Latest Cosby Accuser: Lou Ferrigno's Wife

Yet more women have come forward to accuse Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting them—or in the case of Carla Ferrigno, wife of Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno, attempting to sexually assault them. Ferrigno tells the Daily Mail that in 1967, when she was still a teenager, a date brought her to Cosby's home and the comedian tried to force himself on her when both her date and Cosby's wife had left the room.

I am not sure why people are thinking these women are disingenuous.

i know this should not matter, but it would be helpful if at least one of the women were someone who made it big in the business... Janice Dickinson did make it big as a model, but she also blew her standing... she is bizarre, odd... said Sylvester Stallone was the father of her baby--which turned out to be false... she was devastated to learn he was not... she really wanted him to be... she is such a loud mouth who always seems to tell it like it is... i am surprised she did not come out with this sooner... like back in 1982...

that being said, i have liked Janice for a long time... her brash personality, her career as a model back in the day... she was so pretty... through the years she has had many cringe-worthy moments--and i began to feel sorry for her...

That’s why he’s perverted.
I was agreeing with the sentence (italicized) from the post I replied to.

So you really don’t know anything about this, you just want to make light of rape it seems and mock and attack the females.

[ansel12]

Some of these women were pretty successful in show business, modeling, as agents, and outside of show business, why is that important?

[mrsmel]

Thank you. I swear, conservatives are so desperate for the “great black conservative hope’, that they will latch on to any remark a black person makes that even remotely gives them a hand hold. I’ve given up on pointing out that Dr Ben Carson isn’t exactly a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment.

We excoriate the likes of Lindsey Graham (rightfully so), when, even with his major lapses, he’s more a “conservative” than Cosby.

Since when is rape from 2004 30-40 years ago?

[TexasFreeper2009]

I know about as much as you know or anyone does about this, which is basically nothing except a lot of women have suddenly come out of the woodwork to accuse Cosby of raping them decades ago.

I pointed out that something doesn't seem right about the whole thing, it seems too coordinated.

But, like I said, who knows Cosby might have been drugging and raping women for years and leaving Jello molds on their tummies as a calling card.

[Alex Murphy]

And I suppose we are supposed to believe Lou (AKA The Incredible Hulk) never heard anything going on?

LOL you do know that Ferrigno has been mostly deaf since childhood, don't you?

[MHGinTN]

LOL ... yeah, you’re still obsessed.

[spacejunkie2001]

did cosby leave the dem party?

[fieldmarshaldj]

I remember ‘78 since that was his last year as Attorney General while running for Governor. Imagine the helplessness of someone raped by the highest ranking law enforcement officer in a state at a time that it was one party ?

[ansel12]

Some people are deliberately and willfully ignorant and determined to remain so, they choose opinions that make them feel good and hug them as comfortable.

That is why we see posters who even after weeks or months of seeing information that should correct their misperceptions and inaccurate facts, they still post as though they have never seen it.

This Cosby thing is like that, people keep repeating that it is 30-40 years old, that no one ever reported it, that this was a new story just created, and on and on.

That’s how the predators operate. They choose marks who won’t rat them out for whatever reason. The victims could be young, naive and easily intimidated into silence (pedo favorites), or morally compromised themselves and don’t want their own laundry out there, or they consider it the price of seeking fame and fortune.

Abusers rely on these retaining walls of silence, but once a sufficient crack develops, the weight of rocks and earth piled behind them can no longer be held back.

When the media is on an abuser’s side, the repair crews are out 24/7. Eventually even the media runs short of workers and mortar.

[Ted Grant]

I can just observe what it looks like, based on limited info.

[TexasFreeper2009]

it's not that exactly.

When someone like Lindsey Graham comes out in support of some stupid liberal idea... I get angry because he grew up in the south in a conservative state and should know better!

While I am more supportive of ANY statement a black person makes which reveals that the truth that they have been blind too until then is starting to be seen by them. I don't expect them to convert 100% overnight to a hard right conservative but believe they should be supported in their journey, especially knowing how much flack they are going to take from other blacks for straying from the reservation with “uncle tom” comments and the like.

[ansel12]

That was a nightmare situation for Broadrick involving Clinton.

Cosby is and always was very powerful and rich in showbiz and I think some here don’t know that.

Cosby isn’t just successful, he is about 400 to 500 million dollar successful.

I know about as much as you know or anyone does about this, which is basically nothing except a lot of women have suddenly come out of the woodwork to accuse Cosby of raping them decades ago.

You evidently don't, for instance 2004 isn't decades ago, nor is the police report filed in 2000.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Upon further research, apparently not, I just remembered his comments about black thugs years ago and extrapolated that he might have begun to turn conservative at that point. But apparently not, he is an Obama boot licker.

[TexasFreeper2009]

2004 is a decade ago, and 2000 is even further back.

I am always suspicious in situations like this.

Is it no possible these women are simply smelling blood and are looking for a pay day?

The whole thing reminds me of the Herman Cain situation.
