Janice Dickinson isn’t keeping quiet, a week after she came forward with allegations that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted her in the early 1980s. She says she is hurt after his attorney, Martin Singer, called her claims a lie.
As we previously reported, the supermodel, now 59, told Entertainment Tonight that Cosby assaulted her in Lake Tahoe, where he was performing. With dreams of making an appearance on the Cosby Show, she met him. She claimed that he drugged her then raped her.
She also told ET that she intended on including the incident in her 2002 memoir, but her publisher HarperCollins was pressured by Cosby’s attorneys to cut it.
In his quick response, Singer tried to discredit Dickinson, claiming that they never heard of her story in 2002. He called her claim “defamatory.”
In a new interview with the Daily Mail, Dickinson said she was devastated.
“I am having vivid dreams, my memory is coming back of that time,” she told the Daily Mail. “I’m really not doing well – they are calling me a liar and I just want to be able to prove to the world that this happened.”
Dickinson also told the Mail that she has diary entries from 1982 and Polaroid pictures that prove that she knew Cosby at the time. “He committed sexual assault and I can back that up,” she said. “My friend Liz said the other day: “I remember you telling me about what this guy did to you.’”
Cosby still has not issued a formal statement himself on the mounting allegations against him. He has had several performances cancelled, an NBC sitcom dropped and even the University of Massachusetts Amherst has cut ties with him.
