Bill Cosby — I Got My Quaaludes from a Gynecologist

We bet you never considered that Bill Cosby was getting his Quaaludes from his gynecologist, but that’s exactly what he testified to in a deposition from the now-infamous 2005 sexual assault civil case.

The Washington Post reports seeing previously sealed documents from the 2005 lawsuit against Cosby by Andrea Constand, a Temple University employee who alleged Cosby drugged and raped her. The suit was settled before it got to court.

Cosby, now 78, admitted to receiving seven prescriptions for the pills – known as “disco biscuits” during the ’70s – from Amar, under guise of using them for his sore back.

Bill Cosby admitted ten years ago in a deposition that he gave women drugs for the objective of sex, but how did he get them?

He was then asked; ‘Did you believe at that time that it was illegal for you to dispense those drugs?’.

In the deposition, Cosby repeatedly says he did not know Green and had no recollection of meeting her during a singing audition that she said had been arranged by Amar. “He warned Cosby never to do anything like that again to Green”. In that instance, the doctor ultimately decided to “confront Cosby, nearly coming to blows”.

Amar died in 1992, and multiple members of his family did not respond to requests for comment in the story.

“I would not doubt in a minute that Amar would sign a prescription to give anybody anything they wanted”.

Amar, a gynecologist and plastic surgeon, obtained licenses in California, New York and Maryland throughout his troubled career. “That’s just the way he was”.

And yet even Amar frowned on what Cosby was doing. He also helped an unlicensed business partner to practice medicine.

Amar had his own problems as well, losing his license to practice medicine in 1979 after it was discovered he had ‘engaged in the most serious misconduct.’. Amar practiced plastic surgery for a time, despite admitting to investigators that he wasn’t fully qualified.

For decades, Amar faced numerous conflicts with medical boards, during which he was placed on probation and had his license revoked and reinstated. In 2001, the physician died in Los Angeles.
