A predatory Bill Cosby, in a freaky Las Vegas hotel scene, allegedly assaulted another actress — who was forced to fondle America’s Dad in his luxury suite.

The naked Cosby was lying in wait before the 1992 ambush of model-actress Angela Leslie, a beauty who says she was targeted after sending the comedian a letter and photograph.

“The main thing I want is for people to know him for who he really is,” Leslie told the Daily News on Thursday. “He’s not this dad of America.”

After a driver delivered her to the hotel, she checked into her room before Cosby summoned Leslie to his place. When she spoke about her career aspirations, Cosby called for an impromptu audition.

“a beauty who says she was targeted after sending the comedian a letter and photograph”

Yeah. OK. So she solicited his attention. She got it.

Yep. Now if I can just erase Flowers and Willey from my recollections, I will be well on my way to forgetting Bill Clinton ever existed. I wish.

The seriousness of the charge is all that matters.

We need Whoopi to tell us if this was “rape-rape”.

Without excusing anything at all on the part of Cosby’s alleged behavior...

I for one wonder why he ever felt like he needed to do this. Far lesser celebs than he was routinely have women throwing themselves at them. He was king of the hill, he should have never had the slightest need to do anything at all to bed women.

He was a regular at the Playboy mansion.

I suspect most of this is about money, kinda like the former owner of the Clippers. Cosby is getting up there in age and it’s time to get what you can before he kicks the bucket.

A rather amazing coincidence...if these women are telling the truth, then Cosby is one of the biggest serial rapists in recent American history. A member of my immediate family was the victim of a sexual assault, so I know how difficult it can be for women to come forward and confront their attackers.

Still, given the number of victims who have surfaced over the past month, you’d think that some of them would have gone to the police. As far as I can tell, only one went to the authorities, and the case was dismissed due to a lack of evidence. The others suffered in silence and are only now coming forward—after the statute of limitations has expired. And some of the new claims are dubious, at best. Janice Dickinson? Is there anyone she hasn’t slept with? Still, the parade of accusers has grown exponentially and shows no sign of diminishing.

All of this began with a stand-up bit by a virtually unknown comedian. But somehow the routine went viral, and in the blink of an eye, the legion of victims began telling their stories to any reporter who would listen.

Coincidence? Perhaps. A well-orchestrated “hit” on what’s left of Mr. Cosby’s career? Less likely, but still a possibility. This much is certain: Hollywood remains capable of protecting those deemed valuable and silencing their critics. Look at the “reception” for the new documentary on child predators in the entertainment industry. It’s the work of a celebrated film maker, but she can’t find a distribution deal for her work. And according to one review, the documentary gingerly steps around accusations involving some of the biggest names linked to the scandal.

In other words, someone in Hollywood decided that Bill Cosby was no longer worth protecting.

Maybe you should check that attitude and piss off with that muslim attitude.

"He didn’t make me feel special in any way."

A rather odd thing to say about someone who allegedly assaulted you.

But this stuff happened long ago, like 30 years ago, didn’t it? He wasn’t 26 y/o but he wasn’t the obviously old man he is today.

Is that the cliche you use to defend Clinton against the claim that he raped one woman, in 1984?

Cosby is drowning in evidence that we don’t have on Clinton, yet I think that Clinton is a rapist.

Yeah, in Hollywood casting and seeking roles, those seeking work never send photos or try to make contact with the people making those casting decisions.

I’m surprised that one or more of these women haven’t already sued him for millions for possibly endangering their lives with stealth drugging he did. I guess no one felt her case was strong enough.
