Bill Cosby, accused by more than 40 women of sexual assault, has filed a lawsuit claiming that several of them lied about him for financial gain.

Mr Cosby, 78, is seeking unspecified monetary damages and said the women inflicted emotional distress.

Cosby is 78, will likely be 80+ before these suits go to trial.

Have to wonder what took them so long to accuse Bill. I am reserving opinion until all the facts are in.

Sue for what? Where’s the damages? He already got what he wanted. Rotten piece of dung.

I still like the fact that he is fighting back. That means he really didn’t do what these hussies are saying. Good for him. Hope he wins. If he did do this he would not be suing them.

Suing some but not all strikes me as an admission of guilt regarding the ones he did not sue.

Well I admit it is a rather large number. I am not saying he didn’t cheat on his wife and even have sex with all 30. I just wonder if all of them woke up the next day........really thinking it was rape. Just not sure about that one.

Racism, pure and simple, if he were a white ex president of the USA, he would not be going thru this, it is all because he is black and the girls were white, and he wasn't president.

The women cannot prove their accusations. Bill Cosby can prove that there is no physical evidence that he committed sexual assault. I think he’s got the women dead in his sights and in an unbiased court of law will be destroyed by Cosby.

So am I, but I have to say there are certainly a number of them standing in line. Not good...

If he did it, it’s a damn shame he skated until now. He belongs in prison.

If he didn’t, they should all be tossed in prison.

...but there’s the sealed transcript that apparently wasn’t so sealed where he admitted to doing as many of the women claim.
