Beverly Johnson in Vanity Fair article:
My head became woozy, my speech became slurred, and the room began to spin nonstop. Cosby motioned for me to come over to him as though we were really about to act out the scene. He put his hands around my waist, and I managed to put my hand on his shoulder in order to steady myself.
As I felt my body go completely limp, my brain switched into automatic-survival mode. That meant making sure Cosby understood that I knew exactly what was happening at that very moment.
You are a motherfucker arent you?
Thats the exact question I yelled at him as he stood there holding me, expecting me to bend to his will. I rapidly called him several more motherfuckers. By the fifth, I could tell that I was really pissing him off. At one point he dropped his hands from my waist and just stood there looking at me like Id lost my mind.
What happened next is somewhat cloudy for me because the drug was in fuller play by that time. I recall his seething anger at my tirade and then him grabbing me by my left arm hard and yanking all 110 pounds of me down a bunch of stairs as my high heels clicked and clacked on every step. I feared my neck was going to break with the force he was using to pull me down those stairs.

Bill Cosby is a serial rapist.... I got no problem saying it! (Original Post)

(8,267 posts)1. And, I have heard enough
to believe that Mr. Cosby used his power and popularity to serially assault young women. He could face the consequences of his depravity like Dr. Huxtable might, but I now realize he is NOT a good, kind man, although he portrayed one on TV.

(16,125 posts)3. It makes me sad
to realize that the persona was not at all real. That the 'good guy' was, in reality, a monster under the public face.
