With rape allegations against Bill Cosby mounting, supermodel Janice Dickinson tells ET in a new interview that the comedian sexually assaulted her in 1982.
Dickinson, now 59, recalls first meeting Cosby, now 77, when her agent set up a meeting with him to hire her for a role on The Cosby Show. After they had dinner, she says their next conversation was when he called her out of the blue while she was in rehab for drugs and alcohol. Following her stay in rehab, Dickinson says Cosby reached out to her during a trip to Bali and had her travel to Lake Tahoe, because he was performing there and wanted to offer her the job they had discussed as well as help her with a singing career.
Dickinson says they had dinner in Lake Tahoe, and claims that he gave her a glass of red wine and a pill, which she asked for because she was menstruating and had stomach pains.

And that's when she tells ET that things took a disturbing turn.
"The next morning I woke up, and I wasn't wearing my pajamas, and I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man," she tells ET. "... Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning I remember waking up with my pajamas off and there was semen in between my legs."

Nobody says anything over a 45 year period and now, everybody “remembers”.
I dunno.

This is not looking good for Cosby at all.
If a woman or women accused me of this behavior, and I was innocent, I would deny it outright and tell them if you speak of me this way again, we are going to court about it.
I do not see him doing that, and I find that suspicious.
I refer to the Jimmy Saville, BBC scandal in England right now. Saville died I think in 2012 and while there had been some allegations, after he died they had people going back 50 years that came forward that had been abused a kids by this monster and no statue of limitations here. This investigation has led to other BBC people being found out and they are being prosecuted.
It only takes a spark and there you are.
“last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning I remember waking up with my pajamas off and there was semen in between my legs”>>>>>>
Given what happened, it could have been Bill, the butler, the canary, the chauffeur, and Bills dog, one after the other.
Hardly the evidentiary stuff that would stand in a court of law.Which is why Bill is saying nothing.
I’m gonna adopt a “wait and see” attitude on this one.

Is Bill running for public office as a Republican?
before the nationwide ferguson obama is planning any black who has said blacks need to be responsible for themselves,must be torn down.
A lot of these cases are well past the statute of limitations. So what are the women looking for? validation and closure, or money?

One comes forward, then they all do. It’s a ‘safety in numbers’ thing, or catharsis, or group empowerment stuff..
When you sit back and realize the hell rapists put women through, you start to understand why so many women are screwed up.
Feminists and loose women, from my vantage point, are often trying to water down the “meaning” of their forced sexual encounter—often from a relative or neighbor when younger. Feminists try to subject men, while loose women try to minimize it beneath hundreds of encounters they can feel they willingly invited.
Sadly, I don’t doubt Janice.
HA! Unfortunately this isn't that far off the mark. i.e. Herman Cain - which was most certainly political bull$hit. After Clinton we have to assume the rats don't care what a liberal does - as long as he stays liberal.
But it doesn't feel that way for me. I have long thought there was something about Cosby that didn't ring true with his public image, and then you hear this type of thing...
Travis McGee, who has been on FR for a while and is regarded as reliable, posted an anecdote which would have rung true with me if it had been posted ten years ago:

Bill Cosby Stays Mum When Asked About Rape Allegations, David Letterman Appearance Cancelled

I posted this up-thread.
“I knew a skilled yacht painter in Charleston SC 20 years ago. He also did high-end private plane and jet painting jobs. He did a custom paint job for Cosby’s jet and was around him long enough to be shocked. He said he had never met or known somebody who was so 180* different in real life from the crafted TV persona. He was a screamer, a dictator, and a constant humiliator of his family, posse, assistants, and even temporary employees like him when no cameras were rolling.”
This was totally shocking and almost unbelievable to me at the time, it was so 180* out of his image and what I believed of him. This custom painter (technically skilled artist) had many anecdotes that covered the several weeks he was in occasional contact with Cosby and his posse. It was so amazingly out of sync with his image, that it was shocking. According to his version, Cosby went into screaming tirades at the drop of a hat. Family, posse, worker-bees, anybody. I had no reason do disbelieve this painter/artist. For 20 years, I’ve been waiting for a story like this to drop.

Now, this is an anecdote. I have no idea if it is true. But I compare it to when I heard that Robin Williams killed himself.
It made perfect sense. In the same way it did not seem out of character with a gut feeling I had on him, this thing with Cosby is the same way.
I don't care for feeding frenzies like this, but...I think he is absolutely guilty of what he is being accused of.
Ping...
All these allegations and not a single formal charge via a police report. I’m suspicious about the timing of all this, as Cosby has angered race pimps and other liberals by accentuating personal responsibility among blacks. Having seen the directed attacks on Herman Cain two years ago, followed by sudden silence after he left the campaign, I’m having a difficult time believing this is an alinskyite line of attack.
What's the first step in Alinsky's tactics?
Isolate.
Conservatives will flee from someone accused of sexual impropriety (look at the character assassination of Herman Cain).
By cutting Cosby off, the wolf pack is targeting him, justified or not.
I don't know the facts, but with Cosby's history of calling for responsibility in the community, I would not put it past the generals of the FSA to target him.
I was abused by a Catholic priest when I was a kid, in some other part of the world. Never heard or read about him as I grew up, never knew what happened to him.
When I heard decades years later that he was on trial in my state for abusing some kid, I immediately called the DA to tell them my story. They drove out and spent an hour or two with me, recording my story.
I wasn’t interested in money, or even seeing him burn. As a matter of fact, when I went to his trial and saw him for the first time after all those years, I felt only pity for such a twisted person, not hatred. I thought, how much it must suck to have what he had for a life, a twisted waste. No hatred at all, just...pity. Strange, I would never in a million years have thought that is the way I would react when I saw him nearly four decades later.
I don’t know why I called the DA. It wasn’t for revenge, it wasn’t for closure, it wasn’t for money...
I guess it was for the truth. Just to be sure the truth was told.
So...I look at this situation, and am wondering the same thing about these women. It could be for money, but it just doesn’t feel that way to me.
Unfortunate, either way.
Cosby is finsihed....and probably should be.
