1:36 pm
i had revulsion towards cosby. cosby was a very powerful man and probably still is. i trusted this man and i stuffed it. i compartmentalized it because i was embarrassed. i was -- i was it wasn't until it came out recently that other women told the same story that had happened to me that i believed these women. >> you were 27 and he was roughly about 45 years old at the time? >> i don't remember how oldthat monster was at the time. i remember i was innocent and very excited to get a call that i was going to be, you know, offered this job on the cosby show. i went for it. he was a married man. he wouldn't do anything to me. >> when bill cosby did reach out to you in 1992, what was the
1:37 pm
conversation? what was the pick cher he painted for you that you said he's the connection i need for it to go further? what was promised? what did you believe would happen? >> i believed the tone of his voice? how are you? i am going to offer you a part on the cosby show. i want you to fly here and get here, you know in the next day or two. i took the bait. >> you were excited? >> i was rearing and ready to go. he said i hear you want a singing career. i can help you with that. i was met by bill and a ja man who worked for him, he was his musical director.
1:38 pm
i remember him saying to me at this dinner when he offered me red wine. what kind of man offers me red wine when i get out of rehab. >> he knew about your situation and how potentially fragile you were at the time? >> he called me in rehab. he knew what i was in rehab for, for alcohol. that in zits is really messed up. >> at what point did you find yourself alone with mr. cosby? you custed him but things went a different direction? >> i was alone with him and i had menstrual cramps. he said oh, i have got something for that and he gave me a pill. >> did you ask what it was? >> i don't remember that. i don't remember. but he's giving me a pill.
1:39 pm
i trust the guy. i trusted bill cosby. >> why did you feel like you trusted him? >> because of his demeanor and the promise of a career i trusted him. i wanted a television career. i had had a successful career for commercials and i wanted to take it to the next level. >> you are telling me you were in rehab. you were still very fragile. he offered you wine. that was a no no and now he offers you a pill and you still trust him? >> it was red wine. it was a bill. when i started to black out i had a polaroid camera on me. that's when i took several photographs with it. i remember shooting the pictures and having them on me the next morning. i blacked out and cosby mounting
1:40 pm
me like the monster that he was and i was thinking what the heck was that? i remember more specifically waking up and that he there was a lot of pain downstairs. there was semen all over me and my bottoms were audiotape and the tops were open. i just packed up and i got the hell out of there. >> what was going through your mind at that point when he came to you and you had this discovery? what were you thinking and feeling at that moment? >> i remember being extreme ly angry that i had been violated. i remember feeling disgusted at him but more importantly i was
1:41 pm
disgusted at myself. i should have gone and reported it to the nevada police. you know, but i wasn't thinking. i was only thinking of stuffing it inside an area so deep in my subconscious that it is now coming up and i am soaper today through the grace of god and i have crystal clear memories of the entire incident and this rape. i'm not out to get him. i'm out to tell my side of the story so i can protect any woman in the world against this monster bill cosby and against anything or that could rob innocence like mine has been taken away from me. >> how do you prove that when it's your word against his? >> i should have gone the police. i was too embarrassed and disgusted. can i prove it? i can't produce a stain on my
1:42 pm
pajamas and i can't produce the semen that was there. i didn't go in for an examination of my womanhood down there. i didn't rape counseling or any of that. had i known i would have. look how it's blowing up now on me. i am not lying. you were not there. i can prove it. put a lie detector test on me and put a lie detector test on the attorneys and put a lie detector test on mr. bill monster cosby. >> how much has hearing from the other women who alleged sexual assault by bill cosby how much has that assisted you? how much does that also help you in recalling in detail what happened to you in 1982?
1:43 pm
>> i remember the memory and being robbed of my innocence and i believe the women that i have not been in contact with. i believe their story because it was the exact same thing ha happened to me. as an individual woman, i am the world's first super model and this took place in 1982 and it took place in a hotel room in lake tahoe and he was wearing a bathrobe and a velvet hat and a gold watch. i didn't do the right thing. i didn't report it or go to rape counseling and you know what? i was afraid. but i'm not afraid any more. i'm now strong and i have support and i will go on with my story until my last breath.
1:44 pm
>> whone of the most recent accusers -- >> i don't like that word. >> why is that? >> i am not an accuser. why am i the bad person that got raped? >> if he chooses to speak on his own and he has after an appearance and i do have a portion of what he said. he said i know people are tired of me not saying anything but a guy doesn't have to answer to inknew when does. >> people? screw you, bill. you know damn well that he's not going to take any responsibility on this and neither are his attorneys. he says innuendo, i say rape.
1:45 pm
>> what does bill cosby need to do? >> know know as well as i know that they will not take responsibility. they say i'm a liar. i would love for him to come out and acknowledge that he is a big and has raped me. >> thank you. >> i'm sorry. >> don't apologize. you know. >> i don't know how to process this. i do not know how to process these emotions, you know?
1:46 pm
i'm going to meditate and go to church. this has affected me. >> and we did ask for permission if it was okay to continue airing that portion of the interview and she did say it was all right. in the meantime a lawyer for bill cosby responded to the claims. her story is a lie. there is a glaring contradiction between what she is claiming now and what she wrote in her own book and what she told the media back in 2002. she did an interview with the new york observer entitled interview with a vamp contra diktding her story about ms. cosby. i did speak with dickonson's ghost writer and he began working with dick inson in 2001 on her book no life guard on
1:47 pm
duty and dickinson did give him graphic detail but he never included it in a written draft to the publisher because he said without corroboration from cosby, he knew the allegation would never have made it through the vetting process and make it in the book. don't miss the special, cosby show, a legend under fire. we will be right back. i've had surgery, and yes, i have occasional constipation. that's why i take doctor recommended colace capsules.

