Pressley’s statement says Johnson is benefiting financially from sharing her story, which she told on several media shows and included in her recent memoir. The Grammy and Emmy Award victor is seeking compensatory and punitive damages and a court order that would stop Johnson from making future statements about the actor.
Cosby’s attorneys responded to the request, saying Camille has no “first-hand knowledge” of what her husband was doing all of those years ago and their chats are privileged conversations per Massachusetts’ “spousal disqualification rule”.
This lawsuit against Johnson comes a week after Cosby sued seven of his other accusers, also for defamation.
He also spoke about the issue during an interview with Marc Maron for the WTF podcast, explaining his reason for continuing to tweet about Cosby.
Johnson released the following statement Monday night: “I am aware of the statements from Bill Cosby”. Cosby insists that he never drugged Johnson, and her claims are completely false. Cosby, who owns a home near Springfield, recently filed a counterclaim for defamation against seven other women jointly suing him in MA. Johnson’s allegations did not involve sexual assault, but the actress claims Cosby spiked her drink with an unknown drug during a meeting at his Manhattan residence in the 1980s.

Cosby’s attorneys on Friday asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit by Renita Hill, who lives near Pittsburgh and has accused the comedian of drugging and having sex with her several times after they met on a children’s educational TV show in 1983. Cosby said the women’s accusations hurt his reputation so much that plans for a new family comedy on NBC were derailed. Numerous women accusing Cosby of rape say that the last thing they remember is drinking a beverage offered by Bill Cosby, and then waking up in various states of undress.
