The suit claims that Cosby “never drugged nor sexually assaulted” the seven women. Furthermore, the suit implies that the claims of the women directly led to the dismissal of Cosby’s proposed deals with #Netflix and #NBC. “Each Counterclaim Defendant induced both NBC and Netflix to postpone or cancel their contracts with Mr. Cosby by engaging in a campaign to assassinate Mr. Cosby’s reputation and character by willfully, maliciously, and falsely accusing Mr. Cosby of multi decade-old purported sexual misconduct in an opportunistic attempt to extract financial gain from their allegations,” states the counterclaim filed.
Cosby’s lawyer Monique Pressley released a statement in regards to suit on Monday. The) defendants’ multi-decade old, false, uncorroborated, opportunistic allegations of sexual assault have caused and continue to cause him to suffer substantial injuries and damages to reputation, business contracts, shame, mortification, damages to property, business, trade, profession and occupation,” Pressley stated.
