She claims to have been sexually assaulted inside a car in Denver back in the 1980s. She also cited drugging before being molested. The story is said to have surfaced in 2005 but lawyers pushed for its withdrawal. In 2006, Andrea settled the case out of court.
Barbara Bowman was an upcoming actress in the 1980. She met the comic who became her mentor. She was assaulted on several occasions in New York City and Reno during the period. This story came to light in December of 2006.
The story hit headlines again in 2014 after Barbara and Tamara had their claims reprinted in Newsweek and Gawker. The media was warming up to Cosby with reruns of his shows, appearance in stand-up comedies and new shows. Netflix was planning a standup appearance on November 28th while NBC was to feature him as a patriarch in an extended family for their new show.
A biography written by a former Newsweek and CNN journalist titled Cosby, His Life and Times, caught the attention of the world for failing to mention the accusations. Whitaker Mark in his defense stated that no confirmation was ever made by an independent witness or in court. This meant that he could not verify any of them and as such he could not include them in his book. Whitaker said that the actor cooperated during production of his biography.
Buress Hannibal in a comedy show in Philadelphia made a comment that went viral online. This reignited the debate which was later fueled by a publication by Daily Mail of the original accusations by Barbara Bowman. Barbara describes the accomplished comedian as a monster. Despite mentioning the topic several times during his shows, Buress claims that it never caught the attention of the world.
The return of the comedian to action has been hampered by these allegations. Several appearances on shows have been cancelled including airing of programs on TV Land, Netflix and NBC. His appearances on the Late Night Show with David Letterman and Queen Latifah Show were also canceled. The old comic has received support from Phylicia Rashad, a one time member of his team and Whoopi Goldberg, a renowned actor, among others.
