Many of Bill Cosby’s sexual assault accusers now have a face.

Bill Cosby Had A REALLY Bad Week

Thirty-five of the women who have accused the iconic actor of rape have shared their story in the latest issue of New York Magazine. But they’ve even gone a step further and showed their faces in a black-and-white snapshot on the cover. The women appear sitting down in chairs; with one being empty, symbolizing a woman who were not yet brave enough to show their face.

In the essay, they detail what they remember the day they were allegedly assaulted by Cosby.

Interestingly enough, the site is currently down just hours later. So the article is inaccessible.

New York Magazine updated fans via Twitter.

But that isn’t stopping the publication from allowing the women to tell their stories. A handful are still on Instagram; including that of now 70-year-old Joyce Emmons. She said she and Cosby were at a club and she asked him for Tylenol to ease a headache. “And he said to me, ‘I have something stronger.’ And I said, ‘You know I don’t do drugs.’ He said, ‘You’re one of my best friends. Would I hurt you?’ And I believed him. All I remember is taking pill; I don’t remember going to bed. But I do remember waking up in a fog and opening my eyes, and I had no clothes on, and there was Bill’s friend totally naked in bed with me.” She said the friend admitted to giving her a quaalade pill after Cosby gave him permission. Hear what else she had to say below.

Joyce Emmons, 70, was allegedly assaulted by Bill Cosby circa 1979. Emmons managed a comedy club and became friends with Cosby. They had known each other for about two-and-a-half years when Emmons and her friend went out to a club with Cosby and one of his friends. “I had a terrible headache, and I said, ‘Bill, do you have some Tylenol? I have a mother of a headache.’ And he said to me, ‘I have something stronger.’ And I said, ‘You know I don’t do drugs.’ He said, ‘You’re one of my best friends. Would I hurt you?’ And I believed him. All I remember is taking the pill; I don’t remember going to bed. But I do remember waking up in a fog and opening my eyes, and I had no clothes on, and there was Bill’s friend totally naked in bed with me. I said, ‘What the F did you give me?’ He said, ‘Oh, you had a bad headache, you were in so much pain. I gave you a quaalude.’ I was hurt with Bill more than angry at his friend. Bill let him take advantage of me. That kills me. That’s why I know the stories of what he did to the other women are true, because if he didn’t have the respect for me, who was really a close friend, then he could do that to anybody he didn’t know very well.” Tap the photo to hear Joyce Emmons tell her story, and watch her video interview at nymag.com/cosby-women. A video posted by New York Magazine (@nymag) on Jul 27, 2015 at 6:52am PDT


Actress Louisa Mortiz, who is now 68 told of a similar story that she said happened between her and Cosby back in 1971. Hers happened just moments before she made an appearance on the ‘Tonight Show.’

She said Cosby showed up to her dressing room.

“He never knocked. I knew it was Mr. Cosby. I’d seen his picture. He walked in nd closed the door behind him. It went on for maybe four minutes, five minutes. But it was the longest five minutes that I had ever experienced. And when they called my name, he ran out.”

Listen to her account below.

 Louisa Moritz, 68, an actress, was allegedly assaulted by Bill Cosby in 1971. Moritz was getting ready to appear on the 'Tonight Show' when someone opened the door of her dressing room. “He never knocked. I knew it was Mr. Cosby. I'd seen his picture. He walked in and closed the door behind him. It went on for maybe four minutes, five minutes. But it was the longest five minutes that I ever experienced. And when they called my name, he ran out. When he walked down the stage, he introduced himself as Louisa Moritz. And then a huge laugh. When they called me to go onstage, I was a zombie. He didn't look at me while we were on the show. I didn't look at him. I just felt him. I was afraid to tell anybody. I knew who Mr. Cosby was and that prevented me from telling anybody. I felt ashamed. I was embarrassed to be me."

Victoria Valentino, who is a former Playboy bunny, said her alleged assault from Cosby came in 1969. Valentino, now 72, said Cosby was part owner of a restaurant and treated her and a friend to dinner. “He was chatting her up and trying to charm her. And he reached across and put a pill next to my wine glass and said, ‘Here, this will make you feel better, and he gave her one. I wasn’t really thinking. I thought, Great, me feel better? You bet. So I took the pill and washed it own with some red wine.” She said he gave her another one before handing one to her friend as well. When she said she was ready to leave, he took her up an elevator instead. “I sat down, and lay my had back, just fighting nausea. I looked around and he was sitting next to my roommate on the loveseat with this very predatory look on his face. She was completely unconscious. I could hear the words in my head, but I couldn’t form words with my mouth, because I was so drugged out.” Take a listen below.

Victoria Valentino, 72, a former Playboy bunny, was allegedly assaulted by Bill Cosby in 1969. Valentino was dining with her roommate at their usual joint, Café Figaro, where Cosby happened to be part owner. He knew that Valentino’s 6-year-old son had recently died, and he told Valentino’s friend that he thought she could use some cheering up. "He took my roommate and me out to dinner. It was this new hip steak restaurant on the strip near the Whiskey a Go Go called Sneaky Pete’s. He was chatting her up and trying to charm her. And he reached across and put a pill next to my wine glass and said, ‘Here, this will make you feel better,’ and he gave her one. I wasn’t really thinking. I thought, Great, me feel better? You bet. So I took the pill and washed it down with some red wine. And then he reached across and put another pill in my mouth and gave her one. Just after I took the second pill, my face was, like, face-in-plate syndrome, and I just said, ‘I wanna go home.’ He said he would drive us home. We went up this elevator. I sat down, and lay my head back, just fighting nausea. I looked around and he was sitting next to my roommate on the loveseat with this very predatory look on his face. She was completely unconscious. I could hear the words in my head, but I couldn’t form words with my mouth, because I was so drugged out."
