Bill Cosby accuser files defamation lawsuit against comedian’s lawyer

A California appeals court has temporarily halted an order requiring Bill Cosby and his former lawyer, Martin Singer, to be deposed in a defamation lawsuit filed by model Janice Dickinson.

All four women said that after they came forward with their stories of abuse, Cosby’s representatives publicly branded them as liars and their comments were labeled as “absurdity”.

Cosby now has been named in six separate civil lawsuits.

On that occasion she says Cosby turned all the lights off and forced her to touch his genitals, then attacked her again at his brownstone apartment in NY after she believes he slipped drugs into a glass of wine she gave him. She claimed in a previous interview with TMZ that she was in the green room of the “Tonight Show” when Cosby, a frequent guest host, knocked on the door.

Tarshis said she met Cosby in 1969 when she was a young aspiring comedian.

Moritz says Cosby made his way into her dressing room before taking his penis and forcing her to perform oral sex on him.

Moritz, who appeared in movies like “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Up in Smoke”, added her name to the growing number of Cosby’s alleged victims.

The comedian allegedly told her he was impressed by her work and “implied that he was going to see to it that I will become a major star through his direction”. According to her lawsuit, Cosby later contacted her directly and invited her to Las Vegas to “audition” by acting intoxicated. The depositions were ordered to occur this month by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge on November 2, but Cosby’s attorneys appealed and the appellate court wants legal briefs filed by the end of the month.

“Mr. Cosby has employed several law firms with a combined total of over 700 lawyers in an attempt to avoid answering questions from me under oath in our case”, Dickinson’s attorney Lisa Bloom said in a statement.
