According to CBS News, Sacha Baron Cohen has revived his character Ali G for a new movie, Ali G: Who Iz I? The network reported that Cohen, who starred in hits such as Borat and The Dictator, joined CBS Mornings to talk about reviving the character. The summary of the segment does not state the reasons Cohen gave, so those reasons are not reported here.

The Guardian reported in an exclusive, written by Catherine Shoard, that Michael Aboud, chair of the El Paso County Republican Party, says he intends to sue Cohen over footage of him used in the satirical comedy. According to The Guardian, Aboud appeared in what he believed to be a documentary, and he has expressed anger at the filmmaker. The Guardian's headline describes Aboud as embarrassed by the film and quotes him calling Cohen "A liar and a pervert." The outlet noted that its article contains spoilers for the film.

The two outlets describe the film differently. CBS News refers to it as a new movie featuring the revived character, while The Guardian calls it a satirical comedy. Neither summary says whether Aboud has filed a lawsuit. The summaries also do not report whether Cohen has responded to Aboud's statements, and the CBS summary contains no comment from Aboud.
