Due to the unfortunate death of Michael Jackson and out of respect for Michael or fear of a lawsuit, higher ups have decided to cut a scene from Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno which featured Latoya Jackson being mocked. A scene shown at a screening Wednesday and at European premieres was noticeably absent at the LA screening on Thursday. Us reports:
In the scene, LaToya is tricked into doing an interview with the fake Austrian fashion journalist. Bruno then asks to see her phone, finds Michael’s number and starts saying his number in Austrian to his assistant.
That doesn’t sound too bad. There’s probably something more to it. Maybe Bruno crank calls Michael. Maybe that’s what caused Michael’s heart attack. Bruno probably told Michael he kidnapped his pet monkey Bubbles and Michael in his soft voice went “oh no” and was so stressed he had a heart attack.
