Crew goes on drunken rampage
On a flight from England to Mexico, Eon’s film crew triggers an international air safety alert by going on a drunken rampage. Hi Fly sent a report to Eon, detailing the film crew’s misdeeds: they removed a safety pin from one of the aircraft’s doors; they vomited and urinated in the aisles; they flouted the aircraft’s strict no-smoking ban; and they verbally abused cabin crew and other passengers. After the plane landed, it appeared to workers that a bunch of wild animals had gone through the plane.
The behaviour of a handful of crew members got out of hand and made things very unpleasant for their fellow passengers. Eon has apologised to all the crew members who had to endure this intolerable behaviour.
Accuse Cosby of sexual assault
Welles and Shapiro have come forward claiming comedian Bill Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted them while they were teenagers. Welles said she was a 17-year-old aspiring singer when she met Cosby in Hollywood. Welles:
He was a star. He was Bill Cosby and I buried it in my memory until all of these brave women began to come forward.
Shapiro said when she met Cosby, she was 19 and working at a donut shop in Santa Monica. She claims Cosby drove her to his place, where she took a box of matches inscribed with his name. They went to the Playboy mansion, and she took a pill after losing a bet with Cosby. She reportedly woke up with him (Bill Cosby) laying on top of her, sexually assaulting her. Shapiro presented the box of matches as evidence during the press conference.
Accuses Obama
Zimmerman appears in a video accusing Obama of breaking the law when he tasked the Department of Justice to pursue him:
For him to make incendiary comments, as he did, and direct the Department of Justice to pursue a baseless prosecution he, by far, overstretched, overreached, even broke the law in certain aspects, to where you have an innocent American being prosecuted by the federal government, which should never happen…He held a ceremony at the White House, inviting the Martin-Fulton Family, and stating that they should take the day to reflect upon the fact that all children’s lives matter. Unfortunately for the President, I am also my parents’ child and my life matters as well…The President should have done what he said he was going to do and not interject himself in a local law enforcement matter, or a state matter, and waited until the facts came out. Instead rushing to judgment and making racially charged comments and pitting American against American…He should have taken the high road, given his position, and been an example, been a leader as the President should be and say, ‘let’s not rush to judgment,’ as I’m sure he would want that same luxury afforded to him if he was accused of something.
New accuser
Thomas claims Cosby took advantage of her when she sought his help as an aspiring actress in 1984. Thomas alleges that after Cosby gave her a glass of Chablis, she woke up in bed with Cosby naked trying to force himself upon her.
I was beginning to think though…that whole keeping-your-silence is a form of acceptance. It’s not supporting the women who are coming forward. It’s not helping … and if enough people make enough of a fuss, maybe we can get a culture that starts to listen.
Fourth, male, victim revealed
The Jezebel article also mentions that there is a fourth Nungesser victim, Adam, who says that he was close friends with Paul during his freshman year in 2011. Adam claims that, in the midst of an emotional conversation in Nungesser’s dorm room, he was pushed onto his bed and sexually assaulted. He claims that after much self-doubt and internal struggle, he finally reported this incident, first to a student society to which both he and Nungesser belonged and then in a formal complaint to the university in the fall of 2014.
Says Obama forced The Interview release
North Korea claims Obama is behind the release of The Interview. The country’s National Defense Commission releases a statement insulting Obama:
(Obama) is the chief culprit who forced the Sony Pictures Entertainment to indiscriminately distribute the movie, blackmailing cinemas in the US. Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest.
Claims two day blackout after Cosby drugging
A woman identified only as Lisa claims Cosby drugged her when she visited his hotel room in the 1980s. Appearing on Dr. Phil along with six other Cosby accusers, Lisa says she was given two drinks by Cosby and woke up at her home two days later.
I noticed myself getting a little dizzy. Bill had sat down on the edge of the couch. He said, ‘Come over here and have a seat.’ And he had his legs open and when I sat down, I was sitting down in between his legs with my back to his crotch. And he started to stroke my hair back in a petting motion like this. The last thing I remember is just feeling the strokes on my head. After that, I don’t remember anything else.
