He says he didn't know Cohen would mock Israel and scheme to humiliate him and other conservatives such as Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney.
"Who Is America?" premieres Sunday on Showtime.
Moore is suing four women who raised decades-old allegations of sexual misconduct during his Senate race.
His statement said that if Showtime airs a defamatory attack on his character, he might have to defend his honor again.
