'Movies like this are showing people's true colors'While Rudy Giuliani has vehemently denied any wrongdoing for a now-infamous sequence in the new Borat sequel that shows him in a compromising position opposite a young female reporter, his scene partner has remained silent in the weeks since the films premiere.
That changed Wednesday as the New York Times published an interview with Maria Bakalova, the 24-year-old Bulgarian actress who plays Tutar Sagdiyev, the 15-year-old daughter of Sacha Baron Cohens eponymous Kazakh reporter. In Borat Subsequent Moviefilms most buzzed-about set-up, Tutar poses as an interviewer with a fake news outlet called Patriots Report, shares whiskey with the former New York City mayor and current attorney to President Donald Trump and ultimately ends up in a hotel bedroom with him. There, Giuliani sits down on the bed, pats her on the waist and appears to put his hands down his pants before Baron Cohen bursts into the room.
Movies like this are showing peoples true colors, Bakalova said when asked by Times columnist Dave Itzkoff if she feels bad for how much Giuliani has been mocked for falling victim to the prank and ridiculed for alleged illicit intent. Its going to show Rudys real character. Youre responsible for your own decisions. So, no, I dont feel bad.
Giuliani has insisted he was simply tucking his shirt into his pants while lying down on his back after his microphone was removed, while critics of the film have suggested creative editing tricks employed by the filmmakers like dialogue that may have been layered over the scene in which Giuliani asks Tutar for her address and phone number.

His familiarity with Putin's girls, maybe?
