Cosby, 77, has been publicly accused by 18 women of sexually assaulting them or attempting to sexually assault them over the past four decades. His lawyers have denied the claims and called many of the women liars and opportunists. Cosby refused to address the stories in recorded interviews with the Associated Press and National Public Radio.
There’s a troubling new story out on Bill Cosby today, after reports noted and alleged that yet another National Enquirer story was killed way back when — by means of Cosby himself. Page Six reports that the story, propelled by Cosby’s own daughter who intended to tell-all about one of Cosby’s incidents in which he raped a woman, was killed by Cosby himself after he sold out his daughter to the tabloids.
New York Post columnist Richard Johnson has the scoop:
Johnson says the story comes from a tabloid journalist he's known for years, who was working for the National Enquirer in 1989, when Cosby was at the height of his fame. Johnson said his friend was working on a story to run in the Enquirer about Cosby “swinging with Sammy Davis Jr. and some showgirls in Las Vegas.”
When the paper contacted Cosby for comment on the story, the reporter says the comedian offered them another one as a trade. That story was about Cosby's 23-year-old daughter daughter Erinn's battles with drugs and alcohol.
“My editor told me that daddy Cosby was the source," the source told Johnson. "He ratted out his flesh and blood.”
Cosby was also quoted in the item saying: “Deep down inside, she knows we love her.”
