Colleen Hughes, Eden Tiri and Linda Ridgeway Whitedeer gave detailed stories on Bill Cosby's alleged sexual abuse and harassment to them during his prime years in the show business. Hughes, Tirl and Ridgeway were all in their early 20s when they met Cosby, joining the 35 women who accused the 78-year-old actor, as reported in a previous HNGN article.
Tiri was 22 years old when she met Cosby in 1989. She was given a role in the fifth season of the "Cosby Show" as a cop. On the fourth day on the set, someone told her to wait for Cosby in her dressing room. She said how Cosby wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "See that's all we were going to do, make love. This is making love. He turned me around, hugged me and I left without saying a word," said Tiri, a former actress, according to People.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents the alleged victims of Cosby, said the women feared speaking out publicly about Cosby's harassments to them. "Many of them were in fear because they had never spoken out publicly about anything and certainly in some cases had never even told family, co-workers and friends about what they alleged Mr. Cosby did to them," said Allred, according to the Daily News.
