Half of Bill Cosby’s accusers have come together to speak out about against the sitcom star and share their harrowing stories of alleged abuse in a TV special.
Bill Cosby was just sued by the woman who has triggered an active criminal investigation against the comedian. According to her account she woke up almost eight hours later to find that she had been left alone in the room.
The comedian then allegedly whispered in her ear that they were going to make love and hugged her. Whitedeer had a similar encounter, saying Cosby forced her to perform oral sex on him in the director’s office of a movie set.

Meanwhile, a new civil lawsuit against Cosby – three others by accusers are pending – is scheduled to be filed in federal court Tuesday in Los Angeles by Chloe Goins, a Cosby accuser represented by Florida lawyer Spencer Kuvin. Her clothes were strewn about the room and she noted that there was semen “all over me”.

According to a few of the accusers to be interviewed by NBC, the point of the special is to keep the pressure on Cosby, 78, and to aid in their own healing. Cosby has never been charged with a crime and continues to maintain that he did not drug or sexually assault anyone.
