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.
