Bill Cosby Rape Accusations: Janice Dickinson Recalls Being 'Sexually Assaulted' & Passing Out While Another Victim Gets Questioned [VIDEO]
Supermodel Janice Dickinson is the latest woman to accuse comedian Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting her.
Dickinson, 59, told Entertainment Tonight that the incident occurred in 1982 when he told her to fly from Bali to Lake Tahoe to attend his show with a promise that he'd help her with her career. She said they went back to her hotel room after dinner and he gave her red wine and a pill.
“The next morning I woke up and I wasn’t wearing my pajamas,” she said. “I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man. ...The last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me.”
When asked why she didn’t report the assault to the police at the time, Dickinson said, “I was embarrassed and ashamed.”
“This is one of the biggest regrets and resentments throughout the course of my life,” she added.
Dickinson is just one of several women who have spoken out against the comedian, who played the loving and respectable Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show.
The first case against the now 77-year-old was filed in March 2005 by Andrea Constand, the former director of operations for the Temple University women's basketball team. She filed a lawsuit against Cosby for allegedly drugging and molesting her at his home the year before. Court documents also included 13 witnesses who said they had similar encounters with Cosby.
Following Constand's accusations, Tamara Green came forward telling the Today Show that Cosby offered her pills to help with her flu-like symptoms in the 1970s. She said she was quickly drugged and assaulted.
Two more allegations came out shortly after and recently a woman named Joan Tarshis said she was also assaulted in 1969 when she was 19 years old.
The journalist and publicist spoke about the past incident during an interview with CNN's Don Lemon and said Cosby forced her to have oral sex with him.
When Lemon questioned her as to why she performed oral sex if she didn't want to, Tarshis said she was "stoned at the time" and didn't think of ways to fight back.
Cosby was asked about the rape allegations by NPR over the weekend but the comedian refused to comment and remained quiet.
"Shaking your head no. There are people who love you who might like to hear from you about this. I want to give you the chance," host Scott Simon said before changing the subject.
