Bill Cosby Wants His Money Back from Former Accuser

After paying an undisclosed amount of money to Andrea Constand in 2006, settling a case that accused him of sexual assault, Bill Cosby appears to now want Constand to pay him. According to the New York Daily News, Cosby’s lawyers have asked the court for “sanctions” against Constand, now that details from her lawsuit have been made public via The New York Times. According to the Times, Cosby’s deposition, which he had been able to keep private for nearly a decade, was already available via public court records, but the call for sanctions against Constand accuses her of “reneging on what they promised [Cosby]—confidentiality and finality.”
The filing suggests that Constand may have to “disgorge” some or all of the money that Cosby paid her as part of the settlement, and even claims that the new details don’t prove that Cosby drugged and raped women. “Quaaludes were a highly popular recreational drug in the 1970's, labeled in slang as ‘disco biscuits,’ and known for their capacity to increase sexual arousal. There are countless tales of celebrities, music stars and wealthy socialites in the 1970s willingly using Quaaludes for recreational purposes and during consensual sex. Reading the media accounts, one would conclude that [Cosby] has admitted to rape. And yet [Cosby] admitted to nothing more than being one of the many people who introduced Quaaludes into their consensual sex life in the 1970s.”

Statute of limitations laws mean that Constand, along with most of Cosby’s other accusers, are no longer able to push for criminal charges against the comedian. However, one case may still go forward— the California Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a civil lawsuit concerning a 15-year-old allegedly sexually assaulted at the Playboy Mansion in 1974 can still move ahead.

Despite years of settlements and seemingly callous disregard for his accusers, Bill Cosby may wind up in court again, after all.

Bill Cosby wants 'sanctions' against accuser over confidentiality, alleges sex was consensual despite use of Quaaludes — or 'disco biscuits'

First he paid her. Now Bill Cosby wants accuser Andrea Constand to pay.The philandering funnyman is asking a court for "sanctions" against Constand, saying the former basketball manager at Temple University violated the terms of her hush money.
In a new court filing that refers to Quaaludes as "disco biscuits," Cosby claims Constand and her lawyers "are intent on reneging on what they promised (him) - confidentiality and finality."
He says the push by Constand to have his full deposition released is a breach of their 2006 settlement. She wants to "have her cake and eat it too," he claims.
He ominously suggests Constand might be required to "disgorge some or all of the money paid to her by defendant as part of the settlement."

The former pudding pop pitchman also claims he never confessed to drugging or sexually assaulting women in excerpts of his 2005 deposition testimony. He said just because he gave Quaaludes, or "disco biscuits," to some of the women he had sexual encounters with, it doesn't mean the sex was not consensual.
Constand sued Cosby in 2005 claiming the deceitful TV dad sexually assaulted her after plying her with drugs.
A federal judge unsealed parts of his sworn testimony this month after more than two dozen women stepped forward with similar claims.

Cosby's new filing accuses Constand's camp of helping leak the full deposition to the New York Times in recent days because it failed to inform its private court reporting service of the confidentiality clause.
"That conscious neglect has led directly to a colossal breach of that confidentiality," Cosby's filing states. He points out that Constand isn't trying to toss their full agreement, just the privacy pact. "Obviously, she wants to keep what she was paid," his filing states.
He defends his Quaalude prescriptions and extramarital sex as nothing out of the ordinary given the era.
"Quaaludes were a highly popular recreational drug in the 1970's, labeled in slang as 'disco biscuits,' and known for their capacity to increase sexual arousal," Cosby's motion says.
"There are countless tales of celebrities, music stars and wealthy socialites in the 1970s willingly using Quaaludes for recreational purposes and during consensual sex," it claims.
"Reading the media accounts, one would conclude that (Cosby) has admitted to rape. And yet (Cosby) admitted to nothing more than being one of the many people who introduced Quaaludes into their consensual sex life in the 1970s," his filing says.

Really? No I didn't know this.

Bill Cosby has been the recipient of nearly 60 honorary degrees — everything from fine arts, music, education, and law — since his ascent into the world of comedy and acting in the 1960s. They are, like all honorary degrees, practically worthless. Even so, they do represent a public association between the conferring university and the recipient, one that in this case has become highly undesirable after the revelations of nearly 60 women who have publicly accused Cosby of sexual assault and rape. Some of the universities — including Fordham, Marquette, Spelman, Tufts, and Brown — have already severed ties with Cosby. Many of the rest find themselves in uncharted waters, wondering how and if to proceed.

