Famed feminist lawyer Gloria Allred addressed Bill Cosby scandal along with his three accusers at a press conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday, December 3. The three women who joined Gloria were Beth Ferrier, who was a Jane Doe in Andrea Constand's lawsuit against Bill in 2005, and two new accusers, Helen Hayes and Chelan.

Gloria asked Cosby to either waive the statutes of limitation on all allegations brought by more than 20 women against him so that the women could present their evidence and he could present his defense, or prepare a $100 million account for his accusers and let a panel of retired judges determine the truth about the allegations.

During the press conference, Beth, who was an aspiring model and actress in the 1980s, said she met Bill through her talent agent. They allegedly had an extramarital affair for several months. One night at Bill's performance in Denver, Beth claimed she lost consciousness after drinking coffee given by the comedian.

"The next thing I knew, hours passed and I woke up in the back of my car alone. My clothes were a mess; my bra was undone. My car was in the alleyway behind the venue. I felt disoriented. I had no idea what happened to me," she shared.

Helen claimed she met Bill at Clint Eastwood's Celebrity Tennis Tournament in Pebble Beach, California in 1973. She said Bill followed her and two friends "all day," before adding, "We felt we were safe. But then when he found us in the last restaurant he approached me from behind and reached over my shoulder and grabbed my right breast... His behavior was like that of a predator."

Chelan, meanwhile, said she met Bill when she was 17 and an aspiring model who worked at the Las Vegas Hilton. Bill allegedly gave her a blue pill to "help with a cold." Chelan recalled, "I laid down. He laid down next to me on the bed and began pinching my left nipple and humping my leg while he was grunting."

She said she later blacked out and "13 to 16 hours later I woke up by hearing Mr. Cosby clapping his hands and saying, 'Daddy says wake up.' He gave me $1,500."

Bill recently took to Twitter to thank Whoopi Goldberg and Jill Scott for their support amid his sexual abuse scandal. He tweeted, "Thank you @WhoopiGoldberg," and then followed it up, "Thank you @MissJillScott, from the Cosby Family."

Whoopi seemed to defend Bill on the November 17 episode of "The View". She said at that time, "I hope that there is justice for this lady. I hope somebody gets to the bottom of this, but I'm going to reserve my judgment because I have a lot of questions, as I said. It's crazy, but I have a lot of questions, because I know we all have friends who have gone through this."

Jill, meanwhile, told her followers in Twitter earlier this week that she would not "condemn" the comedian "without proof." She wrote, "I'm not dismissing. I'm just not quick to jump at the bit. Sides with Mr. Cosby? No. I side with substantiated proof when media/society is attempting to destroy a magnificent Legacy."

She then followed it up, "Rape is a despicable, cowardly crime. If you've been raped - plz do NOT shower, go to police IMMEDIATELY, have a rap kit done. GET EVIDENCE."
