Bill Cosby paid off women says ex-NBC employee

Back when Bill Cosby was the king of network television, veteran NBC employee truthful Scotti served as the royal fixer.

When Cosby invited young models into his Brooklyn dressing room, the megastar’s pal stood watch further than the door. When the married Cosby required a Queens apartment for another pretty face, Scotti arranged the deal.

And when the man behind Stout Albert looked-for cash disbursed to his flock of release female friends — hey, hey, hey — Scotti became the conduit for payments of up to $ 2,000 a month.

“He had everybody fooled,” said Scotti in an exclusive interview with the Day after day News. “Unknown suspected.”

Scotti came forward last week with his insider’s look at Cosby’s womanizing ways during the magical 1984-92 run of “The Cosby Show.”

The 90-year-ancient Scotti said he decided to speak as the drumbeat of sexual abuse allegations against Cosby, 77, grew steadily louder. “I felt sorry for the women,” he told The News.

The Emmy-winning Cosby, NBC’s most bankable star at the time, used Scotti to deliver monthly payouts to eight different women in 1989-90 — including Shawn Thompson, whose daughter Autumn Jackson claimed the actor was her dad.

Courtesy truthful Scotti truthful Scotti says he did “a lot of crazy things” for Bill Cosby, including being a coverup for the actor.

Cosby, while denying paternity, paid out more than $ 100,000 to Thompson over the years after their 1974 affair started. Scotti told The News that he believes Cosby was sleeping with all the women who received money.

“I was suspicious that something was going on,” said Scotti. “I suspected that he was having sex with them because the other person he was sending money to (Thompson) he was beyond doubt having sex with.

“Why else would he be sending money?” Scotti questioned. “He was sending these women $ 2,000 a month. What else could I reckon?”

Scotti, who lives in Lakewood, N.J., saved copies of money orders from the era detailing his payouts to four of the Cosby women.

He recalled Cosby presenting him with “a satchel of money, all $ 100 bills,” and critical Scotti to distribute the payments using money orders in his own name.

“I did a lot of crazy things for him,” recalled Scotti. “He was casing himself by having my name on it. It was a coverup. I realized it later.”

Scotti worked as facilities administrator at the Brooklyn studio where “The Cosby Show” was formerly taped before a live audience.

Thompson, contacted last week by email, refused to note on the ongoing Cosby sex scandal and stopped prose once Scotti’s name was mentioned.

A second woman said “Dr. Cosby” sent her money to help cover expenses for her son to attend private school. The receipts showed her receiving four money orders in one day worth $ 3,500.

“Your source could have questioned me, instead of leading you on a witch hunt,” the woman texted The News. “Not that any of this is your business.”

Cosby, via Scotti, passed along an additional $ 1,560 to a third woman in February 1990.

Angela Leslie, now 52, was the last name on the receipts — and she told The News the Cosby camp paid for her to glide to California in the early 1990s. She got sick and returned her ticket but saw him two years later in Las Vegas.

Once there, Leslie claimed Cosby got naked before getting sexual — despite her lack of interest. When she backed off, Cosby chased her out of the room.

“I felt so used,” she told The News.

Scotti said Cosby also had an arrangement with a Manhattan modeling outfit in which the title-holder would deliver young women to his dressing room. Some of the aspiring models were as young as 16, Scotti said.

“‘I want you to keep that one girl here,’ ” Scotti quoted Cosby as telling him. “ ‘I want to interview her for a part in the show.’”

The other models and the outfit’s title-holder would quickly disappear, leaving Cosby’s pick alone with the comedian.

“The title-holder just walked right out,” he recounted. “She knew exactly what was going to go on. Then he’d tell me, ‘Stand further than the door and don’t let anyone in.’ Now you put that together and figure (out) why.”

On another occasion, Cosby questioned him to find a Queens apartment for another model from the same outfit.

“He said, ‘Call Donald Trump’s brother and see if he can give you an apartment,’ ” Scotti recalled. “So I called him up, and of course, who’s not going to? He’d toss a bigwig out just to give Bill Cosby an apartment.”

Scotti said the sordid arrangements gnawed at him, and eventually led him to walk away from Cosby.

“It bothered me. . . . You’ve got all of these kids, every time,” he told The News. “I used to like him, but that’s the reason I quit him after so many years — because of the girls.”

The walls of Scotti’s apartment are covered with photos of the former facilities administrator from his days at NBC — many with Cosby, including one signed 16-inch-by-20-inch framed portrait.

“To truthful Scotty, my friend,” reads the misspelled dedication.
