Cosby has been accused by dozens of women of drugging and sexually assaulting them, although he has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime.
In this Friday, Nov. 21, 2014, file photo, comedian Bill Cosby performs at the Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts, in Melbourne, Fla. The comedian asked for an injunction requiring Johnson to retract her public statements and remove a chapter on him from her memoir.
An attorney for the seven women facing a defamation suit from Bill Cosby has issued a subpoena for his wife, Camille Cosby.
“As a result of their false, opportunistic and malicious accusations, Mr. Cosby’s reputation has been irretrievably damaged, and his planned reemergence to network television destroyed as they intended”, that lawsuit stated. Suspecting she’d been drugged, Johnson says she let loose with a string of profanities. and a rattled Cosby dragged her down the stairs and shoved her into a taxi, which took her to her apartment. Her initial allegations came out in an op-ed for Vanity Fair. He put his hands around my waist, and I managed to put my hand on his shoulder in order to steady myself.
The model said it was only when she told him off and called him a “motherf-er” that he put her in a cab and didn’t wait for her to fall asleep. Those women contend Cosby defamed them by allowing his representatives to brand them as liars.In the countersuit, Cosby claims the women made malicious, opportunistic, and false and defamatory accusations of sexual misconduct against him that are nothing more than an opportunistic attempt to extract financial gain from him.The lawsuit against Johnson is the latest legal salvo from Cosby, who is a defendant in five civil cases filed in Los Angeles, Massachusetts and Pittsburgh.

The lawsuit is part of a new legal strategy by Cosby to attack some of the women accusing him of sexual abuse in court. Lawyers representing the seven accusers (Tamara Green, Therese Serignese, Linda Traitz, Louisa Moritz, Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarshis and Angela Leslie) have requested Camille, who was her husband’s business manager, to be deposed in Springfield, Massachusetts on January 6.
