Good Lord: Now Former Supermodel Janice Dickenson Claims Bill Cosby Sexually Assaulted Her, Too
Bill Cosby has been accused by several women of having raped them. He settled one such claim in 2006, and recently another woman came forward to say he'd drugged her and then raped her in 1969.
Now former supermodel Janice Dickenson claims the same basic story, saying that Cosby raped her in 1982.
Dickinson claimed that in 1982, Cosby invited her Lake Tahoe, where he was performing, to discuss a job he had offered her, as well as advice on her singing career.
She said that after she arrived in Tahoe, the two had dinner, and then when the two returned to her room, Cosby gave her "wine and a pill."
"The next morning I woke up and I wasn't wearing my pajamas," she said. "And I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man."
"Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember was Bill Cosby, in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me."
...
Dickinson is the third accuser to come forward since comedian Hannibal Burrell called Cosby a rapist during a stand-up routine in Philadelphia last month.
Anyone... remembering that 1999 extortion plot by a woman claiming to be Cosby's out-of-wedlock daughter, seeking $40 million from him?
$40 million is an awful lot to ask in a paternity scandal.
I'm wondering if the actual blackmail involved the rape (actual or alleged) of the blackmailer's mother.
