Bill Cosby: Three more accusers come forward with graphic details
Alongside attorney Gloria Allred, three more women came forward for the first time on Wednesday to accuse Billy Cosby of victimizing them, according to CBS Los Angeles.
Colleen was a flight attendant for American Airlines. Unlike some of his other accusers, Linda said she was not drugged during the assault. She said he grabbed the back of her head by her hair.
“His attack was fast with surgical precision and surprise on his side”, she said, adding that Cosby forced her to perform oral sex. His attorneys have said that he never sexual assaulted women. “I couldn’t breathe. I was in shock”.
The latest accusers include Linda Ridgeway and Eden Tirl, who had brief careers as actresses, and Colleen Hughes, a former flight attendant.
“My clothes were thrown all over the room and I felt semen on the small of my back and all over me”, Hughes said.
A year later, Hughes saw Cosby on another flight in which he allegedly began flirting with her again.
Before giving the podium to the women, Allred mentioned the comments made by Cosby’s lawyer Monique Pressley, who stopped by HuffPost Live in July.
“Even to this day”, she continued, “I am still ashamed”.
Ridgeway, who appeared in the 1972 movie The Mechanic, said that Cosby sexually assaulted her while she was waiting for a job interview.
He had invited her to a lunch in Beverly Hills with another stewardess, and would accompany them to their hotel room so they could clean up after the trip. She said she was at a hotel room when he gave her champagne after pouring it into her Gucci shoe. He is scheduled to be deposed in October as part of a lawsuit filed by Judy Huth, who accused him of sexually assaulting her in 1974.
Cosby has not been charged with a crime and he and his representatives have denied allegations in the past.
Matt Rourke/AP Three more women on Wednesday lobbed sex abuse allegations at Bill Cosby. She claimed that Cosby tried to force his penis into her mouth. The last thing Hughes claimed to remember was Cosby attempting to hold her hand, after which she woke up hours later. Allred has promised to grill him, and will seek to make the deposition public.
Sadly, despite the scores of women who have come forward with shocking accounts of Cosby’s transactions, it seems that the comedy legend will never face a criminal trial. “Stand up like a woman and do it and please do not give some ridiculous excuse as to why you will not accept the challenge”.
There was no immediate response from Pressley to either the new accusers or Allred’s challenge.
