Bernard claimed that she last saw the comedian at the “Cosby Show” studios in 1992, where he told her, “As far as I’m concerned, Bernard, you’re dead. Do you hear me? You’re dead, Bernard. You don’t exist, I never wanna see your face again. Now get the hell out of here!”
“I interpreted that as a death threat and feared for my life,” Bernard said.

Margie Shapiro
Date of Alleged Assault – 1975
Date of Accusation – March 27, 2015
Shapiro told reporters that she met Cosby in 1975 while she was working at a donut shop in Santa Monica, where Cosby ordered dozens of donuts. She claimed that she was invited to Cosby’s film set, where she spent the afternoon with the comedian.
Afterward, she was invited to a casual dinner with Cosby, but the dinner was canceled and the comedian invited her to the Playboy Mansion instead, Shapiro, who said she was 19 at the time, continued. Instead, the pair entered what she called a “rec place” or “game house,” and Cosby told her whoever lost at pinball had to take a pill. Shapiro lost — and when she came to, both she and Cosby were naked, and Cosby was inside of her. Shapiro claims to have “mercifully” passed out again, but every time she regained consciousness, Cosby was touching her s*xually.
The alleged victim said that Cosby acted as if nothing had happened, eventually telling her that they would not be seeing Hugh Hefner and that she wasn’t dressed nicely enough, instead a driver took her home.
Sunni Welles
Date of Alleged Assault – Mid-60s
Date of Accusation – March 27, 2015
Welles claimed that she met Cosby when she was a little girl, due to the fact that her mother — who once considered him to be a friend — was a theatrical agent. “I once liked Cosby very much, but that has changed now,” Welles said.
According to Welles, in the mid-1960s when she was 17 her mother took her to the set of Cosby’s “I Spy,” where Cosby asked her for her number. Cosby then invited Welles to see jazz.
The teen, who was auditioning for background singer jobs at the time, was “thrilled” by the invitation. At the jazz club, she ordered a Coke, and that “things began to become blurry” after she took a sip of it. Welles, who said that she didn’t remember leaving the club or driving anywhere, added that she woke up naked in an apartment where Cosby couldn’t be found. Welles went home and showered, she told reporters, and felt like she had s*x. “I did not want to believe that a family friend would do that to me,” Welles told reporters at the office of attorney Gloria Allred.

“I was shocked and had no clue as to how I got there or why Mr. Cosby was beside me under the covers naked. I couldn’t move or speak,” she added. “I felt paralyzed. He flipped me over and s*xually assaulted me. I felt like a rag doll and like a real life blow-up doll for him.”

“I am furious and I have decided to fight for my rights and the rights of every man, woman and child who have been victims of a s*xual crime,” Lublin continued. “I have contacted every senator and assembly-person from the state of Nevada and I will continue to rally every victim of s*xual assault, every rape crisis center and every supporter who believes in the right to have an offender tried in a court of law,” she said.

We were still standing at the door when he attacked me. It was so fast and so shocking and so unbelievable.”

When plaintiff emerged from the bathroom, she found Cosby sitting on the bed. He asked her to sit beside him. He then proceeded to s*xually molest her by attempting to put his hand down her pants, and then taking her hand in his hand and performing a s*x act on himself without her consent.”
According to the suit, Huth suffered “psychological damage and mental anguish” as a result of the alleged incident.
Huth has accused him of s*xual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress, and she is seeking compensatory, exemplary and punitive damages.

Date of Accusation – Nov. 25, 2014
A former model who would only identify herself as Jena T. claimed Cosby pressured her into performing a s*xual act on him in 1989, when she was a teen. The Florida woman, now 44, said she was only 17 when she first met Cosby in 1988. She claimed he pressured her into giving him a handjob sometime later in 1989, with promises of rewards. “He promised my parents he’d take care of me,” Jena T. told People, in an article published Tuesday.
Jena T. said she penned a poem for him later that year, and sent it to him: “Receive a phone call from the Big Man/Who says he has a plan… He is a thief, a hypocrite and a whore/Who only wants more.” According to People, she spoke out about her alleged interactions with Cosby in 2005 as part of a civil complaint against Cosby filed by another alleged victim of his s*xual assault.
Jewel Allison told the New York Daily News that Cosby took her to dinner one night in the late 1980s, but was victimized after drinking wine which made her ill. Allison alleged Cosby later took her hand and put it on his genitals: “That was my s*xual assault by this comedian… He turned me around and said, ‘Let’s get you home.’ At the door, he gave me a very hard embrace and a hard kiss.”
“We may be looking at America’s greatest serial rapist that ever got away with this for the longest amount of time,” she continued. “He got away with it because he was hiding behind the image of Cliff Huxtable.”

Kristina Ruehli
Date of Alleged Assault – 1965
Date of Accusation – Nov. 24, 2014
Kristina Ruehli is 71 right now. She was 22 in 1965, the year she alleges Cosby drugged her and began to s*xually assault her while she was passed out.
“He must have drugged me. There is just one point at which I was having a drink and feeling normal and the next I was somehow passed out completely,” she told Philadelphia magazine in an interview published on Friday. “He must have slipped something into my drink. I woke up in the bed. I found myself on the bed, and he had his shirt off. He had unzipped his pants. I was just coming to. He was attempting to force me into oral s*x. He had his hand on my head. He had his cock out, and he had my head pushed close enough to it — I just remember looking at his stomach hair. And the hair on his chest. I had never seen a black man naked before,” she continued.
“And it never went past that. I immediately came to and was immediately very sick. I pushed myself away and ran to the bathroom and threw up. I was feeling really ill. And I never got sick like that from alcohol, at least not that small of an amount.”
Ruehli said she didn’t speak of the incident for quite awhile because she was embarrassed, but she changed her mind when another accuser came forward.
“I didn’t want to bring it up. I was embarrassed,” she said. “When Andrea Constand brought her lawsuit against Cosby, I decided to come forward to her attorneys. I didn’t think I was damaged, so there wouldn’t be any lawsuit coming from me. I don’t need money or aggravation. I’m very wealthy, so I have nothing to gain. But I wanted to come forward to tell the truth to back up other people.”
