Bill Cosby Gets A Sexual Assault Lawsuit From Another Woman After Prison Release

Bill Cosby was hit with another lawsuit on Friday from a lady who claimed the 85-year-old comedian and actor sexually assaulted and drugged her in 1986. She’s also suing NBCUniversal and other companies.

According to the Grio, Stacey Pinkerton said she was a 21-year-old flight attendant and model when she met Cosby in New York. He allegedly abused his celebrity status by promising to help her advance in her career, and many women who accused him of sexual assault said the same thing.

Pinkerton said after he drugged her at an Illinois restaurant, he took her back to a hotel room in Chicago where The Cosby Show

star “engaged in forced sexual intercourse” while the drugs paralyzed her.

Cosby allegedly sexually assaulted her again at a Chicago theater he invited her to months after the first time. That’s where Pinkerton said Cosby inappropriately touched and forcibly kissed her.

“Cosby engaged in the same or similar pattern of conduct with his victims,” she said in the lawsuit. “Including expressing interest in advancing their careers, giving them roles on The Cosby Show, using The Cosby Show and its filming locations as a means to access, isolate, sexually harass, and sexually assault women, using drugs to incapacitate his victims, and forcibly engaging in sexual acts with them without their consent.”

Pinkerton landed a role on The Cosby Show in one episode, but her appearance was cut in the final edit. She’s suing NBCUniversal, Kaufman Astoria Studios and Carsey-Werner Television—companies behind The Cosby Show

—because they did nothing to protect her and the women from him.

Five other women filed a similar lawsuit in early December under New York’s one-year window for adults to file sexual assault allegations.

A spokesperson for Cosby, Andrew Wyatt, told the Associated Press that the actor’s legal team would continue defending him in court and denying the allegations.

“As we have always stated, and now America can see, this isn’t about justice for victims of alleged sexual assault, it’s ALL ABOUT MONEY,” Wyatt said. “We believe that the courts, as well as the court of public opinion, will follow the rules of law and relieve Mr. Cosby of these alleged accusations.

The complaints come a year after Cosby was released from prison following the court overturning his 2018 sexual assault conviction in Pennsylvania. One woman who said Cosby sexually assaulted her when she was a teen in 1975 at the Playboy Mansion received $500,000 earlier this year due to a Los Angeles jury.

Cosby was imprisoned for close to three years before the overturning by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court due to prosecutors violating Cosby’s rights by retracting their promise not to charge him.

Cosby’s insurers paid seven other accusers who filed a defamation lawsuit a settlement after the Pennsylvania conviction. The lawsuit alleged Cosby denying the sexual assault allegations belittled them.
