Yesterday, a defamation lawsuit filed by one of his many accusers was dismissed by a Judge in Pennsylvania, marking his third win in court this year. The suit was filed by a woman named Renita Hill who accused the 78-year-old comedian of defaming her when he and his lawyers responded to allegations that he drugged and sexually assaulted her and other women.
The suit was dismissed without prejudice which means Ms. Hill cannot try to amend it or re-file it again.
Earlier this month, the once loved comedian had two sexual assault charges against him rejected.
Bill Cosby’s lawyer made a statement after the hearing, addressing recent claims of sexual assault by some women: ”The never-before-heard claims from women who have come forward in the past two weeks with unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40, or even 50 years ago have escalated far past the point of absurdity.” he said.
Bill Cosby is still facing a litany of lawsuits, ranging from defamation to sexual assault, with several women who have publicly accused the actor of sexual assault.
