Bill Cosby Rape and Sexual Abuse Claims: Beverly Johnson Talks Life After Accusing Comedian of Drugging Her [Video]
It's been a month since supermodel Beverly Johnson came forward about the night she claims Bill Cosby drugged her. Since coming out as a victim in the scandal surrounding the comedian, Johnson admits that her life has completely changed.
Johnson recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter at the Palm Springs Film Festival about her life since coming forward, revealing that "it's been a whirlwind of a month." Despite the backlash from critics who have accused Johnson and the other alleged Cosby victims of lying, Johnson revealed she continues to stand by her decision to tell the story of her horrific experience with Cosby.
"My whole life changed in the last month. There has been an outpouring of women telling me their sexual abuse stories. I knew it was an important thing to do," she said. "Now I hear these stories wherever I go. I know, though, that speaking out was the right thing to do -- it is always the right thing to do."
Johnson first accused Cosby of drugging her and attempting to take advantage of her last month via a Vanity Fair essay. In the essay, Johnson recalls Cosby insisting that she drink a cup of coffee from his cappuccino machine.
"I knew by the second sip of the drink Cosby had given me that I'd been drugged -- and drugged good," she said. "My head became woozy, my speech became slurred, and the room began to spin nonstop."
In a separate interview on "The View," Johnson admitted to not knowing if she was raped by Cosby but absolutely knowing that he drugged her and spiked her coffee.
Kathie Lee Gifford is the latest woman to admit to having an intimate moment with Cosby. She recently admitted on the "Today" show that Cosby tried to kiss her but did not rape her.
Over two dozen women have come forward in the rape allegations against Bill Cosby, including super model Janice Dickinson.
