Yesterday, attorney Gloria Allred hosted a press conference at which three new Bill Cosby accusers came forward to share the shocking tales of abuse they suffered at the hands of the formerly beloved TV icon.
By now, Cosby’s M.O. is well established:
He slipped drugs in the drinks of women who were excited to meet an A-list celebrity, raped them, then either fled the scene before they regained consciousness, or stuck around to inform them that no one would believe them if they went to the police.
Even though we’ve heard these horrific tales literally dozens of times at this point, the accusations made by the three women who came forward yesterday may be the most appalling yet.
Linda Ridgeway Whitedeer, Colleen Hughes and Eden Tirl are the latest to add their names to the ever-growing list of Cosby’s alleged victims.
Hopefully, their stories will be enough to convince ardent Cosby supporters like Whoopi Goldberg that the man is most likely a monster.
Hughes says she met Cosby when she was working as a flight attendant in the 1970s.
He invited her to lunch, and the two of them went to her hotel so that she could shower first. She says that when she emerged from the bathroom, Cosby offered her a glass of champagne. She awoke several hours later:
“My clothes were thrown all over the room and I felt semen on the small of my back and all over me,” Hughes says. “Bill obviously did not use a condom and there was no lunch and he was nowhere to be seen.”
Whitedeer tells a similarly disgusting tale about her encounter with Cosby in his dressing room on a movie set:
“As I looked up his penis was out of his pants and he shoved it in my mouth,” Whitedeer says. “His attack was fast with surgical precision and surprise on his side.
“When Cosby was done, there was a horrible mess of semen all over my face, my clothes and in my hair. He took out a Kleenex to try to wipe off my face. I was bordering between vomiting and passing out. He was mumbling that I had been blessed with his semen as if it was holy water.”
Tirl – an actress – says she was assaulted on the set of The Cosby Show, on which she had been cast as a police officer.
“Bill, you are Jello pudding pops and Fat Albert to me … you are my childhood,” Tirl recalls saying. “He barked back instantly, ‘Don’t say that, they all say that!’”
Several media outlets have reached out to Cosby and his attorney, both of whom have declined to comment on the latest accusations.
