Janice Dickinson Files Defamation Lawsuit Against Bill Cosby

Last year Janice Dickinson accused Bill Cosby of drugging and raping her in 1982. She also accused Cosby’s team of forcing her to omit those details from her autobiography.  Bill Cosby’s lawyer quickly went public to refute those claims, saying that Dickinson was a liar and now Dickinson is suing for defamation.

“I want justice done. I want Lisa Bloom (her lawyer) to depose Bill Cosby, get him on the stand and in front of a jury and let the law decide.”

Bloom also weighed in.

“Calling Dickinson a liar is a defamatory statement under the law … and that’s the mistake Bill Cosby made,” Bloom said.

“It was too late to for her to sue for rape or for drugging, but once he through his representatives called her a liar she had a fresh claim for defamation and that’s the lawsuit that we filed today.”

Bloom said they asked Cosby to retract his claim that she lied, but he refused. 

She said Cosby’s team has 30 days to respond to their lawsuit and they plan to seek his deposition “as early as possible.”

Cosby’s lawyers could not be reached Wednesday for response to Dickinson’s lawsuit.

About 30 other women have alleged in the last year that Cosby assaulted them over the last 40 years.
