I was never in circles where that was obvious to me. Of course, it's possible that Cosby had trouble with women just because he was an assh*le. I have always detected a high degree of assh*liness lurking just below the surface of his public persona.
The theory is that Cosby prefers sex that way, one long term girlfriend says that he even did it to her once (slipped her drugs to incapacitate her), although she says that she would have gone along with most anything, anyway.
Here is an interesting, and at the time, unexplained, but creepy request, that he would make on the Late Show.
“Female staffers at “The Late Show With David Letterman” are breathing a collective sigh of relief they don’t have to deal with an upcoming Bill Cosby appearance. A source close to the show tells Confidenti@l that the disgraced comic had some truly bizarre backstage requests.
“He’d include as a request, before he arrived, that the young girls, interns and assistants, all had to gather around in the green room backstage and sit down and watch him eat curry,” our stunned source explains. “No one would say anything, and he would sit silently eating and make us watch and want us to watch.”—snip—he’d act alarmingly gross to the women employees.
While our source adds that everyone hated the odd preshow ritual, they were asked by producers to do it because “that’s what he (Cosby) wanted.”
