Bill Cosby faces sex abuse accusations from 3 more women

Kevork Djansezian

Attorney Gloria Allred (2nd l.) speaks during a news conference Wednesday in Los Angeles with three women accusing Bill Cosby of sexual assault: Colleen Hughes (l.), Linda Ridgeway Whitedeer (2nd r.) and actress Eden Tirl (r.).

Three more women came forward Wednesday with accusations of being sexually abused by Bill Cosby — including a former flight attendant who said the creepy comedian grossed her out by sipping champagne from one of her Gucci shoes.

“I said, ‘Ewww, don’t do that, that’s yucky, I just walked 3,000 miles in those shoes’,” Colleen Hughes said. “He raised the shoe toward me offering the drink in my shoe to me and said, ‘A princess should always drink champagne out of a glass slipper.’”

Hughes said she passed on the shoe but accepted a glass of bubbly from Cosby and the next thing she remembered was waking up hours later in her hotel room and finding semen on her back.

“Bill obviously did not use a condom,” she said.

Hughes and former actresses Linda Ridgeway and Eden Tirl said they were all in their 20s when they crossed paths with Cosby. They joined the more than 40 women who have already made reputation-ruining accusations against Cosby. The 78-year-ancient continues to deny any wrongdoing.

“Many of them were in dread because they had never spoken out publicly about anything and certainly in some cases had never even told family, co-workers and friends about what they allege Mr. Cosby did to them,” said lawyer Gloria Allred, who represents the trio and other Cosby accusers.

Former flight attendant Colleen Hughes gave a graphic account of her alleged assault, saying Cosby drank champagne from her Gucci shoe in a hotel room before drugging and raping her.

Hughes, a former model, said she met Cosby back in the 1970s while effective on an American Airlines flight to Los Angeles. She said she ran into Cosby on another flight a year after the alleged attack.

“It was evident to me that he did not remember me and used the same line about how I was a ‘fine Irish lass,’” the 64-year-ancient said. “I told him, ‘You already had me once and I don’t want to ever be drugged by you again.’”

Hughes said Cosby questioned her if she told anyone. She said no.

“You are Bill Cosby, who would believe me?” she recalled telling him.

Ridgeway, 69, had a small part in the 1972 Charles Bronson movie “The Mechanic.” She said she was attacked by Cosby in 1971 when she went to talk to him about her career.

“His attack was quick with surgical precision and bolt from the blue on his side,” she said.

Cosby mandatory her to perform oral sex and afterward she felt like “a small animal that had been hit by a car,” she said.

“He was mumbling that I had been blessed with his semen, like holy water,” she added, stammering.

Tirl, 49, a former model who played a cop in one episode of “The Cosby Show” and a teacher in another, said she met him after a taping in 1989. He chatted with her in his dressing room about her interest in acting and then he came onto her.

“I had one last deterrent up my sleeve,” she recalled, breaking down in tears. “‘I said ‘Bill, you are Jell-o Pudding Pops and Stout Albert to me.’”

Actresses Eden Tirl (l.) and Linda Ridgeway also detailed their alleged sexual assaults at the hands of comedian Bill Cosby.

Cosby made her turn around and wrapped her in his arms, whispering come-ons in her ear, she said.

“See, that’s all we were going to do, make like,” the comedian said, according to Tirl.

She left before things went any further and kept silent all these years.

“Bill Cosby was untouchable,” Tirl said.

Three more women on Wednesday lobbed sex abuse allegations at Bill Cosby.

Once a beloved cultural icon best-known for playing doting dad and husband Cliff Huxtable, Cosby has seen his good guy image shattered as woman after woman has come forward with claims that he attacked them — and that in some cases he groped them after doping them.

The long-married Cosby damned himself during a 2005 deposition when he admitted under oath that he obtained Quaaludes in the 1970s and intended to give them to women. Cosby’s lawyers persist the comedian never admitted using Quaaludes, which he referred to as “disco biscuits,” to drug and rape women.
