charges. years later, castor explains his decision, waiting a year to go to authorities, heard her case against cosby. >> because of the delay, i couldn't check her blood to see if there was any me tab lites of the drug so it made the case difficult. >> reporter: in 2005, cosby spoke out about the allegations for the first time. telling the national inquirer, i am not going to give in to people who try to exploit me because of my celebrity status. soon after, comes a response with a civil suit, alleging battery, assault, and defamation of her character. cosby settle out of court for undisclosed sum the following year and in 2005, ta mar ra green with a similar story. cnn has a sworn deposition part of the civil suit brought by former temple employee andrea constan. the inquirer suppressed another

woman's story at his request. cosby was asked, what is your understanding of the agreement that you had with the national enquirer concerning your exclusive interview? i would give them an exclusive story, my words. what would they give you in return? they would not print the story, print best story. accuser beth harier said her story was dropped after cosby issued his one and only interview on the constant and tomorrow green accusations while not commenting on ferrier's story, american media which publishes the national enquirer tells cnn the national enquirer, more than any other publication was unflinching in our aggressive coverage of allegations against mr. cosby beginning in 2000 when everyone else avoided the story. in fall 2014, accusers continue to come forward. some like janice dickinson sharing graphic details.

welcome back. welcome to cnn special the cosby show a legend under fire. today in los angeles, a model named chloe goines came forward accusing cosby of assaulting and drugging her at the playboy mansion six years ago. she filed an official complaint with the los angeles police department claiming she passed out after cosby gave her a drink and we should warn you that this next part is really graphic. the report says that her reporter claims chloe goines woke up and she was naked in bed next to him. cosby was licking her toes while touching himself. and meanwhile, there are more women coming forward alleging they were assaulted by the comic

legend. i'm joined by glr ya allred, representing three women claiming abuse. good evening to all of you. >> good evening, don. >> good evening. >> good evening. >> beth, you started out in a consensual relationship. he gave you a coffee and that's the last memory you had. >> in 1996, he came to denver, colorado, to do a show and in fact, had called off the relationship because of his, he had become incredibly aggressive with me and was constantly wanting to know where i was. wanting to know everything about me. and so i finally agreed to meet with him because i am from denver, colorado, and that's where he would come often to do

his shows. i agree to come to a new defunct show there. actually drove myself there, don. myself. because i wanted to be able to come and go if i needed to. and unfortunately, that's the evening that he offered me a coffee and we were going to be having supper before the show. and never made supper. never made anything. >> you said after i drank it, i felt dizzy and lost consciousness and the next thing i knew, hours passed and i woke up in the back of my car alone. >> all alone in the back of my bmw, my car. the show was obviously done. it was dark. there was no one around. and my clothes were off. i was sick to my stomach. i was -- i felt like something horrible had happened to me and you have to understand, at that time, no one was talking about

being drugged and drugging. i didn't think anything would have happened having a cappuccino which he often prepared for me. so to have that happen, you're caught off guard, and suddenly, you're left alone and you're questioning yourself again. as a woman. what did i do wrong? what was that about? and to me, them having to climb out of the car and try to, because i was too ill to even drive. so then, to have to crawl upstairs and try to find the security guards or two security guards who were obviously aware of where i was because they actually drove my car with me home in the back of my car and then another gentleman followed. >> and they helped you home. >> they did help me home. >> this is all very emotional to all of you. and shalan, i want to go to you. you were a 17-year-old aspiring model working in a hotel.

>> yes, i was 17. i was 17 years old. about ten days before my 18th birthday. >> and he was going to help you with an aspiring modelling year wi career. >> he said it was an anti-histamine. he gave it to me and i took it. with a shot of amaretto. he started rubbing on me. someone came in and took some pictures of myself and someone else came in and said they had like a stress therapist and he had me go, uh-huh. he kept saying, are you okay? are you okay? but i was kind of groggy. he gave me something else to

drink. and escorted me down the hallway and i believe that's the same room that lisa talks about because it was in the las vegas hilton at the elvis perez lee suite. >> and that's where you believe -- >> i woke up 13 to 16 hours later. i remember him pinching my breast. pinching my breast, grunting, grunting, there was a grunt like a wild pig. but i could not move. i couldn't respond. i remember feeling something warm in the side of my leg and when i woke up, i just had the hilton hotel room request with clothes but before that, i had on clothes. >> he offered you money, gave you $1500 to buy you something nice? >> he had it on the table already. >> so i want to go to helen now.

