More bad news for Roman Polanski – another woman has come forward to accuse the famous director of sexual misconduct, all while he’s still trying to make his 1977 rape charges disappear.

Roman Polanski is responsible for one of our favorite go-to movie quotes, the always hilarious “My sister! My daughter!” line from Chinatown. Know what else he’s responsible for?

The comedian has maintained his flamboyantly gay persona at all times while promoting his new comedy, Bruno, but that didn’t stop Isla Fisher, Cohen’s fiancee and the mother of his daughter, Olive, from attending the film’s Paris premiere.
