Bill Cosby has been accused of sexually assaulting a former Playboy model in a new lawsuit. Victoria Valentino filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Thursday claiming that The Cosby Show star drugged and sexually assaulted her and another woman at his home in 1969. According to The Associated Press, the documents alleged that Cosby "engaged in forced sexual intercourse" with Valentino while she was incapacitated by the drug.
In the documents, Valentino recalled meeting Cosby at a Los Angeles café when she was upset over the death of her son, before the comedian offered to pay for a spa treatment for herself and a friend. After the treatment, Cosby reportedly sent a chauffeured car for dinner at a steakhouse, where he allegedly offered them an unspecified drug. "Here! Take this!" the model recounted Cosby saying at the time.
"It will make you feel better. It will make us ALL feel better. "Cosby then allegedly drove Valentino and her friend to his house, where Valentino passed out on the couch.
The model allegedly woke up to find Cosby sexually assaulting her friend, before he assaulted her. Cosby's spokesperson Andrew Wyatt claimed in a statement that Valentino's lawsuit lacked "any proof or facts" and that the new California law suspending the statute of limitations on civil sex abuse claims violated the constitutional rights of "those that are accused of a crime". Six other accusers filed a joint lawsuit against Cosby last year in New York, under a similar provision known as a "lookback" law, which allowed adults to file sex abuse cases for allegations that had fallen outside the statute of limitations.

This is the second woman to come forward publicly with sexual assault allegations against the Grammy-nominated country singer. The new lawsuit, filed Friday in Tennessee federal court, comes less than one month after Allen was accused of rape and repeated sexual abuse by a woman who worked on his former management team. Those accusations, first reported by Variety, resulted in Allen being dropped by his publicist and suspended by his label, agency and management. In the new lawsuit, obtained by Variety, the woman — who is identified as “Jane Doe 2” – alleges that she was randomly approached by Allen on a plane last year, and after that first meeting, the country singer pursued her and engaged in daily communication over the phone.

Tatiana Siegel In October 2017, Bryan Singer appeared energetic and in control as he welcomed Olympic diver Greg Louganis and Queen guitarist Brian May on the London set of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” But behind the scenes, chaos reigned. The onetime Hollywood wunderkind’s career was about to unravel, as Fox executives were growing weary of Singer’s pro- longed absences and erratic behavior. On Dec. 4, Fox pulled the trigger and fired Singer, replacing him with Dexter Fletcher. As Louganis and May smiled for photos with the acclaimed director, it marked one of Singer’s last known days on a film set. Getting fired from “Bohemian Rhapsody” was a public humiliation for a filmmaker who had racked up hit after hit. But a series of personal scandals would dwarf that professional setback. Over the ensuing five and a half years, Singer tried to reenter the fray with an $80 million remake of ’80s action film “Red Sonja” for Millennium Films. Then a 2019 Atlantic exposé that detailed allegations that Singer sexually assaulted four men when they were underage derailed those plans. (Singer categorically denied ever having sex with, or a preference for, underage men.) Millennium CEO Avi Lerner initially stood by Singer, dubbing the report “agenda-driven fake news,” but dropped him when he couldn’t find a domestic distributor. Though the once in-demand helmer made studios billions thanks to four “X-Men” movies and “Superman Returns,” he had become persona non grata in the post-#MeToo landscape.