Claims Cosby drugged her
Johnson writes an essay for Vanity Fair in which she claims to have been drugged by Cosby at his New York City brownstone in the mid-80s. Johnson writes:
It’s nuts, I know, but it felt oddly inappropriate arguing with Bill Cosby so I took a few sips of the coffee just to appease him. Now let me explain this: I was a top model during the 70s, a period when drugs flowed at parties and photo shoots like bottled water at a health spa. I’d had my fun and experimented with my fair share of mood enhancers. I knew by the second sip of the drink Cosby had given me that I’d been drugged—and drugged good. My head became woozy, my speech became slurred, and the room began to spin nonstop. Cosby motioned for me to come over to him as though we were really about to act out the scene. He put his hands around my waist, and I managed to put my hand on his shoulder in order to steady myself. As I felt my body go completely limp, my brain switched into automatic-survival mode. That meant making sure Cosby understood that I knew exactly what was happening at that very moment. You are a motherf-cker aren’t you? That’s the exact question I yelled at him as he stood there holding me, expecting me to bend to his will. I rapidly called him several more “motherf-ckers.” By the fifth, I could tell that I was really pissing him off. At one point he dropped his hands from my waist and just stood there looking at me like I’d lost my mind. What happened next is somewhat cloudy for me because the drug was in fuller play by that time. I recall his seething anger at my tirade and then him grabbing me by my left arm hard and yanking all 110 pounds of me down a bunch of stairs as my high heels clicked and clacked on every step. I feared my neck was going to break with the force he was using to pull me down those stairs.
Claim: 12 former bunnies raped by Cosby
Masten tells CNN there are 12 former Playboy bunnies who were also raped by Cosby, but will not come forward.
(There are) 12 former bunnies that I know of that are ashamed to come forward, frightened to come forward, married with families (and) don’t want to come forward. But they were also drugged and raped by Bill Cosby.
Alleges that Cosby drugged and raped her
Masten, a former Playboy bunny, alleges that Cosby drugged and raped her in an interview with CNN. Masten says she met Cosby while working at Playboy’s famous Chicago club in the late 1970’s which led to a dinner where Masten claims Cosby gave her a glass of Grand Marnier.
The next thing I knew, it was 4 o’clock in the morning. I woke up in a bed naked, bruised. He was laying next to me, and I slithered out of the bed… I got myself together, I went downstairs, I got in a cab, and I went home. There were bruise marks all over me. I knew I was raped.
Attorney alleges extortion attempt
Cosby’s attorney, Martin Singer, alleges that Judy Huth and her attorney tried to extort money from Cosby before filing suit against the comedian this week. Singer files a notice of demurrer with Los Angeles Superior Court.
Plaintiff Judy Huth filed a meritless and unsupported 40-year-old claim against Bill Cosby alleging decades-old sexual abuse immediately after Mr. Cosby rejected plaintiff’s outrageous demand for money in order not to make her allegations public. Recognizing that they committed extortion and could face significant consequences for their conduct, plaintiff’s counsel Marc Strecker rushed to the courthouse to file this lawsuit on behalf of his client. Under California law, the only way that an alleged victim of childhood sexual abuse would be able to assert an otherwise time-barred claim is to allege that the psychological injury or illness had been repressed and was only discovered within the last three years. Without providing any specific allegations, or the mandated certification from a mental health professional to support her claim, plaintiff alleges that she discovered her psychological injuries and illness ‘within the three years prior to the filing of the complaint.’ Conspicuously absent from her complaint, however, is the fact, confirmed by plaintiff’s counsel, that plaintiff unsuccessfully tried to sell her story to the tabloids nearly a decade ago. Through her lawyer, plaintiff made extortionate threats to Mr. Cosby (through his counsel) about criminal penalties, coupled with ever increasing demands for a six-figure payday to keep quiet about her long since expired claims.
Claims Cosby drugged her
During a press conference in Los Angeles led by attorney Gloria Allred, Chelan claims that Cosby drugged, sexually assaulted her and then gave her 1,500, while she was working at the Las Vegas Hilton at age 17.
He gave me a blue pill, which he said was an antihistamine. He was rubbing my neck… he had me put on a Hilton robe, and said that someone from the Ford agency was coming to the suite, and that I should wet my hair. Mr. Cosby walked me to the bedroom after a second shot of amaretto. He said it would help my cold. I laid down. He laid next to me on the bed, and began pinching my left nipple, and humping on my leg while he was grunting… I couldn’t open my eyes… I felt something warm on my legs, and I blacked out. Hours later, I woke up to him clapping his hands and saying, ‘Daddy says wake up.’
Claims Cosby drugged and assaulted her
Ferrier, who was Jane Doe No. 5 in Andrea Constad’s civil lawsuit against Cosby, says that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in the 1980s, during a press conference led by attorney Gloria Allred in Los Angeles.
He drugged me and sexually assaulted me. I want Mr. Cosby to face justice for what he has done to me and so many other women.
