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."

Glad I never watched ‘’The Cosby Show’’ or fell for his occasional conservative rhetoric about “black responsibility”
But Cosby remained liberal Democrat, didn’t he, despite his preaching to black hoodlums?
She had a show on TV a few years ago. Disgusting woman.
I refuse to believe this, unless you post some cheesecake photos of yourself on the thread.
Photos in the model of Vargas:
I am truly sorry for the pain you were caused... but you called the DA, not the press.... that I think is what I think makes a lot of this more dubious than it may be.
Most of these stories I’ve read on this follow some line, I wanted to be a star, he was Bill Cosby... I went back with him somewhere, or had an ongoing relationship with him hoping to be a star and at some point was eventually raped.
Now, no criminal charges were ever filed, to my knowledge at any time... there were some civil settlements made to some of these women.
I just have a hard time believing that so many women were victimized and no DA anywhere did anything if they had cases if they were approached by the victims. We aren’t talking a Jerry Sandusky who lived in a small town controlled by a few folks associated with PSU, you are talking about alleged rapes that happened all over the country over the course of decades if allegations are to be believed, and not one resulted in a criminal indictment? I think that’s what makes me keep a skeptical stance at this point....
I don’t think he’s completely innocent, but I think you have a more than a little, buyers remorse going on in some of this.
This article seems to be about as close as Cosby ever got to being charged, and the DA admitted there was not enough evidence to get a conviction.

Bill Cosby Thanksgiving Special Shelved by Netflix Amidst New Rape Accusations

I understand that his silence is his right in a court of law.
But it is also my right to make a decision on my own regarding his silence.
If he doesn’t address it, he looks guilty to me.
All he has to say, with his own mouth, is that he didn’t do it.
I got relieved of jury duty once in a stolen car case, because the defense made it clear that their client was not going to take the stand.
That’s fine, and I realize that it’s his right, but if they want me to decide his culpability, I’d need to hear about the incident from him.
The judge was most furious with me, and scolded me, but I don’t care at all. I’m not going to try to decide a man’s innocence without hearing from him. That is very suspicious behavior to me.
Yeah, it looks bad, just like it did with Herman Cain.
He never effectively addressed the allegations either, and it cost him.
All those women were likely full of it, but they won, they got what they wanted.
I wouldn’t go as far as to say constantly defending.
But were this me, I would at least once call up the press and say I am going to state my innocence here and at this time.
Send someone out to cover it if it matters to you, or don’t, but that’s when it’s going to happen, and then I’m done with it.
It is never wise to speak out while waiting for an investigation to finish.
I have a theory too; men are easily seduced by lust and prone to all types of sexual sin, including plying women with alchohol and/or other drugs to sate their lust temporarily. As with certain priests, pastors, rabbis, and presidents, when there is a pattern, it is unwise to assume those telling you they were sexually assaulted are all lying. It may be there are a lot of such sins and Bill Cosby already confessed them to some clergy. If he lies now he commits a mortal sin. Therefore he says nothing.
There must be myriads with those sins where they have not confessed them to clergy. Might they then bear a huge sense of guilt and denial, and if not walking in the Spirit, even think that by wishing away Cosby's accusers they may remain undiscovered too ?
Who is investigating this?
As far as I can see, this is something that is occurring in the press and in public.
Are there law enforcement agencies performing an active criminal investigation of Cosby?
And if so, I understand that it is never wise to talk to police, because police are not your friends, but publically stating that you did not do a heinous crime is different.
Travis,
I agree this is no court, but it seemed a good forum to raise the issues I attempted in my post.
I haven’t sufficient data to say regarding Cosby.
What I can say, with certainty, is that HollyWeird is de facto communist and has been since well before Sterling Haydon was an actor. That colleague who listened to the mother/daughter I referred to in my previous post was taken to Communist Party cell meetings by Warren Thompkins and Issac Folkov.
Yes, there were HollyWeird directors, producers, and actors along with newspaper editors and professors. The ‘usual suspects’.
HollyWeird can be compared to the police in their desire to “Protect Our Own”. Be it the “Thin Blue Line”, AKA “Blue Wall Of Silence”, or “Pervs-R-Us”, they cover for each other because they see the world as us against them.
Unfortunately, the “Them” in this discussion is females who are other peoples daughters. Still, who lets a daughter go to HollyWeird?
Just askin’.
Perhaps, places like HollyWeird should be named on maps as once were places with unknown but dreaded dangers - “There be dragons.”
Or, “There be Pervs”.
It is possible I am biased, but...as I said in my earlier posting...there was something I saw in him decades ago that set off alarms in me.
They certainly weren’t alarms that he was a drugger/raper, but there was something about him that said loud and clear in my head that there was something not right, something at odds with this man.
I just feel that way. I don’t have any proof for or against like anyone else on this board...that is for sure.
It was called "Leonard Part 6."
You have your facts wrong.
Over thirty years ago people were saying things.
Over thirty years ago, Bill Cosby was settling civil actions and settling claims before civil actions were filed. Cosby was paying for women's living expenses.
The reason attention has been currently focused on this is because comedian Hannibal Buress told a Cosby "rape" joke in Philly on the night of October 16. This was reported on the internet, a video was uploaded to YouTube, Howard Stern invited Buress to appear on his show . . . and Cosby's world exploded.
AFTER Buress opened up all of the claims from 1985 - not claims that were kept secret for 45 years - did other women start to come forward.
Please remember that some of the "Jane Does" named in the 1985 litigation as potential witnesses have still never come forward - although Cosby's paid their living expenses.
Sorry. You're wrong.
