Five women are suing Bill Cosby and multiple companies involved with The Cosby Show under a New York law that temporarily suspends the statute of limitations on sexual assault claims.
The suit alleges the companies facilitated sexual assault by “bestowing Bill Cosby with power or the appearance of power at The Cosby Show and beyond.” It also claims they knew or should have known that “Cosby was sexually abusing, assaulting, and/or battering women, including on their premises, but did nothing to stop it” and profited from the public perception that he was “America’s Dad.”
Most of the claims date back to the late 1980s and early 1990s: Lili Bernard says she met Cosby while working on The Cosby Show and was drugged and raped; Eden Tirl says she was assaulted in his dressing room during the taping of an episode; Jewel...

Five women have filed a lawsuit against channel NBC and actor Bill Cosby under a New York state law that temporarily suspends the statute of limitations for older sexual assault claims. The women alleged on Monday that Cosby either raped them or forced them into sexual acts. Four of the allegations date from the late 1980s or 1990, when the actor was at the height of his fame as the star of ‘The Cosby Show’ on NBC. The fifth allegation involves Cindra Ladd, a former Hollywood executive who has accused Cosby of raping her in 1969, reports ‘Variety’.
One of the plaintiffs is Lili Bernard, an actress who guest starred on ‘The Cosby Show’, and who first came forward with her allegation at a press conference with Gloria Allred in 2015. Bernard filed a separate suit against Cosby in New Jersey in 2021.

Detailing eerily familiar alleged modus operandi on the part of the man once known as “America’s Dad,” two former The Cosby Show actresses and three other women on Tuesday sued Bill Cosby and NBCUniversal for sexual assault and battery in New York state court.
“Plaintiffs were all sexually battered, assaulted, and abused by Bill Cosby as a part of the same conduct, occurrence, plan, or scheme that was perpetrated, conducted, organized, and/or performed in New York and other states by Bill Cosby and his associates and enablers,” claims the complaint from Lili Bernard and Eden Tirl, Jewel Gittens, Jennifer Thompson and Cindra Ladd, citing the once-incarcerated comedian repeatedly using his “enormous power in such a nefarious, horrific way.”
Adds the 34-page filing by attorneys Jordan Merson and Jordan Rutsky in the Empire State’s Supreme Court: “Over the course of several decades, Bill Cosby engaged in the serial...

Exclusive: Sidney Kimmel Entertainment will finance and produce Picking Cotton, and the company has set Jessica Sanders to direct a David Birke & Tony Mosher-scripted adaptation of the bestselling memoir by Ronald Cotton, Jennifer Thompson and Erin Torneo.
Sidney Kimmel, Ske president John Penotti and Sanders will produce and Dan Shotz and Brett Winton will be exec producers.
Sanders is the Oscar-nominated, Sundance- and Cannes-winning docu director of After Innocence and Sing!. Picking Cotton is the riveting true story of Jennifer Thompson, a Southern white college student who was violently raped at knifepoint, and Ronald Cotton, the black man she identified as her attacker in a lineup. After spending 11 years in prison, Cotton was exonerated and freed by DNA evidence. He acclimates to life as a free man and his accuser struggles with her guilt, and in an unlikely turn they become close friends and activists for criminal justice reform.
