TV Land is just racist. /s It is too bad; the show presented a successful relatively wholesome intact black family.

Wow, Lou Ferrigno’s wife just came out and said Cosby drugged her and raped her. On Daily Mail.

What's the deal with DRUGGING women?

Cosby was plenty rich and famous enough to have multiple willing starlets lined up outside his dressing room and trailer.

I don't get the appeal of having intercourse with a drugged/ drunk woman, when you could have a ready and hot-to-trot partner.

From what I've read, true rapists like the struggle and power thing. Sex is secondary to their desires.

Then there's the Clinton quandry.

He CLEARLY imposed himself on unwilling women, but without drugging them.

Indeed, I went back and reread. You are correct.

I think this is new =>

Florida woman becomes fourth in the past month to accuse Bill Cosby of drugging and raping her while wife of Incredible Hulk star Lou Feriggno, Carla, reveals actor tried to sexually assault her

11/20/2014 01:15:00

Therese Serignese has become the fourth woman in the past month to come forward and say she was drugged and raped by Bill Cosby

Serignese, from Boca Raton, Florida, says she met Cosby as a teenager in Las Vegas in 1976, and that he gave her pills

She says her next memory was feeling drugged and waking up to find Cosby having sex with her

Carla Ferrigno is also coming forward to say Cosby tried to sexually assault her at a party in 1967 when she was just a teenager

I’ll never look at J-E-L-L-O the same now.

I think the entire story is sad, and if true, sick.

That’s true, but there’s just too much smoke here not to be a fire. I wouldn’t put all this past Cosby. Not at all.

Is there any evidence, even circumstantial, to support these allegations?

And, nobody’s mentioned Paula Deen. See what they did to her career under the guise of political correctness/petty revenge for daring to tell of Moochelle’s eating habits...

Post 9 mentions the view from 2006 but it doesn’t mention the police report filed in 2000 by a woman.

Since then Cosby settled with the woman in post 9.

This statement is from this week by his lawyer.

“”A blanket denial from Bill Cosby’s lawyer dismissing allegations of sexual abuse by the comedian against several women has been clarified with a subsequent statement.

The new statement released Monday says that Cosby’s denials do not refer to accuser Andrea Constand, whose civil lawsuit against him was settled in 2006.””

“Constand had accused Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 2004.”

The major thing at this point is that Mr. Cosby is unable to deny the rape of Andrea Constand. There's a minor circumstantial point about rubbing the woman's head to concentrate.

Mr. Cosby's attorneys have changed Mr. Cosby's public denial to make it clear that Bill Cosby is not denying that he drugged and raped Ms. Constand. That's likely because Mr. Cosby's 2006 settlement of Ms. Constand's 2005 civil suit contains a provision that does not permit him to deny that he raped her.

Cosby's supporters have pointed out that district attorneys didn't believe Cosby's accusers (that happened in two cases we know of, both of which allegedly involved head-rubbing). One of those cases involved Ms. Constand. The DA who didn't bring a criminal action against Mr. Cosby based on Ms. Constand's 2004 statement to the police was Bruce Castor was the DA of Montgomery County, PA. He says he believes Mr. Cosby was probably guilty but didn't have the evidence to bring the criminal action.

One thing that's curious about Ms. Constand's statement to the police, and in her civil case, is her claim that part of Mr. Cosby's actions included standing behind her and rubbing her head, with Mr. Cosby claiming that it help him concentrate better.

That's curious because early Cosby accuser Barbara Bowman told police, and an attorney who didn't believe her story, years earlier that Bill Cosby stood behind her and rubbed her head, saying that it helped him concentrate, before raping her. Coincidence?

The attorneys for Ms. Constand, again, with whom Mr. Cosby reached a financial settlement, were able in 2005 to locate nine other women who were allegedly willing to testify under oath that Mr. Cosby had also drugged and raped them, and one who would say she was sexually assaulted. They were on the witness list as "Jane Doe" witnesses. Some of these women were allegedly going to provide evidence at trial that Mr. Cosby had paid their travel and living expenses in return for their silence - at least that's what attorney Joyce Dale, who represented six of them women, said. That is not evidence.

Mr. Cosby reached a financial settlement with Ms. Constand while at least some of the Jane Doe witnesses were in flight to Philly for the trial, which was settled on the eve of the opening.

It turns out that two of the "Jane Doe" witnesses were Barbara Bowman and a Cosby show cast member named Lachele Covington, who had lodged a sexual assault claim with police in 2000. And she did. Ms. Covington had been discussing career advice with Mr. Cosby on the set. Mr. Cosby and his attorneys do not deny this. Mr. Cosby invited Ms. Covington to his home for dinner and more career advice. Mr. Cosby and his attorneys do not deny this.

Ms. Covington says that Mr. Cosby said that when he wants to do deep thinking, he uses a variety of relaxation techniques, and he began rubbing her head as he stood behind her. I think I've heard this before. Mr. Cosby and his attorneys do not deny this.

Ms. Covington says that Mr. Cosby then touched her breasts (earlier, I missed that) and tried to force her hand down the front of his sweatpants; some sources say that he exposed himself. At any rate, Ms. Covington told the police that she pulled her hand away, said no, and began to leave, and which point Mr. Cosby said "that's fine." Mr. Cosby and his attorneys say this never happened.

The police told Ms. Covington that because Mr. Cosby quit when she said 'no,' no molestation had occurred.

In one report, I've read that in connection with another of the allegations, Mr. Cosby admitted to possessing drug-rapey-type pills of the type the woman alleged Mr. Cosby gave to her under the guise that they were medical pills, but said he didn't give her any. I've never seen any other confirmation of that claim.