you say that bill cosby followed you and some friends around while you were at celebrity tennis tournament back in 1973 and track you down at a restaurant and i believe you said you tried to avoid him. you changed your reservations to several different restaurants but he caught up with you. >> right. we did. we went into different bars and different restaurants. we saw him all day saturday. we thought it was more like stalking us and we kind of laughed but we felt very safe because it was daytime. but then at night when we decided to go to dinner, it was three of us. we never left each other's side at all. but we went in and out of restaurants and bars and finally found us in one restaurant and he came up behind me and rubbed his body against my back and then he put his right hand over my shoulder and grabbed a hold of my right breast.

i think in those days, it was called groping in 1973. today, it's called sexual battery. it was at the clint east wood celebrity -- but absolutely. i looked at him and said, what do you think you're doing? why do you think you have the right to do that to me and he just looked at all three of us and said, well, have a nice dinner. and he walked out. >> i have to ask gloria this. gloria, what do you want to see happen now? you were asking that he, what, waive his rights, the statute of limitations so these women can have these day in court? >> absolutely. i asked him to agree not to assert the defense of statute of limitations, in other words, if they sued him, it would be time-barred and unless he agreed, of course, those cases would be dismissed. there would be no point in filing them in the first place. i have been in touch with

attorneys. he has not accepted my offer which he could have but he has not. he would apparently like to fight this out in the public of public opinion. with lawsuits which have been filed, he'll have to be in court but that's what he wants to do. he's going to perform this in denver. i'll do a speakout and invite people to meet me at the crawford hotel. they have to rsvp in advance but then we'll talk about bill cosby and what the allegations are against him, what his reaction has been and the impact on the alleged victims because women matter and rape is not a joke. we didn't find his last joke in canada to be funny. so we're going to protest, also outside of the booul theater in denver at 5:00 following our teach-in speak-out. >> chelan, why are you crying?

>> because it's not a joke. i'm so angry. i'm angry for saying we're liars and angry at him but i've taken a stand and accepted what he changed and what he did to all of us. it changed my whole life and i got a piece of it back and the only thing i have left is i want to see you in the court of law. i want to see you in the court of law and see you eye to eye. i want him to be the man he was when he took away my youth, and the woman i am now and ready to take him on. >> chelan, chelan, beth, kelyn, sorry about the delay in the cross talk. but thank you so much. >> god bless you. >> rashad did not say the women were lying but said the legacy is what matters and that not the

women, essentially. so i just want to say, women do matter, we care about first the victims. >> thank you very much, all of you. thank you. next, beverly johnson and what she said bill cosby allegedly did to her back in the '80s. and five women accuse bill cosby of assault. >> it was very powerful. it came on quickly. i was just looking at him and i just asked him the question that you are a mess, aren't you? >> how many of you were lured by bill cosby giving you a pill of some sort? >> drug. allegedly. all of you. well somewhere along the way, emily went right on living. but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial advisor, she had planned for every eventuality. ...which meant she continued to have the means to live on... ...even at the ripe old age of 187.

life well planned. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you.

welcome back. i'm don lemon. this is our cnn special the

cosby show a legend under fire. again and again women come forward telling the same shocking stories about bill cosby and the best known is beverly johnson. first african-american model to appear on the cover of american vogue in 1974. she told her story to cnn's kyra phillips and claimed she was drugged but avoided sexual assault. kyra phillips joining me now. you got an interview but because of the high profile -- >> it was a game changer when she talked. i've known beverly for a number of years. we're involved with the global down syndrome group and when she told me she decided to go with vanity fair and this story, and i said, give me a favor. do the first live interview on cnn and it was explosive and added a different level of credibility to this story. we decided to go deeper in her background, her life and

allegations. this is just a portion of that special that we did. >> reporter: beauty is a fickle business and models have just a short time at the top. >> i didn't know what i was going to do after modelling, which was supposed to have been a four or five year career. so i just decided to try everything. >> reporter: for beverly johnson, auditioning for the highly rated cosby show could open up possibilities. >> there wasn't a bigger figure in entertainment, in the entertainment industry than bill cosby. >> reporter: but she didn't get a role. the audition ended with a traumatic event. >> i knew that i had been drugged and i knew i had been drugged by bill cosby. >> reporter: it was a secret she kept for decades fearing repercussions. >> there is this powerful man in

