Bruno was released just days after the death of Michael Jackson and, out of sensitivity for the loss, producers removed a scene from the movie featuring a prank on La Toya Jackson.

The scene is only 90 seconds long but it is pretty rough since it shows Bruno mocking the Jackson family. According to Usmagazine.com, “La Toya is tricked into doing an interview with a fake Austrian fashion journalist, played by Cohen. Cohen’s character, Bruno, then asks to see her phone, finds Michael’s number and starts saying his number in Austrian to his assistant. When La Toya gets fed up with Bruno, she storms out, before he yells to her, ‘La Toya, come back. Can you at least get me Jermaine?’”
I like crude humor but I didn’t enjoy Bruno and I think this scene is just going to make it worse for me.
