Supermodel Is Fifth Woman To Accuse Bill Cosby Of Rape. ‘He Drugged Me’


Here’s the chilling story of Supermodel Janice Dickinson who is the fifth woman to publicly accuse comedian Bill Cosby of sexual assault. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ms Dickinson, 59, alleged that Cosby had drugged and raped her in 1982, after he invited her to visit him at a hotel in Lake Tahoe, California, where he was performing a stand-up show.
According to her statements published in The Independent UK:
Dickinson said Cosby, who is 77, had offered to help her with her career, and that during their meeting they discussed a possible role for her on his hit sitcom, The Cosby Show. He then offered her wine and a pill, she claimed, ostensibly to alleviate her period pains. “The next morning I woke up, and I wasn’t wearing my pyjamas, and I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man,” she said.
The last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning I remember waking up with my pyjamas off and there was semen in between my legs.”
Ms Dickinson’s interview came on the heels of similar claims by two other women. Last week the Washington Post published an article by former model Barbara Bowman, in which she accused Cosby of having “drugged and raped” her in 1985, when she was 17.

Another alleged victim, publicist Joan Tarshis, said she was sexually assaulted by the comedian in 1969. In an account published on the website Hollywood Elsewhere, Ms Tarshis claimed Mr Cosby mixed her a drink at his studio bungalow, and she grew woozy and disoriented. “Through the haze I thought I was being clever when I told him I had an infection, and he would catch it, and his wife would know he had sex with someone. But he just found another orifice to use.”
Shortly after Dickinson’s interview was broadcast, the streaming service Netflix announced that it had postponed the release ofCosby’s latest comedy special, Bill Cosby 77, which had been due to debut online on 28 November.
Dickinson suggested she had never spoken out about the alleged rape until now because, she said, “I was afraid of the consequences. I was afraid of being labelled a whore or a slut and trying to sleep my way to the top of a career that never took place.” She added, “I want to talk about this now and I want to really support the other women who have gone through this.”