the industry that i would like to be a part of and i didn't think i had a chance of winning. >> reporter: but that would change as more than a dozen women went public this fall, giving johnson the courage to come forward. tell me about that moment when you said, all right. i'm going to do it. i am going to let the secret be revealed. >> when all of this happened, all the women coming forward and how brave they are, i had to speak up. i just had to. but i vacillated. i'm going to do it, i'm not going to do it. i'm going to do it, i'm not going to do it. i realized, what a hypocrite i would be if i didn't say something. >> reporter: so she wrote a first person account for vanity fair. bill cosby drugged me. for a long time, i thought it was something that only happened to me, and that i was somehow responsible. so i kept my secret to myself, believing this truth needed to

remain in the darkness. johnson also spoke at length on cnn's new day. >> he needed to know that as women, we weren't just going to stand by and let him get away with what he thought he was going to get away with. >> reporter: she recounted cosby inviting her to his manhattan brown stone for an audition. the role of a patient of the lovable obstetrician dr. cliff huxtable. >> my office. >> what do you do? >> i'm a doctor for women. >> reporter: she said before they rehearsed, cosby insisted she drink a cappuccino from his fancy espresso machine. >> it was very powerful. it came on very quickly. the room started to spin. my speech was slurred. and he placed his hands on my

waist. at that point, i knew he had drugged me. and i was just looking at him and i just asked him the question that you are an mf, aren't you? >> reporter: she said it went no further. but bill cosby drug her to the street and sent her home in a cab. the voice kept whispering, black men have enough enemies already. they certainly don't need me, fanning the flames. >> it was very difficult for me to come to the point where i wanted to speak out. >> reporter: what's the one thing you'll always remember from that moment when you say he drugged you? what's the one thing you'll never forget? >> i think it would be someone

taking your power, because you're powerless. i don't want to see anything happen to bill cosby. what i want to see happen is that women come out and speak their truth. >> very powerful. very powerful. we have not gotten a public response from bill cosby's attorneys even though cnn lawyers have been in communication with him. kyra, powerful story. some of the women i interviewed said the same story, they felt they were free now to be able to come forward and tell their truths. >> yes, speak their truth. isn't that powerful? we mention that we haven't heard from bill cosby directly. he has declined numerous requests to come on this show, other shows to speak to these charges. it seems that the strategy with his team is spending time and money trying to discredit the accusers and smearing the media, including cnn and actually when we were, you know, working on this beverly johnson special, we received a letter from cosby's attorney attacking our

reporting, demanding we speak to two individuals he said would defend bill cosby against beverly johnson's accusation and of course, i did that. i spoke to them. neither had any specific knowledge about beverly johnson's claims nor knew her at the time of the alleged incident when it occurred and what's more, they both had criminal pasts, these two men. one spent time in prison in connection with a robbery of former client and one threatened to choke beverly johnson to death, which led us to question their credibility and that's why we didn't feel like they belonged in our special. >> beyond that. let's talk about -- you and i work together and we have the same pop references. beverly johnson and bill cosby were part of our youth. it's unbelievable to see this going on. >> you and i have talked so much about breaking barriers and our heroes in life and how important diversity is. and just thinking back at that

quote when beverly said, i was afraid to come out even now because there's a powerful black man and this is -- >> the last thing he needed. >> right. my gosh, it's like we need to come so much further in this. >> we've gone far but -- >> we've got a long way to go. for women's rights and that's what beverly is hoping to do is really be a game changer where women feel more comfortable to speak their truth. >> great to see you. thank you, kyra. thank you very much. we've got a lot more to come. thank you, next, five women who come face to face to tell their stories. what they allegedly did to them and how they say it changed their lives. >> we've suffered hundreds collectively, hundreds of years of horrible intestinal, emotional strife because of what this man put all of us through and the hundreds that haven't come forward.

what they say bill cosby did to them. for the first time, a group of those women. they are right here right now face to face sharing their stories. you can see my colleague, allison caldarada. barbara bowman. patty mastin, pj. we didn't put the monitors on, right, allison? i would expect the reaction when we put the pictures of him up. >> revulsion. really. >> you never try to see bill cosby's pictures. >> i just shut down my peripheral vision. >> you can't look at him, can you, barbara. >> we were comparing which pictur pictur pictures sparks that scratchy awful feeling. >> which one does? >> for me? that one. >> why?

