Giuliani’s viral Borat bedroom clip resurfaces

A compromising clip of Rudy Giuliani has resurfaced just days after Donald Trump announced he’ll award the previous mayor with the best civilian honor.

The president revealed on Monday that he would award Giuliani, 81, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, calling him “the best Mayor in the historical past of New York City, and an equally great American Patriot,” in a Truth Social post. The honor got here days after Giuliani was severely injured in a car accident in New Hampshire on August 30.

Giuliani’s head of security, Michael Ragusa, revealed on Instagram that Giuliani’s car was “struck from behind at high speed” after serving to a lady who was the sufferer of a home violence incident.

“He remained on scene until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety,” said Ragusa, including that the incident occurred while Giuliani was touring on the freeway.

Trump’s personal attorney was “transported to a nearby trauma center, where he was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg,” according to Ragusa.

Giuliani was hospitalized for a few days and could have to put on a brace for his damaged vertebrae. “The mayor is in great spirits. He’s a beast. He survived 9/11,” said Ragusa, referencing Giuliani’s time as mayor from 1994 to 2001.

Days later, Trump made the announcement, sharing that particulars as to when and where the event will happen will come soon. “Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he said.

But it seems an outdated clip from the 2020 movie, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, may rain on Giuliani’s parade. The movie follows Sacha Baron Cohen’s titular character, Borat, who makes an attempt to offer his daughter, Tutur, as a bride to then-Vice President Mike Pence.

DON’T MISS…

Giuliani’s scene in the movie incited controversy at the time after he was shown reaching into his trousers and allegedly touching his groin space while mendacity in mattress with Tutur, performed by actress Maria Bakalova.

Bakalova posed as a TV reporter interviewing Giuliani for a faux conservative news program before they went to her room at a resort, upon her request. Hidden cameras captured Bakalova eradicating Giuliani’s microphone as the previous politician fiddled with his untucked shirt and reached into his pants.

Giuliani’s voice is heard, going through away from the digicam, asking for an handle and telephone quantity before Baron Cohen bursts into the room, displaying, “She’s 15! She’s too old for you!”

“This guy comes running in, wearing a crazy, what I would say was a pink transgender outfit,” Giuliani told the New York Post at the time. “It was a pink bikini, with lace, underneath a translucent mesh top. It looked absurd. He had the beard, bare legs, and wasn’t what I would call distractingly attractive.”

Giuliani believed the incident was a “scam or shakedown,” so he reported it to the police, who discovered that no crime had been dedicated.

“I only later realised it must have been Sacha Baron Cohen. I thought about all the people he previously fooled, and I felt good about myself because he didn’t get me,” he said.

Clip Resurgence

The scene has just lately circulated on TikTok, with customers slamming Giuliani on the heels of the medal of freedom announcement. “OMG I remember this!” wrote one particular person. “Like how was this not headlining news! This was fricken crazy!”

Another particular person wrote: “This happened years ago. How does nobody know about this?” A 3rd particular person wrote, “Trump’s giving him the medal of freedom btw.”

In a separate interview with WABC, Giuliani denied any allegations of impropriety, saying he was only attempting “to take off the electronic equipment.”

“And when the electronic equipment came off, some of it was in the back, and my shirt came a little out, although my clothes were entirely on. I leaned back, and I tucked my shirt in, and at that point, at that point, they have this picture they take which looks doctored, but in any event, I’m tucking my shirt in. I assure you that’s all I was doing.”

Giuliani admitted that he believed the interview with Bakalova was reputable. “At one point, she explained to me some problems she had. I actually prayed with her,” he said. “And then I had to leave. I had my jacket on. I was fully clothed at all times.”

He later bashed the movie on X, calling it “a complete fabrication.”

“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,” he added.
