‘Brüno’ Twins React to ‘Brüno’

‘Brüno’ Twins React to ‘Brüno’ It's been over a year since Nicole and Suzie DeFosset got duped by Sacha Baron Cohen in Austrian fashionista drag. Earlier, we had them reminisce about the experience, even though they hadn't seen their 'performance' yet. At that point they were diplomatic, most likely hoping for the best. Last night they finally saw the movie in which their shortcomings on African geography are revealed to the world. So what did they think?

We just saw the movie and thought it was hilarious and Brüno is a comedic genius. We were directed on playing up the blonde roll (sic) and they definitely captured those parts! Like all reality shows it was cleverly edited and we are excited to be apart (sic) of a successful film.

You’ve earned it, girls!

I heard that these girls were dumb as hell in the movie. And there quotes only prove how dumb they are. How are these girls making money? L.A. is a real stupid place.

These girls give PR a bad name. I hope they aren’t trusted with press releases- roll? apart? Sounds like they didn’t need much direction.

This embodies the worst in Public Relations; and tends to show rhe PR/media profession in a superficial light. These types of antics from self proclaimed PR pros do shed a light as to why PR isn’t as respected and revered as it was 40 years ago, and why many companies have chosen to believe that PR is just a waste of time and money to allocate. PR is more than Miss America scholarship pageant contestant “What are you studying in college?” pretty face and an empty head (degreed or not) types which sadly many companies think that’s all PR is now. I turn my back on these two wanna-be celebrtarts and look to the long time real pros who are the true faceless movers and shakers in our industry.

Mandi- I think that you have no idea what you are talking about. IF you can read they were told to play up the dumb role. Again they are smart girls who have made a name for themselves in the PR business. It is a shame that people are such haters when 2 girls are acheiving success. Yes they are pretty and again business degrees from the University of Michigan. Not quite the college you need a pretty face to get into and or a pulse. Check your facts and don’t attack people. WAY TO GO NICOLE AND SUZIE!!! The bruno twins ROCK!!!

Just a Friend, they were not told to play up the dumb ‘roll’ they were interviewed by Bruno as a potential client and handled it accordingly. That was what they said after their part was filmed- a somewhat convenient excuse. As someone working in PR I take offense to their obvious lack of common knowledge about an area they are supposedly experts in and the badly written response above. Spelling mistakes in the media and PR are not acceptable.

I work in LA, and these girls are regular patrons. They didn’t need to be told to play anything. But girls, don’t worry about it, you are fabulous. After all Paris made her whole carreer on being dumb, and there are 2 of you so you can be twice as famous.
