His lawyer said the claims have been part of an effort to extract financial gains and had discredited the actor’s reputation.
Striking back against the allegations of the seven women named in the counterclaims, Cosby contends that his reputation has been damaged, as well as his “honorable legacy”, by the accusations of sexual abuse they have made against him.
