Sacha Baron Cohen, known for his portrayal of the fictional character Borat, defeated an appeal brought by Roy Moore after the politician claimed the actor defamed him during an appearance on his political satire Showtime series, Who Is America?, in 2018.
Showtime and CBS, also sued by Moore, shared in the appellate victory.
Attorneys for Moore said Cohen, 50, tricked him into appearing on the show and falsely portrayed him as a pedophile, according to The Wall Street Journal.
