Roy Moore's $95 milllion lawsuit against Sacha Baron Cohen over 'Who is America' stunt dismissed in court.
... with the judge essentially telling him he agreed to participate and telling his wife she couldn't win her case because the show segment was so clearly a joke.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the federal judge in the Southern District of New York said Sacha's stunt for his Showtime special"Who is America" was clearly satire, and that no reasonable person would interpret the stunt as asserting fact. In docs, the judge said the former U.S. Senate candidate gave up his right to sue when he signed a waiver prior to the interview. Even though his wife didn't sign the waiver, the court basically said the stunt was akin to a political cartoon or caricature ... which is protected speech under the First Amendment.
