for anything,” Levinson said.

Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. That name for that guy. As someone around here is known to say, ‘You just can’t make this up.’ It is funny how extortion in a ‘sting’ is only legal when carried out by ‘the law’. Some discrepancies in the carriage of law are glaringly obvious these days. I don’t think I have seen a bigger stand down in policing than what I saw, in the media, than the ‘defense’ of the capital on 01/06/21. There doesn’t seem to be any hesitancy to gas ‘rights’ protestor or ‘pepper’ college students in Miami, Why the timidity at the Capital of the United States of America on the day The President was to be certified by congress’ tally of the electoral vote? Why do concrete and steel skyscrapers drop in their foot print in ‘freefall’ from office fires or jet fuel? I actually believe there is much sopistication that goes into such Majik tricks.
I know a couple kids who were tracked down by a black suburban and accosted by men in tactical gear harshly (beaten) restrained and interrogated after a BLM protest in SLC, UT. No Miranda Rights given. One of the kids is looking at 20 years for involvement the prior day in a ‘staged’ police car burning. Sometime self-preservation trumps sophistication.
