Sacha Baron Cohen Settles Bruno Lawsuit

Sacha Baron Cohen has settled a $110 million lawsuit with a Palestinian man who was portrayed as a terrorist in Bruno.

Grocer Ayman Abu Alta was interviewed in the spoof documentary by the gay Austrian fashion journalist - played by Sacha - and under his name a caption appeared on screen which read "Terrorist group leader, Al-Aqsa Martyrs brigade." Later in the comedy movie - released by Universal Pictures in 2009 - the fake character also appears on The David Letterman Show and recalls his meeting with a terrorist and footage of Ayman is shown.

In his lawsuit, Ayman claimed he had received death threats and had endured a massive "loss of reputation" because of the movie. According to RadarOnline.com, the legal dispute has now been resolved and although details of the case are confidential, Ayman's lawyer Joseph Peter Drennan did reveal it had been "settled to the mutual satisfaction" of everyone involved.
