AceShowbiz - Two more women have gone public with their allegations against Bill Cosby. Sunni Welles and Margie Shapiro appeared alongside famed feminist attorney Gloria Allred on Friday, March 27 at her office to share their story to reporters.
Sunni claimed she first met Bill when she was a little girl as her mother was a theatrical agent and considered the comedian as a friend. She said, "I once liked Cosby very much, but that has changed now." When she was 17 years old in the midst 1960s, her mother worked as a story editor at Paramount and one day took her to the set of Bill's show "I Spy".
Sunni said Bill asked her for her number and later invited her to see jazz. She was "thrilled" by the invitation because she was auditioning for background singer jobs at that time. "My mom was sure I'd be in safe hands with Bill," she added.
At the jazz club, Sunni ordered a Coke. After she had a sip she claimed "things began to become blurry." The next thing she remembered was waking up naked at an empty apartment where Bill couldn't be found. She felt she had engaged in sexual intercourse after going home and taking a shower.
"I did not want to believe that a family friend would do that to me," Sunni told reporters, before calling him a "sexual predator." She added, "If you are a changed man, Bill, you should admit what you have done ... you should be ashamed and tell the truth."
Margie, meanwhile, claimed she first met Bill in 1975 when she worked at a donut store in Santa Monica. According to Margie, the comedian invited her to his film set after ordering dozens of donuts. She accepted the invitation and spent the afternoon with him. Bill later invited Margie for a dinner but the dinner was canceled and they went to Playboy Mansion instead.
Once there, 19-year-old Margie and Bill entered a "rec place" or "game house" and started to play pinball. She said she was not drinking at that time, but Bill told her whoever lost the the game would have to take a pill. She later lost and agreed to take the pill. She remembered waking up naked with Bill and he was inside of her.
She passed out again and when she regained consciousness, Bill was touching her sexually. In the end, Bill acted as if nothing had happened, telling her she was not dressed well enough to meet Hugh Hefner and sending her home with a driver. Margie said she was "feeling sick" as she kept seeing Bill's image in her head.
