Because:

!)She was a 21 year old making her way in the show business community.
2)Cosby was a powerful member of the show business community.

[Jonty30]

I think his latest accuser is almost as rich as he is. She wouldn’t really gain financial by suing him.

[hosepipe]

thats how date rape drugs WORK... AND why their used..

[CaptainK]

She has plenty of money and has already stated she has no plans to go after him for money.

[colorado tanker]

I don't see what she did that was so risky. She didn't think she was going to have sex with the guy. She was 21 and wanted to get into the entertainment industry and this guy was a star with a capital "S."

The riskiest thing she did was accept a pill from a stranger, but in 1969 who would have thought a guy of Cosby's stature would drug girls to have sex with them???

[MNDude]

many of these have passed the statutes of limitations. They know they will never see a cent from him. I think they just want to truth to be known.

[Old Yeller]

what it was, she said he responded, "Don't you trust me?"

Trust me, I'm a doctor.

[Jonty30]

A lot of 21 year old women still have the mindset of naive girls. A surprising number of them would put themselves in stupid situations thinking they guy they were with would not hurt them.

[Jonty30]

Perhaps. He can still be pressured to cut a cheque as accusations keep coming.

It only takes one of these girls to be telling the truth for these accusations to be true.

[Thank You Rush]

I’ve always wondered why I don’t remember anything about or after a colonoscopy......must be this is the drug they use.

[MNDude]

ha, reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld where they have bad suspicions of what happens at the dentist’s office after they are knocked out.

[leapfrog0202]

She seems pretty credible to me... but, why was an attractive, single 21 year old woman “hanging out” with a married man?

Because even then he was famous and powerful in Hollywood. People probably figured he had an open marriage, if they even gave a thought to his wife. Camille, his wife, is just another Hillary. Her payoff is wealth and a fancy lifestyle, Hillary’s was/is her & his political career.

[CaptainK]

There was a Doctor on CNN who named 4 different drugs that were available from the 1960s on that he could have used to achieve the effects that his victims described. He mentioned Seconal, Soma, Chloral hydrate and GHB.

[Jonty30]

There is also the halo effect that prominent people have. We have a tendency to believe that with so much to lose in life would not do things that would not put them at risk.

[Rome2000]

Maybe it would be easier to list the women Bill Cosby hasn't raped.

[leapfrog0202]

Very true Jonty. It’s sad how some people realize they are so powerful in their chosen industry that they know this type of behavior will be swept under the rug and some people will actively help cover it up. Like with Michael Jackson.

[ansel12]

I’m wondering when Cosby found time to do other stuff - you know, like eat, sleep, be on TV, etc..

Weak.

[ansel12]

You’ll have to do better than that to dismiss dozens of claims, two police reports, 15 years, and one out of court settlement so far.

[ansel12]

Weird way to defend him, it is interesting to see the women hating come out on these threads.

[trisham]

I understand, totally not blaming the victim, but at 21 you’re wise enough to know about men...
