Alleged Bill Cosby Victim Says Hugh Hefner Was Complicit In Her Assault – blogged by @LoveRubyWoo

Last year, model and dancer Chloe Goins accused Bill Cosby of drugging and assaulting her at the Playboy Mansion back in 2008. Goins claimed that after taking a drink from Cosby at a party, she woke up naked and found him licking and biting her toes. Goins, who was just 18 at the time of the alleged incident, filed a civil lawsuit against Cosby last October but decided to drop it a few months ago without explanation.

On Monday, Goins decided to file a new lawsuit against Cosby, but there’s a twist. This time, she has added Playboy founder Hugh Hefner to the suit, alleging that he acted as an accomplice in her assault. During the party where the incident occurred, Goins says that once she started feeling dizzy after taking the drink from Cosby, Hefner suggested she go lie down in one of the bedrooms in the Playboy mansion. 

The new lawsuit states that Cosby and Hefner “both knowingly and willfully agreed and conspired to host parties, invite minors or young adults under the age of 21 years (and) provide them with alcohol and foreign substances” and that Hefner should have known that Cosby “over the years had a propensity for intoxicating and or drugging young women and taking advantage of them sexually against their will or while they were unconscious.”

“As we continued to investigate, we found additional evidence that we felt pointed toward Mr. Hefner being complicit,” Goins’ lawyer, Spencer Kuvin, told New York Daily News. “It’s obviously kind of sad. Mr. Hefner is 90 years old now, and we’re suing him for what he’s done the 30-plus years he was friends with Mr. Cosby. It doesn’t make us happy, but I don’t think he should get away without being held accountable for being complicit.”

This is not the first time Hefner has been linked to an alleged assault committed by Cosby. Another Cosby accuser, Judy Huth, has said that she was also assaulted at the Playboy Mansion back in 1974, and her lawyer, Gloria Allred, is currently trying to depose Hefner to testify in the case.
