Janice Dickinson is not backing down.
The veteran model made major headlines this week when she accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault and, despite the comedian’s attorney denying this accusation, Dickinson insisted on its validity in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday.
"I’m coming forward because this is the right thing to do and it happened to me and this is the true story," Dickinson says in the following Q&A.
Dickinson says the rape took place in 1982 after Cosby called and invited her to Lake Tahoe.
She says Cosby put something in her red wine, she awoke without her pajamas on and the last thing she remembers is Cosby taking off his robe and getting on top of her.
She never confronted the actor about the alleged assault.
With this accusation, Dickinson becomes the 15th woman to accuse Bill Cosby of sexual assault.
The former sitcom star – who had been speaking with NBC about anchoring a new series, until the network pulled the plug on that deal once this scandal hit – was asked about the rape allegations earlier this month in a sit-down with The Associated Press.
However, Cosby refused to answer the question… and then asked the reporter multiple times to never show the footage of him refusing to answer.
But that footage has now been made available to the public. Here it is:
In a statement, Cosby’s attorney denied Dickinson’s rape claim, along with those of the other supposed victims.
The video above is damaging, however. It’s nearly impossible to watch it and see Bill Cosby in a very different light than ever before.