1:48 pm
for effective relief from occasional constipation. not to be focusing, again, on my moderate my goal was to finally get in shape. to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. so i finally made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira. humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance on humira. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb.

tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. set a new goal today. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible. ensure active heart health. i maximize good stuff, like my potassium and phytosterols which may help lower cholesterol. new ensure active heart health supports your heart and body so you stay active and strong. ensure, take life in.

1:52 pm
the fbi has got crime scene tape. i hung up the phone and went down as fast as i could. 30 system people or whatever. it was insane. i didn't think about it. i just went to the specimen. i could see the idiots try to pack up my dinosaur. how dare they, how dare these people do this. >> i can't imagine somebody being able to do this here in the united states of america. in a free country. >> in order to insure that this dinosaur can be carefully packed up, we helped. >> it was pretty clear that they didn't know what they were doing. these people didn't know anything. most of these guys hardly go out in the field at all. >> i said to kevin, you just
1:53 pm
tell me and that fossil won't go anywhere. >> that request was denied. >> wow. can you feel the tension there? you wrote dozens of stories about this but this does undersco underscore. >> it turned out to be a real. >> we are talking about the discovery of this t-rex and while the pail yentologist thought great. let's collect it,remove it and take it elsewhere. it's federally enforced land, native american land and they
1:54 pm
negotiated with the landowner but then that was done illegally? >> the fossil was sold for $5,000. what the federal prosecutor determined was that morris williams did not have the right to sell. >> and that was the landowner? the souix tribe? >> the indian owner of the land did not have the right to sell his land unless he had permission from the department of interior. >> which he did not for the $5,000. >> he did not have permission to sell his own land. the other part is they ruled the fossil was land rather than personal property. >> interesting. because it had mineralized and the thought and feeling was because of that, it was indeed a
1:55 pm
fossil. but the other thought is no, it's real estate. >> nobody really knew how good it was. the question arises if they had taken the bottle outside of the ground, would have it have been personal property? that is the weird legal facet of this that nobody anticipated. >> and the legal battle is what is so fascinating about this documentary. ultimately, that landowner did receive more than $7 million. in that factor the legal bottle was resolved. >> and a half was decided, the investigate of the black hills
1:56 pm
institute continued and later there was a massive criminal indictment which turned out to be the largest criminal prosecution in the history of the state of south dakota. >> incredible. >> that's going to do it for me. thanks so much for being with me. much more news and everything else in the newsroom straight else in the newsroom straight ahead. hey matt, what's up?
