Bill Cosby has been accused of leaking a story about his daughter's battle with drink and drugs - to kill a story about him 'swinging with Sammy Davis Jr and some showgirls in Las Vegas'.
The comedian is said to have told a tabloid newspaper about his 23-year-old daughter Erinn's problems in 1989 after being asked to comment about the 'swinging' allegation.
It is the latest controversy to hit the 77-year-old and comes after a number of women came forward in the last month with assault allegations against the TV star.

Page Six reporter Richard Johnson says he was given the information from a journalist who worked at the National Enquirer at the time and quotes his source as saying: 'My editor told me that daddy Cosby was the source. He ratted out his flesh and blood.'
Cosby has yet to respond to requests for a comment, Page Six reports.
Ten women have come forward in the last month saying they were attacked by Cosby, with Renita Chaney Hill, Louisa Moritz and Andrea Leslie the latest additions.

1. Four of the women claim they were teenagers at the time.
2. One of the accusers is supermodel Janice Dickinson, who claims that during a dinner in 1982 the actor gave her a pill and when she woke up he was on top of her.
3. Another four ladies; Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarshis, Tamara Green and Therese Serignese have all shared remarkably similar stories in which they claim to have shared a drink or a pill with Cosby and then woken up after or while they say he was sexually assaulting them.
4. Carla Ferrigno, wife of Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno, also claimed that Cosby tried to attack her during a gathering at his house in 1967.
The comedian has never been charged and his lawyers have said the assault claims were discredited.
Cosby's lawyer Martin Singer has branded the stories 'completely illogical' and added that the claims are 'increasingly ridiculous' and 'passed the point of absurdity'.
In a statement released on Friday, he said: 'The new, never-before-heard claims from women who have come forward in the past two weeks with unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40, or even 50 years ago have escalated far past the point of absurdity.
'These brand new claims about alleged decades-old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous, and it is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing, and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted over a span of so many years.'
Cosby himself has refused to respond to 'innuendo'.
Stay tune to meet some of the women and learn when / why and how .
'Innuendo' my ass!
ReplyDeleteThey are straight up accusations. I have some serious questions about his daughters drug habits. She was not allowed in his house for over ten years. He said she was not to be trusted. She denied the story at the time it was leaked. It is all very fishy.

I have looked all over for the story , but can't find it ...I didn't know any of his kids had a drug problem until Dad said you told or asked him if he had heard it .
ReplyDeleteNow I am curious ... where did you see the story ... we need it to tie it altogether .
I am gathering information on the women that accused and the woman that had his love child .
It will turn up somewhere , and I do hope it is soon.
