Dickinson recalls first meeting Cosby when her agent set up a meeting with him to hire her for a role on The Cosby Show.  She says the next time the two met was over dinner where Dickinson claims Cosby gave her a glass of red wine and a pill which she asked for because she was menstruating and had stomach pains.

Dickinson states, “The next morning I woke up and I wasn't wearing my pajamas and I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man…Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember is Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me and I remember a lot of pain.”

Dickinson also says she tried to write about the assault in her 2002 autobiography No Lifeguard On Duty:The Accidental Life of the World's First Supermodel, and claims that when she submitted a draft with her full story to HarperCollins, Cosby and his lawyers pressured her and the publisher to remove the details. 

When asked why she is speaking about the alleged incident over three decades later, Dickinson explains, “I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do, and it happened to me, and this is the true story.”

Prior to Dickinson speaking with ET today, Cosby's lawyer, John P. Schmitt, recently issued a statement: “Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact they are being repeated does not make them true," the statement reads. "Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives.”
