Rudy Giuliani asks judge to toss 'salacious' references to his appearance in 'Borat' movie, denies making racist remarks and selling pardons in response to ex-staffer's sex-abuse lawsuit

• Rudy Giuliani asked a judge to toss parts of the sex-abuse lawsuit against him.
• It's unfair to include a reference to Giuliani's presence in the second "Borat" movie, he says.
• Giuliani also denied selling pardons for Trump and making discriminatory remarks.

Rudy Giuliani has asked a judge to strike parts of his ex-staffer Noelle Dunphy's lawsuit, claiming it's full of falsehoods and "salacious details meant to create a media frenzy."

In May, Dunphy accused Giuliani of repeatedly sexually abusing her between 2019 and 2021 while dangling a high-paying administrative job she said he never followed through on.

During the time Dunphy worked for Giuliani, he demanded oral sex while on the phone with then-President Donald Trump, discussed selling presidential pardons for $2 million, and instructed her not to talk to law enforcement, her lawsuit alleged.

In his own motion, filed to court last week, Giuliani said the parts of the lawsuit referencing his appearance in the second "Borat" movie, comparisons to an unethical lawyer from the Showtime series "Billions," and allegations of affairs, the sale of pardons, and discriminatory remarks about minorities should all be stricken from the filing. Those claims, Giuliani said, are either false or don't bolster Dunphy's underlying claims that he sexually assaulted her.

Dunphy's lawsuit includes a portion with a screenshot of "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm," the prank documentary, where Giuliani lays down on a bed and appears to touch his genitals after an actress brings him into a hotel bedroom following an interview. According to Dunphy's lawsuit, Giuliani behaved the same way in his apartment with her and then forced her to give him oral sex.

"This is the very definition of a scandalous and prejudicial allegation," Giuliani and his attorney Adam Katz wrote in their filing last week. "What transpired in the satirical Borat Movie – where Mr. Giuliani was tricked into thinking he was giving an interview – has no bearing or relevance on any of the causes action in the Complaint."

Giuliani says he had a consensual relationship with Dunphy for "a few months in 2019." In his filing, he did not deny asking Dunphy for oral sex while on the phone with Trump.

He did, however, deny the scheme to sell pardons, calling the allegations "entirely false and allege a very serious lie."

In the filing, Giuliani also asked that the judge strike all references to him making discriminatory comments about religious and ethnic minorities, claiming those allegations were "meant to taint and bias any potential jury pool by alienating entire swaths of people based on their identities," including "Democrat jurors."

An attorney representing Dunphy didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
