Bill Cosby's last name has become a verb, but for all the wrong reasons.
The latest woman to speak out against the comedian and his alleged suspicious actions towards females is comedienne Chelsea Handler. In a candid interview with Esquire, the star revealed that she was once almost "Cosbied."
"He tried to Cosby me," she said in an interview with Esquire and fellow comedian Nick Offerman.
Handler was in Atlantic City, N.J. doing stand-up at the same hotel as Cosby. In the afternoon, someone from the hotel told her that Cosby would like to meet her and the comedienne found that "really weird"— so weird that she made three of her guy friends go with her to his room.
"...Now I know what would've happened if I went up there alone," she said. "And I forgot about it when all the stories about Bill Cosby came out. I was like, I didn't even think of it. Then my friend texted me the other day saying, 'Do you remember that night we went up to, or that afternoon we went up to Bill Cosby's and you were so freaked out you made us come with you?' And I said, 'Yeah,' and he said, 'Hello! You could've been one of his victims if we weren't there.' And I went, 'Oh my gosh...'"
Based off of her own experience, Handler doesn't have a doubt about whether or not the countless stories about Cosby are true.
"Yeah.. he's guilty," she said.
Cosby's troubled past hasn't been a secret since fellow comedian Hannibal Buress brought it to light while doing stand-up last year.
