AceShowbiz - Bill Cosby detailed his pursuit of sex in newly released court documents from a 2005 deposition in Andrea Constand's suit obtained by New York Times. Bill admitted to promising women his mentorship and career advice before pushing them for sex acts. He also tried to use his financial power to prevent his wife Camille from knowing about his affairs.
During the four days of intense questioning in Philadelphia hotel, Bill insisted that he was good at telling when a woman gave her consent. "I think I'm a pretty decent reader of people and their emotions in these romantic sexual things, whatever you want to call them," he said. Andrea's lawyer Dolores M. Troiani told the comedian, "I think you're making light of a very serious situation," to which he replied, "That may very well be."
When asked how he wooed Andrea, Bill said, "Inviting her to my house, talking to her about personal situations dealing with her life, growth, education." He recalled inviting her to an intimate meal at his Pennsylvania home where he admitted, "I take her hair and I pull it back and I have her face like this. And I'm talking to her ...And I talked to her about relaxing, being strong. And I said to her, come in, meaning her body."
The comedian claimed he didn't try to kiss her because he didn't sense she wanted him to. However, at the next dinner, Bill said he and Andrea had a "sexual moment" but they didn't have intercourse. He described her as having "glow" following the dinner. He said he tended to avoid intercourse so that women wouldn't fall in love with him.
Bill said the act of sexual intercourse "is something that I feel the woman will succumb to more of a romance and more of a feeling, not love, but it's deeper than a playful situation." He said he and Andrea were "playing sex, we;re playing, petting, we're playing," but he didn't love her.
Bill and Andrea's relationship continued for several years until one night she said he drugged and molested her. The comedian said he gave Andrea only one and a half tablets of Benadryl to relieve her stress but her lawyer believed it was a much stronger drug.
After Andrea moved to Canada, Bill talked to her mother on the phone and offered her to pay for her daughter schooling because he was afraid she would embarrass him. He also admitted to paying off several women and used his financial power to block magazine articles so his wife wouldn't find out about his philandering.
