Bill Cosby refuses to answer any questions about allegations that he raped numerous women over the past few decades.
In very awkward footage that leaked online this week, he even tells a reporter to scuttle footage of him issuing a no comment.
But a lawyer for the legendary comedian has issued a statement in light of three more women - Linda Joy Traitz, Carla Ferrigno and Terese Serignese - recently naming themselves as other victims of Cosby's from far back in the day.
"Linda Joy Traitz is making ridiculous claims and suddenly seems to have a lot to say about a fleeting incident she says happened with my client more than 40 years ago," said Singer. "There was no briefcase of drugs and this is an absurd fabrication."
A few days ago, Traitz wrote on her Facebook page that she worked at a Cosby-owned restaurant in Los Angeles when she was 19 years old.
She claims that Cosby once drove her to a beach… reached into a suitcase… and offered her "pills to relax." She also alleges he became "sexually aggressive" before she pushed him to take her home.
Carla Ferrigno (the wife of actor Lou Ferrigno) told a Los Angeles radio show yesterday that Cosby kissed her "forcefully" while they were playing pool in 1967.
"This continued pattern of attacks on Mr. Cosby has entered the realm of the ridiculous, with a purported 'forceful kiss' at a party in 1967, nearly 50 years ago, being treated as a current 'news story' and grossly mischaracterized as 'sexual assault,' " Singer says.
"This is utter nonsense. People coming out of nowhere with this sort of inane yarn is what happens in a media-driven feeding frenzy."
Finally, Singer touched on claims by a former actress named Louisa Moritz. She told TMZ that Cosby forced her to perform oral sex in her dressing room on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
"We've reached the point of absurdity. The stories are getting more ridiculous," says Singer. "I think people are trying to come up with these wild stories in order to justify why they have waited 40 to 50 years to disclose these ridiculous accusations."
Earlier this week, Singer also shot down allegations by Janice Dickinson, who says Cosby drugged her inside a Lake Tahoe hotel room in 1982.
She told Entertainment Tonight that her last memory of the evening in question is Cosby dropping his robe while leaning over her.
Altogether, over 15 women have now come out and accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault.
NBC has responded by canceling plans to work with Cosby on a new sitcom.
Thanks a lot, Internet users. Now we'll never be able to watch The Cosby Show the same way ever again!
