"Let the law suits begin!\r\nSacha Baron Cohen -- who faced lots of legal action after duping aggrieved parties with his 2006 character Borat -- is being sued for allegedly attacking and leaving a woman &amp;quot;crippled&amp;quot; at a bingo hall in 2007 while playing his new flamboyantly gay Austrian character, Bruno.  In a suit obtained by TMZ.com, Richelle Olson, executive director of California&amp;apos;s Desert Valley Charities, claims she was told Bruno was a celebrity who would appear and call numbers at the charity bingo game she ran for the elderly.  Bruno, she says in her legal papers, was an &amp;quot;extreme, outrageous, offensive caricature of a gay man dressed in sexually revealing clothing with an Austrian accent...&amp;quot;\r\nSee photos of more celebs acting silly\r\nShe claims he used &amp;quot;vulgar and offensive language&amp;quot; and a &amp;quot;physical struggle ensued&amp;quot; when she tried taking the microphone from him. According to her suit, Cohen also &amp;quot;offensively touched, pushed and battered&amp;quot; her, causing her to fall to the ground.  Three cameramen then rushed the stage ... &amp;quot;where 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,&amp;quot; the suit claims.\r\nSee photos of embarrassing celeb moments\r\nWhen the alleged assault ended, Olson went into another room where she was &amp;quot;sobbing uncontrollably&amp;quot; ... then was rendered unconscious ... &amp;quot;falling forward onto the thinly covered concrete slab, passing out and causing her to hit her head,&amp;quot; according to the suit.\r\nCan you spot Sacha Baron Cohen&amp;apos;s wife in Us&amp;apos; Baby Bump Hall of Fame gallery?\r\nOlson says she also was rushed to the hospital with a &amp;quot;diagnosis of two brain bleeds&amp;quot; -- and has since been confined to a wheelchair and walker.  Cohen and NBC Universal are among the parties she is suing for $25,000 in damages.  A rep for Cohen and NBC Universal has yet to comment.  Earlier this week, Bruno made headlines by landing face-down in Eminem&amp;apos;s lap, causing the rapper to curse and storm out of Sunday&amp;apos;s MTV Movie Awards.\r\nSee red carpet photos from the 2009 MTV Movie Awards\r\nTurns out, the incident was staged, a show writer said Tuesday."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
