There has been a shocking development in the ongoing reemergence of rape allegations against comedian Bill Cosby. Former 1980’s supermodel Janice Dickinson claimed on the TV show “Entertainment Tonight” that Cosby sexually assaulted her in 1982.
Dickinson stated that it was well-known that she had a drug and alcohol problem when Cosby’s manager called her regarding a role on the hit sitcom the “The Cosby Show.” Cosby had Dickson fly from the country of Bali to Lake Tahoe, Nevada, to discuss the role at his hotel where he was performing. During the course of the evening, Dickson complained about menstrual cramps and stomach pains. That is when Cosby offered her a glass of red wine and a mysterious pill to ease her discomfort.
Dickinson then stated after she took the pill, “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,” Dickinson continues.
Dickinson stated that when she wrote her 2002 autobiography No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World’s First Supermodel, she wanted to include the sexual assault but the publishers and Cosby’s lawyers convinced her to omit the details of the rape. Dickinson claims that the encounter left her traumatized for almost 32 years and now she is coming forward. Dickinson is now the third woman to come forward with rape allegations against Cosby.
