More than 50 women have come forward in the past year with sexual assault accusations against comedian Bill Cosby. The women have spoken out in various interviews, including the now-iconic New York Magazine cover story that photographed and printed 35 women's accounts with the disgraced actor. Now about one dozen more women will have the chance to tell their story on the new A&E special "Cosby: The Women Speak," Variety reported.
The special is set to air Thursday and will feature intimate interviews with accusers, who all tell eerily similar stories of how they got involved with Cosby. In the trailer for the upcoming special, all of the women say they were young (all in their early-to-mid-20s), and one woman spoke about the excitement she felt when she learned she would meet the once-legendary comedian.
Actress Louisa Moritz and model Beverly Johnson will tell their stories, and the special will also address the 2014 standup set by comedian Hannibal Burress which sparked the conversation about Cosby's past, according to Entertainment Weekly.
"I think a lie always sees the light," Johnson said in the 30-second preview clip released Monday.
"Cosby: The Women Speak" is produced by Lincoln Square Productions and is executive produced by A&E's Shelly Tatro and Brad Abramson. The special will air this Thursday, Sept. 17 at 9 p.m. EDT on A&E.
