Sacha Baron Cohen has donated $100,000 to `Borat Subsequent Moviefilm` babysitter Jeanise Jones' community in Oklahoma. As first reported by People, the money will be distributed by the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Oklahoma City at Jones' request, to provide shelter and food to community members.

Jones, the 62-year-old favorite in `Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,` signed onto the project when the `Borat` team visited her church, looking for a maternal type for a documentary film.

`I can't say it was fair because they knew it was going to be a movie, and I didn't,` she said about her pay. `I just thought I was doing a documentary about how we do things in America, but I blame myself for not reading when I signed those papers.`

Earlier this week, Jeanise Jones, who plays the role of Tutar's babysitter in #Borat2, told the New York Post that she felt `betrayed` by the filmmaking team as she was led to believe that she was taking part in a real documentary about a teenage girl being groomed to marry a rich man. ⁠ ⁠ Jones landed the part in `Borat 2` due to her association with the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Oklahoma City. After the film's release, Pastor Derrick Scobey launched a GoFundMe to compensate Jones properly for her appearance, with a goal of raising $100,000. The goal was exceeded today, and Sacha Baron Cohen himself has donated another $100,000.⁠ ⁠ The funds will be distributed by the Ebenezer Baptist Church at Jones' request, and have been earmarked for essential needs like shelter and food.

The pastor continued, encouraging fans to express gratitude in a `tangible way`: `Many of you have reached from around the world to say thank you, so I thought it would be great to give people a vehicle to say thank you in a tangible way. Please consider giving a contribution simply to say thank you to Jeanise for being a moral compass and a light shining in darkness in this movie.`
