Bill Cosby is being sued for alleged sexual assault by nine women in Nevada. The accusers include Janice Dickinson and Lili Bernard, TMZ reported citing the new lawsuit.
The women are suing the comedian for a series of sexual assaults and batteries from 1979 to 1992 in Nevada. They say that the alleged incidents took place in his suite in the same Las Vegas hotel.
The accusers are: Janice Dickinson, Lise-Lotte Lublin, Janice Baker Kinney, Lili Bernard, Heidi Thomas, Linda Kirkpatrick, Rebecca Cooper, Pam Joy Abeyta and Angela Leslie. NBC first broke the story.
Andrew Wyatt, Cosby’s spokesperson, accused the women suing the comedian of being motivated by their “addiction to massive amounts of media attention and greed.”

Cosby, now 85 years old, has been accused of sexual abuse – from groping to rape – by more than 60 women. Only last month, he was sued by Victoria Valentino, who claimed decades-old allegations of sexual assault.
Valentino said that she met Cosby in 1969. They were allegedly given pills and taken to his office, as per the filing.

“After ingesting the pill, Plaintiff’s head began nodding and she struggled to keep her head up and stay awake. Plaintiff felt nauseated, and her head was spinning. She stated, ‘I want to go home now,’” according to the filing.
“The trauma he inflicted upon me affects not only me, but my children and grandchildren. By breaking my silence and speaking my truth, I hope this serves as my legacy to my family, and shows those survivors who have yet to find their voices, that hope and healing are possible,” Valentino said in a statement shared by her attorney.
