Sacha Baron Cohen isn't done with Sarah Palin.
Following Palin's claims that Baron Cohen "duped" her into an interview for Who Is America?eroticism defby passing himself off as an American veteran with disabilities, "fake wheelchair and all," Showtime has released a statement calling out the "widespread misinformation" about the show.

The episode showed Baron Cohen disguised as Dr. Billy Wayne Ruddick Jr., Ph.D. to interview Sen. Bernie Sanders. When Sanders asks if he lives with disabilities, "Ruddick" responds that he is not. Though Ruddick uses a mobility scooter, he explains that it's just "to conserve my body's finite energy."
Ruddick is the same character Baron Cohen adopted while speaking with Palin, for a segment that has yet to air. "In both the interview with Governor Palin and the interview with Senator Sanders, he did not wear military apparel of any kind," Showtime explains.
Palin had previously described Baron Cohen's stunt on Facebook as "evil, exploitive, and sick," blasting him for his "disrespect."
For his part, Baron Cohen responded in character on Twitter, writing, "I did NOT say I was a War Vet."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
In the same Facebook post, Palin told Baron Cohen to "go ahead – air the footage."
But it seems pretty clear at this point that whatever ends up airing, it's not gonna be a good look for Palin.
