LOS ANGELES (AP) – Sarah Palin says she's been "duped."
The former Republican nominee to the vice presidency tells that she was a victim of British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen during an interview for her upcoming showtime show, "Who Is America?"
On Tuesday, the former governor of Alaska wrote that she and a girl traveled across the country for what she thought was a legitimate interview. But she says that Baron Cohen was "heavily disguised" as a disabled American veteran in a wheelchair.
Palin says that she spent what she called a long interview full of "disrespect and sarcasm of Hollywoodism" before she left. She challenges Baron Cohen and Showtime to donate the proceeds of the show to a veterans' charity.
Showtime has no comments. An e-mail requesting a comment from Baron Cohen has not been returned.
