Rudy Giuliani has dealt with many people from all walks of life, but he may have met his match in Borat. The man once dubbed "America's Mayor" was caught on camera in a compromising position in the new movie sequel "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," which hit Amazon Prime Video on Oct. 23, 2020. Making headlines is a scene in which Rudy — President Donald Trump's personal lawyer — is seen talking to the actress playing Borat's daughter while she posed as a TV journalist. Following the faux interview, Rudy and the actress retreated to a hotel bedroom rigged with concealed cameras. Video shows Rudy touching her, lying back on the bed, fiddling with his untucked shirt and reaching into his pants. The former New York City mayor has denied anything salacious happened — he claims he was simply reclined to tuck in his shirt — but others aren't buying it. Hollywood, for instance, was quick to mock Rudy. Tweeted pop star Demi Lovato, "So you normally drink with reporters, follow them to the bedroom and then lie on the bed and let her take off your mic for you? I guess I've been doin my interviews all wrong…" Keep reading to see how others reacted…

"Why did you go into a bedroom at the suggestion of a young woman to have cocktails to take off a mic? I take off a mic every night. Never once have I reclined on a king-sized bed and then launched a fact-finding mission to my own groin." —Stephen Colbert
"I've seen #Borat2 around six times over the last few months, and I can't wait to watch it a seventh. It's crazy and wonderful and couldn't be more timely. It also has a few of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a movie. I'm excited for you to see it." –Seth Rogen

"Trump has 'only the best.' Jeffrey Epstein and Rudy Giuliani" –Debra Messing, who added several fire emojis
"I would say that if the president's lawyer found what he did there appropriate behavior then heaven knows what he's doing with other female journalists in hotel rooms. I just urge everyone to watch the movie — it is what it is, he did what he did — and make your own mind up. It was pretty clear to us." —Sacha Baron Cohen, during an interview on "Good Morning America"
"Well, looks like the cat's out of the pants. Having seen #Borat2 I can now safely tell you #RudyGiuliani is over in a very big way. It's worse than you think and more uncomfortable than anything I've seen in a recent film, documentary or otherwise." –Josh Gad
"Don't worry – the Fox News hacks will find a defense." –John Cusack
"Rudy never disappoints" –Chris Meloni
"Need to see this. Don't want to wait two days!!! Saw a still of @RudyGiuliani fiddling with his zipper lying down on a bed with a very young girl. Is this his new OCTOBER SURPRISE? Thank you @SachaBaronCohen" –Jillian Barberie
"Now we know why Rudy was so desperate to preempt the narrative," George Takei tweeted, later adding, "They always do what they accuse others of doing. Look at Rudy Giuliani. In fact, google Rudy Giuliani and Borat, right now, and it explains a lot of his bizarre accusations lately."
"At some point you will hear 'Rudy knew all about Borat so he decided to play along with the joke! He was obviously joking! He was doing a character! Oh it's okay for Sacha Baron Cohen to do it but Rudy can't?'" Andy Richter tweeted. "Let's not forget that lying down on a bed in a room, in which the only other person is a 15 year old female, if only to DEEPLY tuck in your shirt is still TOTALLY [EXPLETIVE] WRONG AND INAPPROPRIATE."
"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD" –Ethan Embry
"Loved #Borat. Laughed so hard and was shockingly moved. @SachaBaronCohen and Maria Bakalova were fearless and great. And Jeanise Jones is my hero!" –"Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise and "The Suicide Squad" director James Gunn
