A former Hollywood executive is the latest woman to come forward and accuse comedian Bill Cosby of sexual assault.
Cindra Ladd, a philanthropist and former entertainment executive who is married to former Fox and MGM/UA chief Alan Ladd Jr., wrote an op-ed that the comedian drugged her and had sex with her when she was 21.
"He was a 32-year-old internationally known comedian and television star, one of the most likable and popular entertainers in the business. He asked for my number and I gave it to him," she wrote.
She said they hung out, went to a movie, watched TV and ate pizza and hot dogs in her apartment with her roommate. Married to his wife Camille, Cosby was the "perfect gentleman," Ladd wrote.
On their way to a movie one night, Ladd wrote that she met Cosby at an apartment belonging to a friend of his. When she told Cosby she had a terrible headache, she said he offered her a capsule. Each time she asked him what it was, she said he responded, "Don't you trust me?"
Ladd wrote that she took the capsule and said to this day she only has vague recollections of that night.
"What I do recall, vividly and clearly, is waking up the next morning nude in the bed of his friend's apartment and seeing Cosby wearing a white terrycloth bathrobe and acting as if there was nothing unusual," she wrote. "It was obvious to me that he had had sex with me. I was horrified, embarrassed and ashamed. There was a mirror above the bed, which shocked me further."
Ladd said it never occurred to her to go to the police. "It was a different time and 'date rape' was a concept that didn't exist," she said.

Yes, because all perfect gentlemen go on dates with other women.
Dogpile!
Hey, don’t leave $ on the table...
The Cos is toast!
I’m wondering when Cosby found time to do other stuff - you know, like eat, sleep, be on TV, etc...
But the Patriots deflated footballs!
She seems pretty credible to me... but, why was an attractive, single 21 year old woman “hanging out” with a married man?
“What I do recall, vividly and clearly, is waking up the next morning nude in the bed of his friend’s apartment and seeing Cosby wearing a white terrycloth bathrobe and acting as if there was nothing unusual,” she wrote.
...
It was nothing unusual -— for Cosby.
With the early accusers I was asking the same question, but now it seems like blaming the victim.
She’s delusional.
And when(if) asked what did Cosby actually do..?.
The answer would have to be.. “I don’t know”....
She would be crazy to make a public complaint..
Actually making a complaint NOW is iffy..
Whats worse than RAPE?.... THIS!..
Cosby should be afraid to go to a bathroom in a restaurant these days....
WHY?.... stuff happens..
I understand, totally not blaming the victim, but at 21 you’re wise enough to know about men, and whether hanging out with married men is a good thing. Under no circumstance should she have been raped, but she should have taken greater care not to put herself in such a risky position.
Personally, as a man, I would not put myself in a position of being alone hanging out with a woman that wasn’t my wife.
There were at least 3 girls in my high school who said the Coz did this to them, and he never even showed up in town!
Man, that dood sho did get around...
I wonder if he slipped them something to cause these headaches
They can smell the money from coast to coast.
Are there any white women that he did NOT rape?
And on that basis she accuses him of rape.
