“Apparently my husband BORAT is giving out money for no reason because your girl did Not make the cut in the film (news to me) but I made the cut at the nank. Last time that I checked….we were married and had two biracial children but maybe he hooked up with Pamela Anderson,” she wrote, referring to the end of the first “Borat” film, where Borat and Luenell become romantically involved after he’s rejected by Pamela Anderson. (See Luenell’s Instagram post below.) Why isn’t Luenell in the “Borat” sequel? According to a source close to the production, there had been discussions early on about including the comedian in the new movie directed by Jason Woliner. Because of her union status at SAG-AFTRA, Luenell was compensated for her likeness to be considered. The source added that it was initially unclear how Luenell might be featured in the film, whether in newly shot scenes, pre-existing unseen footage, or stock material. Alas, due to COVID-19’s impact on film and TV production throughout this year, logistics became complicated, and she was ultimately not included. Filming on “Borat 2” began as early as late last year in Texas and wrapped this past summer.
Luenell has made a name for herself in other Hollywood productions since “Borat,” including with a small role in 2018’s “A Star Is Born,” a role in “Dolemite Is My Name,” plus appearances in “The Last O.G.” and “Black Jesus.” IndieWire has reached out to additional representatives on the film for comment.
