Christy Cones, the fine-art consultant tricked on the first episode of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Showtime series, Who Is America?, has proven to be a better sport about being duped than many of the politicians who have appeared on the show. In the weeks since her segment was broadcast, she has documented her side of the story under the playful hashtag #ChristyLeaks, including reading a letter sent to her by Baron Cohen’s character, Rick Sherman, after their interview finally aired.
