AceShowbiz - Bill Cosby was accused by two former models of sexual assault. Linda Brown and Lise-Lotte Lubli held a press conference with famed feminist lawyer Gloria Allred on Thursday, February 12, saying they blacked out after sipping drinks given by the comedian.
Linda said she met Bill after her agency set her up on a dinner date with him at a restaurant in Toronto in 1969. Bill allegedly offered to drive her home in his limo. They later stopped at his hotel room because the comedian wanted to give her a present. He then gave her a softdrink and left to make a phone call.
"I took a sip and blacked out. When I awakened, I was naked in the bed beside him," Linda said. "I couldn't move or speak. I felt paralyzed. He flipped me over and sexually assaulted me. I felt like a rad doll and like a real-life blow-up doll for him. I felt dirty, ashamed and embarrassed."
"This horrible experience has had a long, lasting impact on me. As result, I find it very hard to trust men. I felt that Mr. Cosby deceived me into thinking that he was a nice and trustworthy person," Linda said. "I want people to know who Mr. Cosby really is: He has a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality and if you trust him then he has fooled you as well."
Lise-Lotte, who previously appeared on Dr. Phil's show with the name Lisa, said her alleged assault happened at Bill's Elvis Suite at the Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas in 1989. She said she blacked out after drinking two beverages and her hair was petted by Bill.
"Bill Cosby seems to think that rape is a joke," Lise-Lotte said, "Well, let me tell you something, Bill. I'm not laughing. I'm furious, and I've decided to fight for my rights and the rights of every man, woman and child who has been victimized by a sexual crime."
According to Gloria, the statute of limitations had run out for Lisa-Lotte but not for Linda. "There's no statute of limitations of criminal prosecution in Canada, should the authorities find that there's sufficient evidence to prosecute," she explained.
Gloria vowed to continue speaking out against Bill and supporting supporters at his show. She said, "Mr. Cosby thinks that this will soon be over and that no more women will come forward. He is very wrong." She added, "He should know that we are also far from finished with him," referring to a comment Bill recently made to his audience at his show.
"I still have many women who have not yet come forward, but who are willing to do so in the future," Gloria said. "Justice is long overdue for these brave women, and they will be silent no more."
On the same day, Bill postponed a stand-up show in Bakersfield, California. The Fox Theater posted on its website that the show was postponed and the venue still didn't have a new date for the performance. The venue didn't explain the reason but they would give refunds for ticketholders.
