Three more women have stepped forward to present instances where Bill Cosby allegedly drugged, sexually assaulted and harassed them, making it more than 50 people with allegations against him.
The most recent accusations were from an ex-Miss America, a former cocktail waitress in a jazz club and another woman who sought assistance from the comedian since she wanted to be included in Playboy. Gloria Allred, a civil-rights lawyer, emphasized that these women who have resurfaced will not "be the last to speak out about their accusations against Mr. Cosby," People reported.
The three women, Pamela Abeyta, Sharon Van Ert and Lisa Christie detailed what allegedly happened with Cosby during a news conference in Los Angeles.
Van Ert, the former cocktail waitress in Redondo Beach, noted that Cosby used to be a regular customer in their jazz bar and offered to walk her to her car one night.
"I am certain that I had a couple of drinks. I was feeling giddy and excited and happy. Mr. Cosby was very nice and of course I didn't suspect anything," Van Ert said, according to The Wrap. She then began feeling dizzy then Cosby went in the car with her after she told him that she might not be "able to drive home."
"After a while, Mr. Cosby started getting fresh. He was touching me and rubbing my leg. The next thing I remember was waking up in my car, my head hanging down from the seat," she recalled, the Wrap added. "I knew I was drugged because I threw up. When I got home I realized my panties were missing and I never found them. I believe that Mr. Cosby took them after he assaulted me. Afterwards, I contacted the [club] owner's wife and told her what Bill Cosby had done. Nothing came of it so I decided to quit my job."
Abeyta, the model who wanted to appear in Playboy, was taken to Las Vegas in 1975 into Cosby's penthouse, where she believed she was drugged while attending a show with Cosby and his friends. She woke up in Cosby's bed afterwards.
Christie, the former Miss America, met Cosby when she was 18 and he had cast her as an extra on "The Cosby Show," seeing the man as a father figure for two years before he pressured her to sleep with him, Reuters reported.
