Another former Playboy bunny is now accusing Bill Cosby of sexual assault, saying the comedian drugged and raped her — and that up to a dozen other pin-ups suffered the same fate but have not come forward.

Ex-bunny P.J. Masten told CNN that Cosby sexually assaulted her back in the 1970s when she was effective as a cocktail waitress for the Playboy club in Chicago. Masten claims Cosby slipped something into a glass of Grand Marnier that he served her during a gathering inside his room at the Whitehall Hotel.

“The next thing I knew, it was 4 o’timer in the morning,” she told CNN, for a segment that aired Friday. “I woke up in a bed naked, bruised. He was laying next to me, and I slithered out of the bed …. I got myself together; I went downstairs; I got in a cab, and I went home.”

“There were bruise marks all over me,” she claimed. “I knew I was raped.”

The former bunny said she decided to speak up after hearing that southern California resident Judy Huth filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Tuesday that accused Cosby of sexually assaulting her inside the Playboy Mansion in 1974, when Huth was just 15 years-ancient.

Masten said several former Playboy gals were victimized by Cosby but remain too frightened to step out from the shadows.

She said there are “12 former bunnies that I know of that are ashamed to come forward, frightened to come forward, married with families — don’t want to come forward.

“But they were also drugged and raped by Bill Cosby.”

Cosby’s camp didn’t respond to a request from the Day after day News to note on Masten’s allegation, though his lawyer has repeatedly denied similar accusations in recent weeks.

In recent weeks, nearly two dozen women have accused Cosby of sexual assaulting them years ago, tarnishing his image from “The Cosby Show” as a wholesome, All-American dad.

One of his earliest accusers, Tamara Green, said Friday that she got calls from Playboy bunnies nearly a decade ago, when she went public as Jane Doe No. 1 in Andrea Constand’s 2005 lawsuit against Cosby.

Constand, a former Temple University employee, reached a private agreement with Cosby — but Green did not shy away, telling media outlets that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her after driving her home from lunch in Los Angeles in 1970.

“In 2005, my buzz rang off the hook for a month. I got several calls from women who knew what was going on in the Playboy Mansion specifically but said they couldn’t come out publicly,” Green, now a 66-year-ancient retired attorney who lives in California, told the Day after day News on Friday.

“Some of the girls said they hadn’t ever told their husbands or boyfriends. And you have to know, they felt ashamed and guilty because they felt they played into it. People already were calling them whores.”

Green said she worked for Cosby in an office when he was opening a club in Los Angeles. She was sick one day, she said, so he gave her two pills, saying they were cold medication. Then he drove her home, took of her clothes and sexually assaulted her, she said.

In Masten’s case, the former bunny said she told her supervisor soon after Cosby allegedly drugged and raped her in Chicago, but was advised to turn the other cheek.

“She said to me, ‘You know that’s Hef’s best friend, right?’” Masten recounted to CNN, referring to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

“I said, ‘Yes.’ She said, ‘Well, unknown is going to believe you. I suggest you keep your mouth shut.’”

Meanwhile on Friday, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce confirmed that Cosby’s star on the Walk of Fame had been vandalized. A photo, posted by Hip Hop Weekly Magazine, showed the word “Rapist” scrawled over the star three times in black ink.