In the latest setback over his sex assault allegations, three colleges in recent days have rescinded honorary degrees awarded to him years ago.
Fordham University in New York and Marquette University in Wisconsin announced last Thursday they had pulled the degrees given to the comedian to honor him. Then, on Monday, Brown University in Rhode Island said that it will do the same.

Now they are stretching....there is nothing wrong with the lesbian using the money from her settlement with Cosby to buy a nice apartment. She was living with her parents up until then. She should be compelled to give back the money though since she breached her agreement.

he New York Post has some shocking news: a woman who accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault used money from a previous settlement with him to buy an apartment.Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee, brought a civil suit against Cosby in 2005 saying he gave her pills and wine until she was unable to move and then sexually assaulted her after authorities declined to press charges. Her case then was settled out of court in 2006.
Constand’s case is back in the news because it’s been reopened and, after more than 50 womenhave come forward with allegations against Bill Cosby accusing him of sexual assault, he wascharged in hers earlier this week. The case has been brought before Pennsylvania’s 12-year statute of limitations would have made it moot.
Constand’s original settlement, and the news of the new charges, led the New York Post’s Page Six section to for some reason report on Friday that she used the money to buy a “ritzy Toronto condo.” Writing that before the settlement she “was living with her parents in Pickering, Ontario,” the paper reported that she “got enough money from the funnyman to score a posh apartment in Toronto’s Candy Factory Lofts.” The celebrity gossip outlet also reported, “Constand was spotted walking her two dogs in a park near the stylish building on Thursday morning, and tweeted a photo of one of her poodles around 11 a.m.”
The Post’s reporting implies that something is amiss about an alleged victim using a settlement to buy a nice place to live.

With Beverly Johnson that makes 8 women he has sued.

Bill Cosby has struck back against some of the dozens of women who've accused him of sexual assault.The world-famous comedian countersued seven women who'd sued him for defamation, saying they actually defamed him.
By saying he sexually assaulted them, the women hurt his reputation so much that plans for a new family comedy on NBC were derailed, the counterclaim said.
The women made "malicious, opportunistic, and false and defamatory accusations of sexual misconduct against" Cosby, his lawyer Monique Pressley said in a statement. They made the accusations to hurt Cosby's reputation and to obtain financial gain, Pressley said.
Cosby is seeking unspecified damages and public retractions from the seven women: Tamara Green, Therese Serignese, Linda Traitz, Louisa Moritz, Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarshis and Angela Leslie.

Besides defamation, the women are also being sued for tortious interference and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Tortious interference, Jackson said, is "a fancy way of saying so many bad things have happened to me -- I've been taken off TV, I've lost honorary degrees -- it's all your fault and I want damages as a result."

Here is what he admitted to under oath:

As the Times reported in July, Cosby described his relationship with Constand as that of a mentor, and that he wooed her by “Inviting her to my house, talking to her about personal situations dealing with her life, growth, education.” As the newspaper reported:

Early on in his courtship, he arranged an intimate meal alone with her at his Pennsylvania home, complete with Cognac, dimmed lights and a fire, he said. At one point he led her to his back porch, out of sight from his chef. “I take her hair and I pull it back and I have her face like this,” he said. “And I’m talking to her …And I talked to her about relaxing, being strong. And I said to her, EDIT EDIT, meaning her EDIT.”
But the two remained inches apart, he said, and he did not try to kiss her because he did not sense she wanted him to. Nevertheless, at the next dinner he said they had what he described as a “sexual moment,” short of EDIT. He described her afterward as having “a glow.”

Cosby said that one night he had given Constand one and a half tablets of Benadryl to relieve stress, and that they kissed and had sexual contact. As New York reports, a civil lawsuit filed by Constand says Cosby “touched her EDIT and EDIT, rubbed his EDIT against her hand, and EDIT EDITED” her. Later on, Cosby says he spoke to Constand’s mother on the telephone since she was upset about what her daughter said happened to her. The Times writes:

During the call, Mr. Cosby told the deposing lawyers, he wanted Ms. Constand to tell her mother “about the EDIT” so that she would realize it was consensual.


“Tell your mother about the EDIT. Tell your mother how we talked,” he said he remembered thinking.

Cosby eventually offered to pay for Constand’s education.
