Cosby lawyer rips into accuser

– Bill Cosby’s defense lawyer yesterday ferociously attacked the credibility of a celebrity model who says the disgraced megastar raped her in 1982.

Janice Dickinson yesterday became the fourth of five accusers to testify at Cosby’s retrial.

Dickinson says that Cosby flew her first class from Bali, Indonesia, where she was modeling, to a ritzy ski resort in the Sierra Nevada for what she thought would be talks about her career.

Over dinner he allegedly handed her a blue pill, which she thought would ease menstrual cramps, but left her dizzy and “out of it”.

She says Cosby then raped her, leaving her “very, very sore” and “in shock and humiliated”.

“I remember the taste of his kiss, it smelt like cigars and espresso... Here’s ‘America’s Dad’ on top of me, a happily married man with five children... I remember thinking how very, very wrong it was.”

Cosby’s lawyer Tom Mesereau claims the accusers are money grabbers.

Mesereau yesterday brandished a memoir written by Dickinson in 2002 that makes no mention of the rape. Instead it says each went to their separate rooms, where she drank, took sedatives and went to sleep.

“You lied to get a paycheck?” Mesereau hectored.

“I don’t lie, Sir, don’t call me a liar,” Dickinson said. “You take poetic license in what you do. Today I’m on a sworn Bible ... to tell my true story.”

Mesereau then accused her of misleading Sylvester Stallone that she was pregnant with his child while the couple dated.

“I had sex with two men that month. He wasn’t the only contender,” Dickinson replied. “I told him I was pregnant.”

“He stayed [with] me throughout the entire pregnancy and after the DNA test ... [confirmed] he was not the father of my child, I told the father of the child he was the father of my daughter.”

Cosby’s first trial ended in a hung jury in June last year. –
