Borat, the now infamous pseudo-journalist from Kazakhstan, beguiled many kind and trusting Americans into exposing themselves for his obscene documentary.\u00a0 His victims have since been humiliated, scorned, beaten, sued and worse, and, as they align themselves for a landmark lawsuit, here for the first time they strike back at the man who so degraded them.<\/p>\n

Frank LaGuardia \u2013 People ripped me for telling Borat to mind his own fucking business when he asked my name.\u00a0 That\u2019s where they cut the film.\u00a0 They should\u2019ve continued.\u00a0 The weirdo jumped across the subway and grabbed me and stuck his tongue in my mouth, and I would\u2019ve bitten it off but his security guards ran in and zapped me with a taser gun.<\/p>\n

Prudence Johansson \u2013 I have been a proud and passionate feminist since pre-puberty and was disgusted by Borat\u2019s interview, with two colleagues and me, during which he stated women couldn\u2019t be as smart as men since women had smaller brains.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t listening to that old garbage.\u00a0 We walked out, and I assumed such a short and imbecilic encounter would die in appropriate obscurity.\u00a0 Now I\u2019m on movie screens all over the nation and the world, and in the streets heathens rumble up laughing I really do look like the \u201cold man\u201d Borat called me.<\/p>\n

Carol Guggenheim \u2013 My husband, Arnold, and I welcomed Borat and his corpulent friend into our home.\u00a0 He seemed rather dismissive of our \u201cJewish\u201d artwork, all of which I painted, until I privately assured him it is certainly of museum caliber and often sold in galleries as well as through references from my international group of collectors.\u00a0 He began asking how much this painting and that one were worth, and cooed when I told him and didn\u2019t shut up until I virtually shoved a sandwich into his mouth.\u00a0 He spit it out when he thought Arnold and I weren\u2019t looking.\u00a0 We should have kept the strange fellow under surveillance.\u00a0 That night, no doubt with the glee of an anoerexic Hermann Goering, Borat plucked about half my artworks from the walls, and as I search I often find them on e-Bay, which tries to make me bid on my own work and which I shall also assuredly sue.<\/p>\n

Mary Anne Vanderbilt \u2013 My husband, who is retired and not retarded, and I enthusiastically called two couples who are our four best friends when we learned about the opportunity to host visiting journalist Borat and teach him the American way.\u00a0 We tried but in so doing suffered since the man had no experience in genteel defecation and brought his bathroom stool to the dinner table before trying to convince me to wipe his bottom.\u00a0 Though aghast, we tolerated that affront and even his insulting remark one of my friends wasn\u2019t as sexy as my other friend and I.\u00a0 That\u2019s rather obvious but should not have been stated.\u00a0 And we told Borat so.\u00a0 Then his friend the black prostitute pounded our door and bounded in.\u00a0 We ordered them to leave but Borat laid her out lengthwise on the dining room table and was trying to proceed as police charged in and arrested both.<\/p>\n

Robert E. Jackson \u2013 In my thirty-nine years in the antique business I\u2019ve never seen such a rude and clumsy customer as Borat.\u00a0 For the camera he denounced our Confederate flags and memorabilia, and the great culture they represent, then repeatedly slipped on and flailed my dish displays, destroying more than four hundred dollars worth of fine antiques.\u00a0 I told him his two hundred bucks weren\u2019t enough but to just go, go away.\u00a0 When the camera was turned off, Borat handed me a thousand in cash he\u2019d received from a cousin he said owns an art gallery, and told me he agreed slavery should be resumed in the United States and England as well.<\/p>\n

Azamot Bagatov \u2013 As the producer of Borat\u2019s documentary, I\u2019d never planned nor wanted to leave New York City.\u00a0 Borat insisted.\u00a0 He was obsessed with Pamela Anderson, and his cross-country hunt for her inconvenienced and endangered me many times.\u00a0 I was nervous with a stomachache so bad I couldn\u2019t sleep, and trying to relax, looking at silly magazine pictures of Pamela when I let my hand slide between my legs, and a berserk Borat attacked me.\u00a0 I\u2019m a fat and older man and didn\u2019t want to wrestle but had to and grappled well, finally using my huge bare fanny to smother his hateful face and almost winning.\u00a0 If I could\u2019ve finished him, I\u2019d have gone after Pamela.\u00a0 I doubt she\u2019d go for a guy whose gut sags over his genitals, but one can hope.<\/p>\n

Jeb Jackson \u2013 My buddies and I were cruising and drinking when we picked up Borat on the freeway and treated him like a fraternity brother, giving him all the hooch he wanted and encouraging him to be a man and not let Pamela Anderson or any woman smash his balls.\u00a0 We were just kidding about women being bitches and the country needing slavery again.\u00a0 That was booze and testosterone talking, and quite possibly it was more. \u00a0My buds and I think Borat dropped some drugs into our drinks.\u00a0 We were hallucinating after he left.\u00a0 I wish we\u2019d called the cops and got toxicology tested.\u00a0 But you know who they\u2019d have busted.\u00a0 I\u2019m going after Borat in Hollywood or wherever.<\/p>\n

Lee Roy Sumter \u2013 The lord loves us because members of our Pentecostal congregation help people no matter how pathetic they are.\u00a0 We\u2019d never seen anyone worse off than Borat.\u00a0 He stumbled into our Sunday service bearing thick Cossack whiskers, a filthy gray suit and sorry story he had no money or friends in the world.\u00a0 We told him who would help him.\u00a0 Jesus would.\u00a0 He possessed Borat and let him talk in tongues just like we do, and afterward Borat said Jesus had saved him on the spot.\u00a0 Now he could go on in the world.\u00a0 He just needed ten grand he\u2019d promptly return after getting a job in California.\u00a0 We\u2019re still waiting for payment and looking for a forwarding address.<\/p>\n

Pamela Anderson \u2013 Borat promised me I\u2019d be in a movie and I was really excited since I haven\u2019t had much screen time since my dramatic days as the bikini star of Baywatch.\u00a0 But he deceived me by not mentioning he\u2019d be referring to my intimate home video with a former husband.\u00a0 At a special private screening of \u201cBorat\u201d in a producer\u2019s mansion, in front of lots of friends, my latest husband, Kid Rock, screamed I was a whore who\u2019d degraded him, and he left me.\u00a0 Borat should at least be sorry and apologize.\u00a0 Instead, he stalks and begs me to come to Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

The American Prostitute \u2013 Borat vowed to get me off the streets and give me respect and a decent life.\u00a0 As an African American I was a little concerned about the culture shock of moving to Kazakhstan but went anyway to be with the man I loved.\u00a0 Borat soon began coming home late very tired and haggard.\u00a0 One day I looked all over the village and finally heard his moan and ran in and caught him with a blond prostitute, the fourth best in the country, and next morning everyone was lined up gossiping as I walked away from a terrible place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
