"I Felt Like a Rag Doll": 2 Former Models Accuse Bill Cosby of Drugging Them

Source: NBC

Two women claimed they were drugged by comedian Bill Cosby when they were young models, they said at a press conference in Los Angeles Thursday morning organized by prominent attorney Gloria Allred.

One of the women, Linda Brown, said she after Cosby gave her a drink in a Toronto hotel room in 1969, she came to to find Cosby sexually assaulting her but felt paralyzed and unable to stop it.

"He flipped me over and sexually assaulted me. I felt like a rag doll," Brown said at the press conference.

Cosby's attorney did not immediately respond to the most recent claims, but he has denied similar allegations.

questioning her story. You should read the article. You would know why.

Also, the question that should be asked is WHY has Cosby gotten away with this for YEARS?!?

"Bill Cosby appears to think that rape is a joke," Lublin said. "Well let me tell you something, Bill: I'm not laughing."


I'm not laughing either. And, folks need to start asking WHY Cosby has gotten away with this for YEARS.
