In all seriousness. Are there any of the following because I don't see mention of it in the article...
1 - Police reports on the alleged assault of this woman, by Cosby, at his house on the date she claims it occurred?
2 - Hospital records showing this woman was assaulted or drugged on or around the time of this alleged assault by Cosby at his house( pictures, x-rays, detailed reports indicting injury consistent with being grabbed and dragged from a house, blood work showing she was drugged and what drugs they were, etc... )?
3 - How about a witness and/or video backing up her claims? Where was the staff and did they see/hear anything. What does the Cabbie say about how Cosby was acting and how this woman was acting? Has anyone even tried to find the Cabbie to see if this even happened? Did a neighbor see him holding her in the street and then throw her into a cab? Anything?
4 - Is there ANYTHING in the way of proof to back this up or is it just her word and these unsubstantiated claims?
My 1st thought after reading that is how did the staff at Cosby's house, who had just served them dinner by her account of things so they were there, not hear the commotion( like her yelling expletives at him or her being forcibly dragged down the stairs and dragged out of the house )and come to see what was going on? Why didn't they call the Police to help her if she was in trouble or to defend him if they felt she was out of control? Are we to believe/assume that they were in on it too? Seriously now because I read it that other people were there and to let what she describes happen and not help means you are part of it.
If you think the staff was in it with Cosby, or looking the other way for him at the least, why didn't the Cabbie call the Police or take her to a Hospital. I mean she says she was violently dragged from the house, Cosby stood in the middle of the street holding her while angrily flagging down a cab, and then when one stopped he threw her in it, slammed the door and walked off without a word( and I assume without prepaying ). She then says she managed to tell the Cabbie her address before she blacked out in the cab. Ok, if it happened like that why didn't the Cabbie call the Police or take her to the ER? Someone is violently thrust into your cab, who then blacks out, and you do nothing? I doubt that. Or are we to believe Cosby has Cabbies helping him assault and rape women too?
I won't even talk about how she is an actress/model who hasn't done anything meaningful in years and is now older so demand for her is low at best so one could say this is just an attention getter. I mean she is now featured in an article in a well known publication and thus is back in the spotlight. I won't say that though.
I am sorry. If someone drugs you and assaults you, or worse rapes you, and you wait years or even decades to say something don't expect me to just believe you without proof. Only say something after others come out and there is talk of $100 Million and you really better have solid, concrete proof.
Did that happen at Cosby's house to that woman? I have no idea. I can only go by what she said happened, what evidence there is to back her claims up( none that I am aware of ), and other mitigating factors such as these people coming out of the woodwork years and decades later only after someone else says something and a big pay day( or attention )is talked of.
