Janice Dickinson Says Bill Cosby Drugged And Raped Her

Though it may seem like the new thing to do, for several years now women have been accusing Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting them and oddly enough Bill has never spoken on it and nothing has ever come of the accusations. I wonder if all of that will change now that former model and TV host Janice Dickinson has added her name to the list.

Dickinson told Entertainment Tonight that the incident happened in 1982 in Lake Tahoe, CA where Bill was performing. She said she wrote about the assault in her 2002 autobiography ‘No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World’s First Supermodel’, but that Cosby and his lawyers pressured her and the publisher to remove the details.

Dickinson, now 59, recalls first meeting Cosby, now 77, when her agent set up a meeting with him to hire her for a role on The Cosby Show. After they had dinner, she says their next conversation was when he called her out of the blue while she was in rehab for drugs and alcohol. Following her stay in rehab, Dickinson says Cosby reached out to her during a trip to Bali and had her travel to Lake Tahoe, because he was performing there and wanted to offer her the job they had discussed as well as help her with a singing career.

Dickinson says they had dinner in Lake Tahoe, and claims that he gave her a glass of red wine and a pill, which she asked for because she was menstruating and had stomach pains.

And that’s when she tells ET that things took a disturbing turn.

“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.”

“I’m doing this because it’s the right thing to do, and it happened to me, and this is the true story,” she says about coming out with her story now. “I believe all the other women.”

Dickinson says that keeping the alleged sexual assault a secret for 32 years drove her to a life of hurting herself.

“Stuffing feelings of rape and my unresolved issued with this incident has drove me into a life of trying to hurt myself because I didn’t have counsel and I was afraid,” she says. “I was afraid of the consequences. I was afraid of being labeled a whore or a slut and trying to sleep my way to the top of a career that never took place.”

But now Dickinson, who says she never confronted Cosby after the alleged incident, doesn’t mince words when it comes to what she would say to him now.

“How dare you,” she says. “Go f*ck yourself. How dare you take advantage of me. And I hope you rot.”

Dickinson is the third woman to come forward with a sexual assault accusation against Cosby, after a renewed interest in the allegations began when comedian Hannibal Buress called Cosby a “rapist” during an October comedy show in Philadelphia.

Back in 2006 Bill Cosby settled a civil case with a woman claimed to be assaulted. Over the last few weeks several women have come forward with accusations. These days, I don’t put anything passed anyone. Just because he played a certain type of father figure on television doesn’t mean he doesn’t have it in him to be a creep. I actually think that IF he is guilty of these crimes, Cliff Huxtable is the only reason no one is taking it seriously. That, and the fact he’s been an old man since the 80’s. I sincerely hope none of these allegations are true, though.
