The comedian and the production networks just proved victorious in the first round of legal battles against Moore, who filed a lawsuit in September claiming that an episode of Cohen’s satirical exposé series “Who Is America?” incorrectly portrayed him as a pedophile. D.C.
[Roy Moore sues Sacha Baron Cohen, CBS and Showtime for $95 million, claiming ‘extreme emotional distress’] In the months before filming, Moore, now 72, faced accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior toward several women when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s.
