Over 50 women came forward. Cosby still denies sexually assault them. |
So over 50 women accused the entertainer of sexual misconduct.
There was an explosive interview on Dateline. There were over 27 women who sat with Kate Snow to tell the nation that Dr. William H. Cosby, Jr. is a nasty pervert.
Bill Cosby, the famous comedian and America's day seen his legacy collapse before his eyes.
The guy who told Black men to pull his pants up is caught with his pants down. And now he's facing an embarrassing moment in which all the women who idolized him now scorning him.
He would groom actresses and model at his private home. He would engage in conversation with the women and give them a drink. The drink would have a funny taste in it. After eight hours, you're in his bedroom with no clothes and a satisfied comedian.
When you threaten to tell the law on him, he would cut a $$$$$$$$ check.
I mean he's worth $430 million. From his sitcoms, movies, animations, books, endorsements, and comedy albums, he made millions.
A defamation lawsuit brought against Bill Cosby by three women who say he sexually abused them decades ago can move forward, a federal judge in Massachusetts ruled Friday, delivering a legal blow to the comedian as he attempts to defend himself against accusations of sexual assault by dozens of women.
Over a two dozen women went to NBC to share their horrific experience with America's dad. |
But in his ruling Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Mastroianni rejected Cosby's bid to dismiss the case before it ever goes to a jury.
The women — Tamara Green, Therese Serignese and Linda Traitz — have accused Cosby of drugging them and then having unwanted sexual contact with them.
The comments they claim were defamatory range from statements dismissing their accusations as "ridiculous claims" and "absurd fabrication" to longer remarks that sought to discredit the accusers.
Keisha Knight-Pulliam can't defend Bill no more. She sits with celebrity agitator Wendy Williams to discuss the accusations. |
In his ruling, Mastroianni rejects Cosby's argument that the statements were legal declarations made in self-defense.
"The court recognizes that some jurisdictions do apply a version of the conditional self-defense privilege, which allows individuals, in certain circumstances, to publish defamatory responsive statements necessary to defend their reputation. However ... such a privilege does not permit a defendant to knowingly publish false statements of fact," the judge wrote in his 38-page ruling.
Malcolm Jamal-Warner said he can't defend Bill. |
"As we'd expected and hoped, the judge rejected every one of Mr. Cosby's attempts to throw the case out of court and allowed the case to proceed," said Joseph Cammarata, an attorney who represents the three women.
"We will take Mr. Cosby's deposition at the earliest possible moment. My clients look forward to moving the case forward and to restoring their good names and reputations."
"Dateline NBC" aired a special Friday night in which 29 Cosby accusers were interviewed together about their allegations. Cosby has never been charged with a crime and he has denied the allegations.
Cosby was deposed Friday in a Los Angeles case against him. Lawyer Gloria Allred, the defendant's lawyer in that case, said she would speak on the deposition Saturday in Boston. A third lawsuit in also pending in Los Angeles.
Court documents unsealed in July show Cosby admitting in 2005 to carrying on extramarital relationships with several women, including some who accuse him of sexual assault. The testimony added to the unsavory details that have all but wrecked his nice-guy reputation as TV's Dr. Cliff Huxtable and made a mockery of his preaching about decency and personal responsibility.
