Supermodel Janice Dickinson is joining the growing list of Bill Cosby accusers who have come forward. Dickinson, now 59, claims that she was sexually assaulted by the comedian in 1982 after she was set to meet with him for a potential The Cosby Show role.

Dickinson spoke with Entertainment Tonight about the incident, which she says took place in Lake Tahoe.

She first met Cosby when they discussed a Cosby Show role for her. Their next conversation came while she was in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse. After that, she took a trip to Bali and suddenly, Cosby called her. He had her fly to Lake Tahoe, where he was performing, to meet her and they had a conversation. After dinner, she had stomach pains and was menstruating, so she asked for pills. Cosby provided the pills and a glass of red wine.

“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,” Dickinson said. “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.”

Dickinson wrote a memoir in 2002, so why wasn’t this incident included? She claims she had the story in her first draft, but Cosby and his lawyers had HarperCollins pull the story.

Cosby’s attorney, Marty Singer, quickly responded to the allegation, sending a letter to TheWrap and calling the claims “defamatory.” He noted that Singer spoke in 2002 about Cosby ignoring her advances after dinner.

Singer also denied Dickinson’s story about HarperCollins and Cosby’s lawyers pressuring her to cut the story from her book.

In recent days, two other women have claimed that Cosby drugged and raped them. A third woman had filed a lawsuit against Cosby back in 2006, but that case was settled out of court.

NBC still hasn’t made a decision on its Cosby sitcom in development, but Netflix has postponed its comedy special.
