While a judge mulls whether several women may anonymously accuse Bill Cosby in court of drugging and groping them, another alleged victim of the comic has outed herself. Beth Ferrier, a 46-year-old former model, told Thursday’s Philadelphia Daily News that she believes Cosby plied her with spiked coffee and molested her once she zonked out.
“The impact on my life has been monumental,” Ferrier said in the paper. “He made me feel like I’d done something wrong.” Ferrier is one of 13 women who are prepared to go to court to say it is the family-friendly entertainer who has done something wrong.
“I want Bill Cosby to know I’m not afraid of him and that what he did to me was wrong,” Ferrier said in the Daily News. According to the account given to the newspaper, Ferrier alleges she carried on a six-month affair with the married Cosby in 1984, the same year The Cosby Show began its top-rated run. After breaking it off, the two reconnected at a comedy club in Denver, where he was performing.
After a show, she told the Daily News, Cosby gave her coffee. The next thing she knew, Ferrier said, “I was in the back of my car all alone. My clothes were a mess. My bra was undone. My top was untucked.” Ferrier said she didn’t know exactly what had happened until she read another woman’s story of being drugged and groped by Cosby. “I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh! It’s just like what happened to me.'”