>> because that was the face that i saw and that was the age. >> saw the young one over there. >> 44 years. when his picture went across the screen, in a magazine or newspaper or i heard his name mentioned. i had to walk away. change the channel. >> i couldn't watch the cosby show. >> it makes my stomach twist. it makes my sick to my stomach to look at him. he's pretty much probably the world's greatest actor because he fooled a lot of people. fooled a lot of people. >> you came forward first. are you surprised at the basic tidal wave that, i mean, more than a dozen women followed you?

>> yeah. more. and more to come. >> you think so? >> oh, yes. >> i want to ask, what makes you think there are other women? >> yeah, after they came out, i started getting all of these private messages from people on facebook coming out to me, p.j. was one of them. >> because you both shared the playboy bunny connection? >> yes. >> did he know that? >> no. huh-uh. >> i told immediate boss. her reply, do you realize this is hefner's best friend? nobody's beginning to believe you. shut your mouth. that's what i was told by corporate. to keep my mouth closed. >> and so many of you did for quite a long time. allison and i want to ask you guys something. a show of hands. put your hands up if this is a true story. do you mind if i start? >> go ahead.

>> how many were alured by the promise of work, that it would help your career? >> three of you said it would help your career. >> well, he didn't promise to help my career but my girlfriend, one of the oranigin chocolate bunnies introduced me because my son had just died and i was beginning to run out of money and i'm an actor and she said, maybe he can get you a job. he played the playboy club circuit, so she set up an appointment with him on his trailer on the lot. and she said, take a picture of your little boy. you know. and she was actually his godmother. >> how many of you were drugged? allegedly. all of you. and that seems to have been from the women we've spoken to, his m.o. there are allegations that he would drug women. >> yeah. >> who of you remembers being

drugged? tell me. >> well, i remember both times. i remember having one bloody mary topped with beer, as i've said, call it a red eye. and i woke up i don't know how long later with him taking off my clothes and you don't pass out from one small drink. >> how many of you, you said you can't look at him. you don't watch the cosby show. do you think about it everyday? >> i tell you what it is though, don. it's like a subliminal soundtrack. i don't think about my son dying 44 years ago everyday but it's always there understood beneath the surface. >> hugh hefner issued a statement last month reading bill cosby has been a good friend for many years and the mere thought of these allegations is truly saddening. i would never tolerate this kind of behavior, regardless of who was involved. when we come back, more with the women who are accusing bill cosby.

welcome back to the special here sh here, and it is the "cosby show, a legend under fire" and we have five women speaking out against bill cosby and what they say happened to him. >> and p.j., after all of this time, you say that there is one case that made you want to come forward now. >> when i i heard about this young girl of a 15-year-old girl being drugged and raped by him in heffner's mansion, all bets were off for me. that is a child. that was a little girl. as far as i'm concerned, i'm done. >> through his attorney, bill cosby refutes that story, and he says that she is trying to extort money from him. >> and he has refuted every single story that hassle come

out, and it is not a surprise to any one of us here. >> and how many of you with a show of hands have tried to get money out of bill cosby? none of you. and how many of you would take money from bill cosby? >> interesting. >> people claim they are in it for money and they have never tried to get it from him. >> well, he gave me $20 to call me a cab and gave me $20 for the c cab. >> to e e m it would be a form of contempt from him. >> and this is not about sex but power. >> yes, he is a predator. he goes after women, and he is not a man. if you have to drug a woman to have sex with her, a that is not even a man. he is a dowward. he is a despicable coward. >> he is a serial rapist. >> he has the same m.o. with all of us. he identifies a vulnerable

victim, and then gets them alone and lures them into a place where sometimes people are in proximity, and he then drugs them. he does his thing with them. with them. and then sometimes he waits for them to wake up so that he can heap yet more contempt. >> he he still has supporters. >> that is a good point, don, because the man could not be acting alone. and what i mean by that is that the man has power and wealth and fame and he has many people in impenetrable circles of people who are protecting him that the has created this hermetically sealed bubble of protection. >> what about his wife? >> well, they settled out of court when they settled out of court, she must have known something was going on.
