Bill Cosby has filed a lawsuit against Beverly Johnson, one of the dozens of accusers who claim he was sexually inappropriate.
Cosby filed the defamation lawsuit on Monday in response to her allegations that he drugged her at his brownstone in New York City years ago.
In his lawsuit, the disgraced actor and comedian wrote he "never drugged defendant and her story is a lie,” USA Today reports.
Johnson went into detail in a Vanity Fair piece last year, recalling he invited her over to his home to read lines ahead of an audition for The Cosby Show but the night turned sinister.
Through his lawyer, Monique Pressley, Cosby also accuses Johnson of making up the allegations in order to "resuscitate her own career and benefit herself financially from the wave of media attention surrounding her false allegations."
In addition to money, Cosby asks she publicly take back her allegations, pull any copies of her memoir, The Face That Changed It All: A Memoir, that haven’t been sold from shelves and take his name out of copies that haven’t been printed yet.
