Damn you Bill Cosby!!! America’s beloved father figure’s career just went from 100 to 0, real quick. After fellow comedian Hannibal Buress heard of Cosby’s book deal in the making and progress of a television show, he went on a rant about past allegations of Cosby being a rapist. From there, the floodgates flew open. Barbara Bowman decided that after almost 30 years, she’d tell her story of torture. “He turned out all the lights. It was completely pitch black,” she said. “He laid me down on the couch and started caressing and touching me all over.”
Bowman isn’t the only one to make claims of rape by Cosby. The total is about 13, and one accuser happens to be supermodel Janice Dickinson.

Update:
TV Land Has also dropped repeats of his iconic “Cosby Show”, so these old allegations are now fully putting the kibosh on The Cos’s current career and the $ he gets from the biggest part of it. Speaking of “The Cosby Show”, Ex-CoStar Raven Symone chimed on on the alleged allegations, although her name was up in the mix, which no one wanted to believe anyway since she was 3 when she worked with him. She commented about it all today, specifically her name in the mix, “This is a truly disgusting rumor that I want no part of!” See her response in the gallery
ORIGINAL Post:
Janice states, during an interview with ET that the incident happened in Lake Tahoe in 1982, and that the actor had given her a pill with a glass of wine, causing her to blackout. “I remember waking up with my pajamas off and there was semen in between my legs,” she says.

One of Bill Cosby’s other allegers, Joan Tarshis sat down with CNN’s Don Lemon and went into great depth about her rape. Tarshis adds that she advised, Bill Cosby aka “Mr. Jello Man” as she called him, not to rape her because she had an infection – this used as ploy to stop him so he wouldn’t get infected. Cosby allegedly continued anyhow.
Amidst all of these allegations, Bill Cosby’s media relations team made an attempt at pulling back some of the negativity by starting a meme war. They posted a meme generator to his website, hoping that popular slogans from the comedian would be the words used to start the campaign. Uh, no! Of course black Twitter went in. Thanks to this fail and the allegations, Cosby’s expected NBC family sitcom is no more.
“Bill plays the patriarch of the family, dispensing his classic wisdom on relationships and parenthood, with three daughters, husbands, and grandchildren.”
TMZ reports that Cosby’s concerts are still a go. He has a show in Melbourne, FL this Friday to a sold out audience, so we’ll see how that works out.
The only statement Cosby has released has come from his attorney, John P. Schmitt.
Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives.”
There was a follow-up:
Joint statement from Dolores Troiani, counsel to Andrea Constand, and John P. Schmitt, counsel to Bill Cosby.
The statement released by Mr. Cosby’s attorney over the weekend was not intended to refer in any way to Andrea Constand. As previously reported, differences between Mr. Bill Cosby and Ms. Constand were resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Mr. Bill Cosby and Ms. Constand years ago. Neither Mr. Cosby nor Ms. Constand intends to comment further on the matter.
