While Cosby has not been charged with a crime as a result of any of the allegations, he has been hit with multiple lawsuits, including by former model Janice Dickinson, who also claims that she was defamed after accusing Cosby.

Tarshis, meanwhile, says she was attacked twice by Cosby when he drugged her in 1969 when she was an aspiring comedy writer aged 19.
She said Cosby agreed to mentor her and eventually moved her to NY.
“Now you don’t want to upset me and the plans for your future, do you?” Leslie, of MI, claims Cosby assaulted her while she met with him in his Las Vegas suite in 1992.
A representative for Cosby declined to comment on the four women joining the defamation suit.
Dickinson is suing Cosby for defamation over denials over her claims that she was drugged raped by the comedian in in 1982. However, Cosby’s attorneys appealed the decision and the court is now seeking legal briefs by the end of the month before making a final ruling.
On Thursday, a former supermodel’s attorney said that a California appeals court has delayed the scheduled deposition of Bill Cosby in the defamation lawsuit brought by the former supermodel saying that the comedian has called her a liar when she came out with allegations of rape in public.
The seven women in Cammarata’s suit say Cosby defamed them when his representatives – including the comedian’s longtime attorney, Martin Singer, who he recently fired – issued public statements in 2014 denouncing their stories as absurd and untrue. “This is their opportunity to have their day in court and to attempt to restore their good name and reputation”, Cammarata said. “The stories are getting more ridiculous”.
