Bill Cosby faces new allegations from 3 more women
She says that while she was drugged, it was clear that he didn’t use a condom when he assaulted her. “I was confused and ashamed and never told anyone about what happened”.
In recent months, dozens of women have come forward to accuse Cosby of rape and sexual assault, including “The Cosby Show” actress Lili Bernard, who alleges that the comedian drugged, raped and threatened her while he was mentoring her in preparation for her appearance on the sitcom.
Hughes said she was working as an American Airlines flight attendant in the early 1970s and met Cosby on a flight to Los Angeles.
“It was obvious to me that he did not remember me and used the same line about how I was a ‘fine Irish young lady, ‘” she said. Cosby “flirted” with her during the flight and asked her to meet him for lunch in Beverly Hills afterward. She said no.
Ridgeway, now 69, had a small part in the 1972 Charles Bronson movie “The Mechanic“.
Whitedeer said she met Cosby in 1971 during a job interview. “I couldn’t breathe. I was in shock”.
He offered a sip but she turned it down. “He was mumbling that I had been blessed with his semen as if it was holy water”. She said she was at a hotel room when he gave her champagne after pouring it into her Gucci shoe. But she didn’t want to embarrass him.
Bill Cosby admitted in 2005 that he got quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with, and that he gave the sedative to at least one woman and “other people”, according to a deposition that was recently unsealed.
Reruns of “The Cosby Show” have also been pulled and his statue removed from the Walt Disney World theme park.
She said she never told anyone because she promised her ex not to do anything to embarrass him, because Cosby was too powerful in the industry and because she was anxious about upsetting Cosby’s wife, Camille, who was pregnant at the time.

Waking up hours later, she said she realized that she had been sexually assaulted. “This is making love”.
Allred represents 21 accusers so far, and the lawsuit she is pursuing for one of them, Judy Huth, is the one most likely to force Cosby to answer questions in a deposition.
