Fox News and MTV are reporting that a California charity worker who organizes weekly bingo for the elderly is suing Borat and Brüno star Sacha Baron Cohen, alleging that he beat her up, "crippled" her and caused the demise of her marriage in a bingo melee.

Richelle Olson was organizing a bingo game for the elderly, one she says Cohen (in character as gay Austrian TV personality Brüno) offered to guest-call as a European celebrity.  When he showed up in his notoriously revealing costume and used offensive language, a violent struggle ensued over the bingo microphone.  Olson alleges that "defendants attacked [her] for a period of one to five minutes to intentionally create a dramatic emotional response ... while [they] recorded her humiliation and embarrassment."

She describes a subsequent emotional breakdown in the court documents; during her panic, she hit her head on a concrete slab and has since been confined to a wheelchair and walker due to "brain bleeding." 

And this is just the beginning, folks. Brüno hits theaters July 11.
