Previous actress Lili Bernard and writer Sammie Mayes of the “Cosby Show” came forward today with sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby at a press conference in New York City. Find out more after the jump!

Represented by Gloria Allred, the attorney of many other alleged Cosy victims stood by the two woman as they spoke publicly and told their stories.

According to Allred, Cosby raped Bernard in New Jersey where a statute of limitations on rape does not exist.

Mayes stated after meeting Cosby at a TV conference in the 80’s she accepted an interview with him to hopefully jump start her budding writing career. Soon after Mayes and Cosby headed to his hotel room for a sit down. She continues her statement with Bill mixing her a drink and waking up covered in her own drool. Her shirt was unbuttoned and her bra was out of place.

“I realized I had just survived an encounter with a scheming madman who hid his demons behind an alluring persona.”

Bernard has claimed Cosby assaulted her when she guest-starred on the show in the early 90’s.
“After he had won my complete trust and adoration he drugged me and raped me.”
Lili than spoke about Cosby’s threats to her saying:
“As far as I’m concerned, Bernard, you’re dead.”

In the following months she was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts and says she still suffers from nightmares and panic attacks over the traumatic event.

“Women need to break out of their fear and report, so that predators can be held accountable.”

Apparently protestors have put together a march that will be held outside of Cosby’s “Far From Finished” comedy tour in Atlanta after his final performance…
