AceShowbiz - Three more women came forward with attorney Gloria Allred on Wednesday, August 12 with their sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby. Colleen Hughes, Linda Ridgeway Whitedeer and Eden Tirl claimed they were raped by the comedian in their 20s.
Colleen, a former flight attendant, met Bill back in 1970s when she was working on an American Airlines flight to Los Angeles. She said the comedian offered to take her to lunch at a hotel. But when they arrived at the hotel, they went to his room instead.
Bill allegedly grossed Colleen out by sipping champagne from one of her Gucci heels. "I said, 'Ewww, don't do that, that's gross, I just walked 3,000 miles in those shoes,' " she recalled. "He raised the shoe toward me offering the drink in my shoe to me and said, 'A princess should always drink champagne out of a glass slipper.' " She passed on the shoe but drank a glass of champagne from him.
Colleen said the next thing she remembered was waking up hours later and finding semen on her back. "I was shocked. I didn't know how I had lost so much time. My clothes were thrown all over the room and I felt semen on the small of my back and all over me."
A year later she ran into Bill on another flight and he began flirting with her again. "It was obvious to me that he did not remember me and used the same line about how I was a 'fine Irish lass,' " Colleen said. "I told him, 'You already had me once and I don't want to ever be drugged by you again.' "
Linda alleged she was sexually assaulted by Bill during an audition in 1971. "When Cosby was done, there was a horrible mess of semen all over my face. I bordered on vomiting," she recalled. "He was mumbling that I had been blessed with his seamen as if it was holy water."
"Even to this day," she added, "I am still ashamed. It is my turn to take the empty chair that I saw on the cover because I was assaulted in the chair in a job interview and I was not drugged."
Eden, who played a cop in one episode of "The Cosby Show", said she met Bill after a taping in 1989. The comedian allegedly raped her after they chatted in his dressing room about her interest in acting. "I had one last deterrent up my sleeve. I said 'Bill, you are Jell-o Pudding Pops and Fat Albert to me,' " she recalled.
Bill allegedly turned her around, wrapped her in his arms and said, "See, that's all we were going to do, make love." Eden added, "I never came forward in 1989. I knew that I had been sexually harassed, I knew I should say something."
