Margie Shapiro and Sunni Welles are two women who are now accusing the legendary 77 year old television star Bill Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting them many years ago. Shapiro claims Cosby sexually assaulted her in 1975. She says the two met in Santa Monica, California where she worked at a doughnut shop. Shapiro, who was 19 years old at the time, said the comedian invited her to his film set where they spent the afternoon. She says that they were going to go to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion but instead of going there, she says they entered a “rec place” or “game house,” which had a pool table and pinball machines.
Shapiro said that Cosby made a bet with her and whoever lost the game of pinball had to take a pill. After losing the game, Shapiro claims she was not drinking alcohol that evening and when she and Cosby woke up they were both naked. Shapiro said she was in and out of consciousness and every time she was awake, Cosby was allegedly inappropriately touching her.
Welles said she first met Cosby through her mother, who was a story editor at Paramount, and Cosby was a family friend. In the 1960s, when Welles was 17, her mother took her to the set of Cosby’s “I Spy” and she said Cosby invited her to go see jazz. Welles said “My mom was sure I’d be in safe hands with Bill.” Welles ordered a Coke and then “things began to come blurry,” after drinking it. She said she later woke up in an apartment without Cosby and it felt like she had sex. Welles said, “I did not want to believe that a family friend would do that to me.” Cosby has yet to address the accusations against him.
