A superior court judge in Los Angeles has granted model Janice Dickinson's attorney to depose disgraced comedian Bill Cosby and his former lawyer for denying Dickinson's rape allegations against him.
Lisa Bloom, Dickinson's lawyer, can depose the comedian and his former attorney Martin Singer before Nov. 25, Judge Debre Katz Weintraub ruled, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Cosby and Singer had gone their separate ways back in May, and the latter was replaced by Christopher Tayback, a partner from Quinn Emanuel.
"We are pleased that this morning the court granted our motion to permit us to take the depositions of Bill Cosby and his attorney, Martin Singer, forthwith," Bloom said in a statement, according to ETOnline.
The model first opened up about her allegations that Cosby drugged her into unconsciousness then raped her in November of last year. Singer dismissed her claims in a statement, saying that her story is "an outrageous defamatory lie" and "completely fabricated."
Dickinson then filed a defamation lawsuit against the comedian back in May, claiming that he slated her story "with the intent and effect of revictimizing her and destroying the professional reputation she's spent decades building," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
