“Borat” Creators Sued By Estate Of Holocaust Survivor, Says They Tricked Her

Set to hit Amazon Prime Video on October 23rd, the makers of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm pulled out all the stops— including interviewing an actual Holocaust survivor to gain further insight on the historical event via a firsthand account. Holocaust survivor Judith Dim Evans travelled to Atlanta in January to be interviewed by Cohen, thinking she was contributing to a documentary about the Holocaust, unbeknownst to her that her recount would be used to for the second instalment of the beloved mockumentary, instead. 

The lawsuit states that Evans was “horrified and upset” upon finding out the true intent of the film, and although she passed away over the summer, her daughter has filed the suit against Amazon and Oak Springs Production on her behalf. 

“Upon learning after giving the interview that the movie was actually a comedy intended to mock the Holocaust and Jewish culture, Ms. Evans was horrified and upset,” reads the lawsuit.

Evans’ estate has revealed that Evans declined payment for her contribution to the film, and would not have agreed to take part if she had known it was for a Borat sequel. The estate cites that due to her having been misled, her participation in the film is non-consensual and are demanding her clips be removed from the movie before it premieres next week.

No stranger to controversy and backlash, Cohen is currently in the midst of a lawsuit with former Alabama Senate candidate, Roy Moore, who claims Cohen tricked him into appearing on his show, Who Is America.

Drake Laughs Off Wack 100’s ‘Career Ending’ Allegations And Fans Weigh In

HonkMagazine

Drake isn’t losing any sleep over rumors, especially those coming from Wack 100. Despite Wack’s bold claims that he has information that could damage the Toronto superstar’s reputation, Drake remains unfazed. In a recent episode of No Jumper, host Adam22 revealed that he spoke to Drake about the alleged information Wack 100 claims to have. The shocking accusation? That Drake supposedly ordered a hit on someone. However, Adam22 quickly pointed out that Drake was more amused than concerned.

Drake appeared curious about what Wack would do with this supposed evidence if it even exists. As news of this conversation spread on social media, some fans speculated that Drake reaching out to Adam22 about the situation might suggest there’s something he’s hiding. One user suggested, “The fact that the man got in touch with Adam worried about a flash drive lets you know he’s hiding something.” On the flip side, others completely dismissed the whole story, arguing that Drake’s name often gets dragged into discussions just for attention. One fan commented, “I can guarantee Adam22 never spoke to Drake. Damn, Drake’s name is straight up feeding GENERATIONS… I wish I was exaggerating.”

This isn’t the first time someone has tried to take him down, and given his history, it likely won’t be the last. At this point, Wack 100’s credibility is being questioned just as much as his claims. With no proof showing up and Drake appearing completely unconcerned, this could be another example of noisy chatter online. Whether this storyline fizzles out or takes an unexpected turn, it’s clear that Drake isn’t sweating it.

The hip-hop community is buzzing as Kirk Burrowes, the former president and co-founder of Bad Boy Records, has filed a lawsuit making bold accusations against Sean “Diddy” Combs. This legal action takes things to a new level by linking Diddy to the murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur. For years, people have speculated about the infamous feud between East Coast and West Coast rappers, which many believe had tragic outcomes.

Burrowes claims to have detailed evidence suggesting that Diddy was involved in planning Tupac’s murder. He alleges that Diddy’s jealousy pushed him to go to great lengths to undermine Tupac’s success, using tactics like negative publicity and trying to sabotage his career. Burrowes, who played an essential role in the rise of Bad Boy Records until he was let go in 1997, paints a very gloomy picture of Diddy’s actions. Beyond the claims of bullying and financial manipulation that have surfaced in the past, Burrowes insists that Diddy had a significant role in the violent demise of one of hip-hop’s most legendary figures.

This explosive lawsuit raises important questions about how deep the rivalry between East Coast and West Coast artists went. Burrowes’s statements suggest that Diddy was involved in a way that many had long suspected. For fans, this lawsuit is yet another chapter in the ongoing saga of scandals surrounding Diddy. Legal professionals are considering whether this new evidence might finally lead to justice for Tupac. And for those who cherished Tupac’s legacy, it opens old wounds that have never healed. Will Burrowes’s claims finally bring some accountability, or is this just another twist in the complicated stories surrounding the deaths of Tupac and Biggie? This story is far from over.
