Bill Cosby Admits To Getting Quaaludes To Drug Alleged Victims: Lawsuit

Bill Cosby, the once-beloved actor submerged in controversy thanks to sexual assault accusations, has reportedly admitted to getting a hold of Quaaludes with the intention of drugging women.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Cosby's admission under oath comes as part of a lawsuit filed by Donna Motsinger, one of his accusers. During a deposition, Cosby allegedly revealed that he had access to the drugs thanks to a friend of his: a gynecologist named Leroy Amar.

Dr. Amar, as per the documents, met with Cosby at the actor's Los Angeles home before 1972. While playing poker, the "disgraced" doctor prescribed the actor Quaaludes, a total of seven times. These were to be used to facilitate Cosby's advances with women. He, however, insisted he never personally used the drugs.

Motsinger alleges that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in 1972. A server at the time, the woman claims Cosby gave her what she believed was aspirin. The pill, however, had unforeseen effects: drowsiness settled, and she eventually lost consciousness. When she woke up, she was only in her panties, the lawsuit says.

Cosby, formerly known as "America's dad," rose to prominence thanks to his role as Cliff Huxtable in the 80s and 90s sitcom, The Cosby Show. However, his reputation was forever tainted after allegations of sexual assault and abuse started to emerge in the early 2000s.

Andrea Constant filed a police report in January 2005, alleging that the actor had drugged and sexually assaulted her at his Pennsylvania mansion. While this didn't lead to criminal charges filed against him initially, more than 60 women have come forward since, accusing him of rape, sexual harassment, and even child sexual abuse.

In 2018, Cosby was found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault. He was sentenced to three to ten years in prison. His conviction, however, was overturned in 2021, as the Pennsylvania Supreme Court determined that his due process rights were violated. Cosby was released the very same day his conviction was overturned, and the court then declined to review the decision.

Four years before his initial conviction, Judy Huth filed a civil suit against Cosby in California. He accused him of sexually assaulting her in 1975. She was 16 at the time. In 2022, a jury ruled in Huth's favor, and Cosby was ordered to pay $500,000 in damages.

A year later, in 2023, nine women, including Motsinger, filed civil lawsuits against Cosby, accusing him of sexual assault. Cosby has denied all allegations raised against him and has tried to get the suits dismissed.
