AceShowbiz - Bill Cosby has released a statement after another woman came forward with her story, claiming that the comedian sexually assaulted her in the past. On Wednesday, February 25, his new public-relations consultant Purpose PR Firm issued the statement which sees the embattled comedian thanking fans for their support and hinting that his Friday gig in Lafayette, Louisiana will still take place.
"Dear Fans: For 53 years you have given me your love, support, respect and trust. Thank you! I can't wait to see your smiling faces and warm your hearts with a wonderful gift - LAUGHTER. I'm ready! I thank you, the theatre staff [at Heymann Performing Arts Centre], the event organizers and the Lafayette Community for your continued support and coming to experience family, fun entertainment," read the statement. "Hey, Hey, Hey - I'm far from finished. Sincerely, Bill Cosby."
More than 30 women have accused the 77-year-old star of sexual assault, but he denied it. Some of his gigs were postponed or canceled in the wake of the accusations.
Most recently, a former model named Heidi Thomas told CNN that Cosby drugged and assaulted her in 1984. According to Thomas, she only remembered waking up naked next to the comedian and he was "forcing himself in my mouth."
