Attorney Gloria Allred Proposes Deal for Bill Cosby; Beth Ferrier Says Her Life Ended the Day She Met Bill Cosby
CNN ANCHOR: Another woman who accuses Bill Cosby of rape.</s>BETH FERRIER, ONE OF BILL COSBY`S RAPE ACCUSERS: I believe that Mr. Cosby drugged me and sexually assaulted me that night. For years, I did not tell anyone about what he had done to me, because I was afraid. I felt threatened by him. I did not think anyone would believe me. My life ended the day I met bill Cosby.</s>PINSKY: I am back with Sam, Karamo, Wendy. This is our most tweeted story of the day. That, of course, Bill Cosby accuser, Beth Ferrier, she joined two other women in an emotional press conference with attorney Gloria Allred. Beth and Gloria are with us now. And, Beth, you first -- I just do not want to point out we have been having some little video problems with you, but I look forward to interviewing you. We will hear you perfectly nonetheless. When you say, Beth, your life -- quote, "Life ended the day you met Bill Cosby." What did you mean by that?</s>FERRIER: Absolutely. It was a violent crime that I suffered. I have suffered in silence since 2006. I have suffered in silence since meeting Mr. Cosby because he profiles and profiled me and took such great interest in me that after my father is death from cancer and what not, I could not actually get away from him. And, when you have been molested, drugged, especially with someone who you have been so incredibly close to. You have shared your entire life with for months, years. You have to understand. I was on the set with him. I was there when he interviewed Raven Simone. I was there with Lisa Benet. I was there, I had a relationship with Chuck Brown, the producer of his show, who committed suicide. I was there with Felicia Rashard. I know the whole set. I know the whole scam. I know the whole deal. And, the difference is I was the one who came forward to "National Enquirer" because of this piece -- the "National Enquirer" piece, I actually -- my story in 2005 was squelched. You are seeing that now in court documents. My name is mentioned over and over. There was a gag order. I want it known that I am not going to be filled with shame anymore. It stops here. Camille and Bill Cosby, immediately now, it stops. This is serious. You need listen to me, Beth Ferrier and Gloria Allred. You have to. You have to.</s>PINSKY: And, Beth, I am sorry to interrupt you.</s>FERRIER: Yes, sir.</s>PINSKY: But, you are expressing a feeling, an emotion that we have heard from many of the women who have come forward. I want you to have a chance to respond to your critics who say that you claim you were in a consensual relationship, and yet he drugged you and had to rape you. What do you mean by consensual and how do you make sense of what did he to you?</s>FERRIER: Well, actually, great question, again. How that works is how he works. He takes you on. I met him in New York as a model who came from Colorado. I was living in Chicago at the time. But, I was actually selected by Joe Ferrell, who was my agent, much like -- Let us make a connection here. Barbie Bowman, same thing. I was allowed to go and stay in the model`s apartment with Denise, my booker, and another male model came from L.A. And, we were there to actually support Colorado to have people come to Colorado to see that we were a valid, a great place for great talent, where to come. And, part of that was, I did not to go New York to meet Bill Cosby. A part of that was possibly getting to meet Mr. Cosby and maybe going on the set. You have to understand. I already had my own career with modeling full time. That was a part of that, but I never planned on that. Consensual meaning that I met him on the set. I was in his home with my booker and that she, actually, got drugged. Denise actually got drugged. And, at that time so that he could be alone with me in his home. And, that particular person --</s>PINSKY: Beth, I am going to interrupt you again.</s>FERRIER: Yes, sir.</s>PINSKY: I am sorry to push you like this.</s>FERRIER: That is all right.</s>PINSKY: But, the time is always a crunch. And, I want to give Gloria a chance. Gloria, I want to give you a chance to answer those questions as well.</s>GLORIA ALLRED, CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER: Absolutely.</s>PINSKY: What do you hope to accomplish in court? And, I just heard another allegation that I have not heard that somebody else was drugged in the cross fire. Is that going to come up in court?</s>ALLRED: Well, first of all, we do not know if there is going to be court. That is in the hands of Bill Cosby. We offered him two alternatives, to move this along. The first is, it is very upsetting, of course, to many of the alleged victims that they cannot have their day in court because the statute of limitations, if it is asserted as a defense by Bill Cosby, would mean their case would be dismissed. So, we challenged him to invite all of the alleged victims to sue him and to say that he will not assert the statute of limitations as a defense and therefore the case can proceed in court. And, he can present his arguments about why he should not be liable and all the alleged victims can present their evidence about what they allege occurred, did in fact occur.</s>PINSKY: So, gloria --</s>ALLRED: And, we have not heard from him on that.</s>PINSKY: So, you are saying if indeed this did not happen, have your day in court. We will happily meet you there. His attorney released a statement that reads in part, quote, "These claims about alleged decades old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous and it is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted simple claim." Gloria, I am going to stop with that. I will let you respond to it after the break. And, panel, I am sorry I do not have the chance for you, guys, to ring in either. Hopefully, we will all get a chance to respond to this after the break.
