Janice Dickinson, the former 80s super model who has alleged she was sexually assault by Bill Cosby more than 40 years ago, has successfully argued before a California appeals court that she should be allowed to amend her complaints against both Cosby and his former attorney, Marty Singer on defamation grounds.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Dickinson made public her allegations of sexual assault, prompting media outlets worldwide to republish her allegations and to harang Cosby for a reaction. Several additional alleged victims eventually came forward after Dickinson's interview, lawsuits were filed, and Cosby was blacklisted, losing lucrative licensing, publishing and distribution deals in the aftermath.
Attorney Marty Singer, acting as Cosby;s representative, sent cease and desist letters to the media, asserted that Dickinson's story was "fabricated and is an outrageous defamatory lie." Further, Singer threatened to sue Good Morning America if the ABC show proceeded with a planned segment with Dickinson. The following day, Singer issued a public statement again repeating that Dickinson's story of rape was a lie and different than what she had written in her own autobiography. more
