Janice Dickinson ghostwriter confirms Bill Cosby account
Quote:
Janice Dickinson spoke about allegedly being raped by Bill Cosby long before officially coming forward Tuesday with the accusations against the comedian. The former “America's Next Top Model” judge insinuated to being wronged by Cosby in a 2006 interview with Howard Stern.
Stern began his radio show Wednesday morning with audio tape of that interview in which Dickinson was asked about her relationship with Cosby.
In the 2006 interview, she stated “Bill Cosby was the only guy I couldn't write about in the book because Harper Collins was afraid of a lawsuit. I don't want to get near that because I don't have the shekels that you do or that Cosby does. The guy's a bad guy, let me just say that. He's not a nice guy. He preys on women who've just come out of rehab, I'll say that.”
Now the ghostwriter of Janice Dickinson’s book has confirmed that the model told him Bill Cosby sexually assaulted her.
Her credibility was attacked by Bill’s attorney, who pointed out that her story contradicts her book.
But Janice’s ghostwriter, Pablo Fenjves, backs up that Janice told him about the assault when they were writing her 2002 book and that she wanted to include it, but he nixed the idea.
"Janice told me this story years ago, when I was helping her with her first book, ‘No Lifeguard on Duty.’ She told me that Bill Cosby had invited her to Tahoe to talk to her about her career, but he had other plans.
"She shared many of the details with me, and she was visibly shaken by the memory, but I told her that we wouldn't be able to use any of it. I knew the lawyers at HarperCollins weren't going to risk it. 'It'll be your word against his,' I told her."
Considering he went decades without paying for his behavior, I'd say he's getting off way too easy by getting blacklisted @ age 77 when he really has nothing to lose.
