OUR OWN BILL COSBY EXPERIENCE
It’s a glorious day for women because Bill Cosby is finally being recognized for his crimes. This is a man who felt entitled and above the law, so justice is considerably sweeter. We never for a moment doubted his guilt because we had a first-hand experience with his criminal methods. Back in the 70’s, I was at a Playboy mansion party with a cute college friend named Jacqui who was an aspiring actress. Cosby was at the party and he invited her to his home for a glass of wine. Since we had come to the party together in her Volkswagon, I tagged along, eager to check out the house itself. While Jacqui sipped Cosby’s fancy wines and played a little pool with him, I overheard him asking her to give him a sample of her acting by “pretending to act drunk.” (apparently a well-used line of his) I was casually looking around the large house when I got the awful feeling that Cosby’s wife was asleep there! Horrified, I whispered to Jacqui that we should leave immediately and dragged her out, despite Cosby’s protests. Since the Cosby scandal exploded, I love reminding Jacqui that I saved her from a possibly gruesome fate…
