14 DAY TRIAL // This Bill Cosby scandal is getting weirder and weirder. It's hard to get a feel for things when Cosby won't talk about the issue, something that many people say makes him look guilty, and when more and more women step forward to say Cosby has done awful things to them over the years.
After on Tuesday former supermodel Janice Dickinson gave an interview to Entertainment Tonight in which she detailed how Bill Cosby raped her in 1982 after he drugged her in his Lake Tahoe home, yesterday Louisa Moritz, a 68-year-old actress came forward with some equally disturbing news.
Moritz claims that Cosby assaulted her while she was waiting to go live on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
Moritz is famous for playing in the ‘70s show “Love American Style” and she is quoted by TMZ as saying that Bill Cosby once forced himself on her while they were backstage of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
This happened in New York in 1971, while they were waiting in the green room to make their way to the live show. The actress explains that she was sitting down and Cosby knocked on the door, let himself in, and began talking, telling her how he was impressed with her work and “implied that he was going to see to it that I will become a major star through his direction.”
Before she knew it, the actress claims that Cosby “suddenly approached me and took out his [genitals], which were now in the line of my face and pressed up against it.” What followed next is predictable “He took his hands and put them on the back of my head and forced his [genitals] in my mouth, saying, 'have a taste of this. It will do you good in so many ways.'”
After molesting her, Cosby allegedly warned her not to speak about the matter
After the deed was done, Cosby allegedly zipped up and walked out of the room, but not before warning Moritz to keep quiet about the incident “Now you don't want to upset me and the plans for your future, do you?”
The actress claims that this is the first time she's spoken about the incident and that she plans to file a civil lawsuit against Cosby, although she is fully aware of the fact that the statute of limitations has run.
Cosby's camp is denying all accusations
Cosby has decided to keep mum on the subject, refusing to even address the issue in a recent AP interview that was recently broadcast. His lawyer, Marty Singer, did go on the record and say that “We've reached a point of absurdity. The stories are getting more ridiculous.”
He has previously denied all allegations brought against his client calling them absurd. The allegations are not new, since women have been coming forward to accuse Cosby of abusive behavior for years. But they resurfaced at the beginning of the month, when Cosby's biography came out and it left out the rape allegations altogether.
This started a snowball effect that has led to several other women coming forward to confess about past incidents involving the famous actor and comedian.