Lawsuit alleges underage rape
Huth files a suit alleging that Cosby sexually assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion in 1974, when she was 15. The lawsuit is the first that Cosby has faced claiming sexual abuse since 2005, and the first claiming underage abuse. Huth alleges she and a 16-year-old friend met Cosby that year at Lacy Park in San Marino after they wandered over to a movie set where he was shooting. The assault allegedly occurred later, after Huth said they played billiards at Cosby’s L.A. County tennis club, where she was required to drink a beer every time Cosby won a game. Cosby allegedly told them to state that they were 19 years of age if anyone asked, and then took them to the Playboy Mansion. The lawsuit alleges that once at the mansion, Huth used a bathroom and came out to find Cosby sitting on a bed, where he attempted to put his hand down her pants, and then took her hand and performed a sexual act on himself without her consent. Suit:
This traumatic incident, at such a tender age, has caused psychological damage and mental anguish … that has caused her significant problems through her life
Accuses Cosby of sexual abuse
Allison reveals a night she spent with Cosby where they had dinner and celebrated her birthday:
He said he wanted to help models and actors who were well-educated, who could do something else. He produced a vintage bottle of wine, I was really impressed, he poured me a glass. The wine tasted awful, and I suddenly felt woozy and ill. Reeling, I sat on a couch. Cosby then lifted me up and lead her into another room. He said, Look in the mirror, and see the glow in your face. I looked at myself and I didn’t look good, my eyes were all over the place. Cosby grabbed my hand and placed it on his genitals. That was my sexual assault by this comedian. He turned me around and said, ‘Let’s get you home’. At the door, he gave me a very hard embrace and a hard kiss.
Alleges Cosby drugged and raped her
Hill, who co-starred alongside Cosby in his Picture Pages educational videos in the 1980s, claims Cosby may have drugged and sexually assaulted her, in an interview with Pittsburgh news station KDKA.
One time, I remember just before I passed out, I remember him kissing and touching me and I remember the taste of his cigar on his breath, and I didn’t like it. I remember another time when I woke up in my bed the next day and he was leaving. He mentioned you should probably lose a little weight. I thought that odd, how would he know that? “It just felt weird to me, and I remember being in high school saying to him, ‘I’ll come see you, but I don’t want to drink because it makes me feel funny. And he would tell me that if I didn’t drink, I couldn’t come see him.
Accuses Cosby of molestation
On Dec. 24, 1974 Playboy bunny Butterfield, says Cosby came onto her in his Massachusetts home while his wife and five children were in the house:
He pinned me against the corner in that guest house I said, Your family’s here! What are you doing?’ That didn’t faze him. He was aggressive. He didn’t rape me and he didn’t drug me, but he cornered me. It was so nasty, trying to get a quick kiss and touch my boobs. I felt so cheap, I was young, and I felt totally dirty. I just felt like I wanted to be invisible, I was so ashamed.
Says Cosby slipped her a Quaalude
Emmons, who ran comedy clubs in the 70s and 80s, tells TMZ that Cosby slipped her a Quaalude as medicine to cure a headache. Emmons says she blacked out then woke up naked in a bed in Cosby’s suite with one of Cosby’s friends. Emmons adds that she confronted Cosby who told her the pill was “just a Quaalude”.
Accuses Cosby of sexual harassment
Model-actress Leslie accuses Cosby of sexual harassment when she is targeted after sending the comedian a letter and photograph. She checks into a Las Vegas hotel and Cosby summons her to his luxury suite:
If you want to act, show me what you’ve got. Pretend you’re intoxicated. He pours me a stiff drink and tells me to act like I was blasted on booze, I couldn’t drink it. I tasted it and put it down. Then he asked me to go into the bathroom and wet my hair. . . . I walked back out, and he had removed his clothing and gotten into bed.
Alleges sexual assault at Johnny Carson show taping
Moritz, who played Rose in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and was in Cheech & Chong’s Up In Smoke and had television parts in the 70s, says Cosby put his penis in her mouth in the NBC studio in New York before a taping of Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show in 1971. She says he promised that she would become a star through his direction, before then assaulting her:
He took his hands and put them on the back of my head and forced his penis in my mouth, saying, ‘have a taste of this. It will do you good in so many ways.’
Cosby’s lawyer responds:
We’ve reached a point of absurdity. The stories are getting more ridiculous…Mortiz is a lawyer who was disciplined by the California State Bar and ordered not to practice.
TMZ confirms this, saying Mortiz cannot practice because she didn’t report certain quarterly reports. The nature of the reports is unclear from the documents.
