Bill Cosby Scores Victory Against Insurance Company

According to a stipulation filed Friday, a third amended complaint will also include “new claims and allegations by the original three plaintiffs, all so that the seven plaintiffs may claim defamation, false light, and/or intentional infliction of emotional distress”.

BOSTON (AP) – Four more women joined a federal lawsuit against Bill Cosby Friday, claiming the comedian sexually abused them and later defamed them by letting his representatives publicly label their stories lies.

The 60-year-old Dickinson is among over 50 women who have taken a step and have accused Cosby of sexually assaulting them after plying them with drugs or alcohol.

Actresses Barbara Bowman, Louisa Moritz and Angela Leslie, and publicist Joan Tarshis, have joined a lawsuit alleging that Cosby defamed them after his lawyers branded them “liars” when they brought their allegations forward.

She said Cosby agreed to mentor her and eventually moved her to NY.

Moritz has now said that not only were the comments defamatory, but that Cosby’s team also brought up irrelevant information about the star to smear her in the public eye – including that she became a lawyer and was then disciplined by the State Bar of California. “I am a truth-teller”.

Therese Serignese says she was exposed to similar ridicule after coming forward and alleging Cosby assault her at a party in 1967 when she was just 19.

Cammarata said he plans to depose Cosby and his associates as part of the defamation lawsuit.

Meanwhile, a California appellate court on Thursday put on hold a lower court’s ordered deposition in Dickinson’s separate defamation lawsuit against the comedian and his former attorney Marty Singer. She tweeted a statement saying she is confident the depositions will go forward once the Court of Appeal has heard all the arguments on the issues.

However, Cosby’s spokeswoman, Monique Pressley, said in a statement that Dickinson has not yet met the legal burden needed to compel Cosby and Singer to give depositions. 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.
