So he drugs them and then waits until they’re alert to attack them - but then none of them remembered any of this until decades later?
This woman says at the time this happened she was living with the man she later married - yet she said nothing to him about this incident until 2005, when Constand’s lawyer was looking for other women. Like so many of the stories, totally unbelievable. To believe yourself drugged and an attempted rape - coming home after 5am when invited to an evening “party”, wearing pantyhose with the feet torn to shreds because you were aimlessly wandering around a swimming pool - and yet neither the live-in boyfriend nor you bothers to talk about what happened?
Unbelievable. Literally. Unless he was used to her not coming home at night, this is totally unbelievable. If I didn’t come home at night you better believe that my husband would want to know what had happened. And if somebody had drugged and tried to rape me, you better believe I would tell him. And if I didn’t he would be livid.
My adult recollections do not go back as far as 1965 but my parents’ recollections do. i have gathered a very general and hazy impression that sexual matters were not often talked about face to face. you raise a good point but there are still plausible explanations such as that she was ashamed and worried that her boyfriend would get dragged into a situation resulting in the end of her career. they were not married at the time so this would potentially leave her without a job and without a home as well if her boyfriend subsequently decided to end the relationship for any reason. she could have covered it up by saying that she stayed over at a girl friend’s place for a while and got sick.
here is the video of the interview. while you have a right to believe what you want about the woman, you might as well check the demeanor in which she delivers the contemporaneous answers. you can, incidentally, hear her husband occasionally making a supportive comment from behind the camera.
the woman seems totally calm and collected, and not on an agenda other than to tell the truth. if this is some kind of conspiracy to bring down cosby, then why would this woman tell about not telling her future husband until later? —i suspect it is because to some degree it fits in with the time period. remember my warning about presentism. if you contend she is not telling the truth, are you saying that she permitted cosby to seduce her? because she is giving specific details about cosby’s residence. oh, and she does not even bother to mesh her story with reports that cosby bought his wife a home back east and that cosby’s LA place was in fact a bachelor pad without the regular presence of his wife there. you would expect that the woman would indicate awareness of this if she had an agenda. i suppose one could argue that the woman deliberately left a couple of loose ends but then you are left with all the other potentially checkable information, and the lack of personal gain as an agenda, plus that the woman can reasonably be expected to have her name and reputation dragged into the mud by cosby’s legal/publicity pitbull team. at this point, perhaps, she could still be an attention whore, but she does not seem to have that need either. she seems like an upper middle class retired solid citizen type.
