Giuliani Says He Was Tucking in Shirt After Removing Microphone in Controversial 'Doctored' Scene for Borat Sequel
https://www.newsweek.com/giuliani-says-he-was-tucking-shirt-after-removing-microphone-controversial-doctored-scene-1541150
During his daily show on WABC-AM, Giuliani said images from the clip that began circling online before the film's Friday release on Amazon Prime Video were not as they seemed. He told listeners that he had just concluded an interview at the time the clip was filmed and was in the process of removing the electronic equipment used during the interview, which required him to re-tuck his shirt.
"I had my jacket onI was fully clothed at all timesand I had to take off the electronic equipment," Giuliani said. "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.
Yeah. I always lay back on a bed to remove recording equipment.
From in my pants!

Rudy says there was a typo in his last text. I don't get it.

(28,836 posts)So, it's pretty unlikely he did anything untoward in the movie. Others have noted that they've seen the scene and it's not what people are assuming. I guess we'll know tomorrow. We might want to hold off on jumping on the bandwagon until it's fully available.

TwilightZone
(28,836 posts)There's a thread elsewhere that has the full text. It's a pretty good idea if one doesn't want to get sued. It's actually part of the joke - people are dumb enough to agree.
I think "we" are jumping on a bandwagon that is likely not what it seems, and that's based on the tweets of people who've actually seen the scene. I'd rather know before making assumptions, but that's just me. You be you.

TwilightZone
(28,836 posts)As I said, I'd rather have more information first. If you want to hop on the bandwagon, be my guest. I think it's entirely possible the pic was leaked to jack up interest in the movie (and force Giuliani to defend it) and it - like everything Cohen does - isn't quite what it appears to be.

(47,365 posts)Is the scene confusingly edited or is Rudy tucking in his shirt?

(47,365 posts)"On what appear to be hidden cameras, we see Giuliani remove her microphone and ask for her phone number and address as he sits down on the bed. He starts patting her backside as she removes the microphone from his pants. Giuliani then lies down on the bed and starts sticking his hands down his pants in a seemingly suggestive manner."

Plus, I cant imagine myself doing that, no matter how innocent, in the company of a stranger. Just plain socially weird.
My sympathy can be measured on a Planck scale.
LisaL
(47,365 posts)Especially as he claims it happened after an interview.
Sympthsical
(10,897 posts)Alone or with my partner in the room? Ok. With a stranger? Stand up and start tucking.
You know, like normal people.
But its been said fairly often that the man is usually five drinks in on a three drink day, so maybe hes that oblivious.
I assume well get video. Either way, Im here for the public embarrassment.

(4,402 posts)1. Why was his shirt untucked during or after an interview? And, do they put recording equipment in your pants?
2. What man lies down on the bed (with a reporter next to him) to tuck his shirt in?
