Key Takeaway
Bill Cosby is facing legal action from Donna Motsinger, who alleges that he drugged and raped her over 50 years ago. The lawsuit details the alleged incident that took place at the Trident restaurant, where Motsinger worked as a server. She claims Cosby invited her to his show and, during the drive, offered her a glass of wine and what she believed to be an aspirin. Motsinger woke up in her home, believing she had been drugged and raped. Seeking justice, Motsinger has filed a lawsuit against Cosby, seeking compensation for the physical, mental, and emotional distress she has endured.
Meeting at the Trident
According to the lawsuit, Motsinger met Cosby at the bayside restaurant, which was a popular spot for celebrities at the time. She claims that Cosby frequented the restaurant just to see her and eventually invited her to accompany him to his show at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos.
Allegations of Drugging and Rape
Motsinger alleges that during the drive to the theater, Cosby gave her a glass of wine. Upon arriving at the dressing room, she began to feel sick, and Cosby offered her what she believed to be an aspirin. After taking the pill, Motsinger claims to have experienced periods of consciousness and unconsciousness. She recalls being put back in the limo with Cosby’s handlers, and the last thing she remembers is flashes of light.
Upon waking up in her own home, Motsinger states that she was wearing only her panties and had a strong belief that she had been drugged and raped by Bill Cosby. The alleged incident has caused her significant mental, physical, and emotional distress.
Seeking Justice
This is not the first time Motsinger has come forward with accusations against Cosby. In 2014, she made similar claims, and now she has followed up with a lawsuit seeking compensation for the damages she has suffered.
As of now, Cosby’s representative has declined to comment on the matter. However, Motsinger is determined to pursue legal action in the hopes of holding Cosby accountable for his alleged actions.
