In a new interview with Daily News, an eighth woman has come forward with another allegation against Bill Cosby.
Actress Angela Leslie recalls being forced to fondle the comedian in a Las Vegas hotel in 1992 after he summoned her for an impromptu audition. After pouring a stiff drink that she abstained from drinking, he told her to act like she was blasted on booze.
“If you want to act, show me what you’ve got,” he allegedly demanded. “Pretend you’re intoxicated.”
When she refused, “he asked me to go into the bathroom and wet my hair… I walked back out, and he had removed his clothing and gotten into bed.” Cosby began rubbing against Leslie before pouring lotion into her palm and pulling her hand under the blankets.
“With his hand on top of mine, he had me massage his (package). He masturbated with my hand. I wasn’t pulling back,” she admitted. “I was in shock.”
Victims of Cosby’s sexual assaults that have come forth have all been younger than he was, with six of the eight claiming to have been drugged by the funnyman.
Barbara Bowman, who alleges to a similar story, says she was also asked to go into a bathroom, wet her hair and act like she was wasted on alcohol before he fixed her a drugged drink and raped her when she was 17.
The former actress now works in logistics management, but decided to come forward after hearing the tales of other women who were also targeted by Cosby.
“I just feel he’s been too quiet, not saying anything, not apologizing,” she said. “He’s trying to pretend these girls are lying. It’s frustrating. He is that type of person, a predator. It doesn’t matter your age, he’s going to put his hands on you and degrade you.”
