I wonder if the cast members could sue Bill Cosby for their loss of residual income from the show.
Looking back, Gouchie said her first unusual experience with Cosby occurred when she arrived at his green room at the arena several hours before his first show. She was stressed and exhausted from the extreme heat and for failing in his request that she buy a specific barrette as a gift from him.
“He began fanning me and asked me to repeat over and over the word ‘wonderful.’ It seemed odd . . . but it was Bill Cosby. It was Mr. Cosby taking care of me, cooling me off, calming me down.”
Once Cosby began his show, he called her back on stage and presented her with a barrette, coincidentally with all her favourite colours. He had re-gifted it from a package he had received earlier.
She teared up.
After the first show, the two sat in the green room and Cosby remarked, “She did good,” as he often addressed her in the third person.
Several months later, he invited her to a show in Vancouver.
“He talked about a gourmet dinner, just the two of us, almost romanticizing it a bit. He asked what I wanted to eat. I’m not a fancy person and I said chicken a la king, and he thought it was hilarious. He told me to wear my hair a certain way for dinner, up and loose and wispy. I tried to follow his rules.”
Trusting her intuition from previous life experiences, Gouchie brought several family members with her to Vancouver, and when she went to meet him in his hotel suite, she took her daughter, a professional animator who was in her early 20s.
Offers to join him on the road — but not as an opening act or a personal assistant — followed, first in Seattle and then Hawaii.
She declined both offers, having just started a new job as a youth worker with the Penticton Indian band.
Then one day the calls abruptly ended. The final call, she said, ended quickly when he slammed the phone down.
Cosby, who won three Emmys for his role in the 1960s series I-Spy and became American’s favorite dad in his sitcom The Cosby Show, is now using his condition in a bid to defend himself.
Radar can reveal the condition was mentioned in a 14-page defamation lawsuit he filed against Johnson in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Dec. 21 accusing her of making up the rape case to generate publicity for an autobiography she was promoting.
And in apparent attempt to highlight the comic’s frail condition, the lawsuit accused Johnson of lying in her memoirs about a 2015 encounter with Cosby at an airport where he appeared shocked about seeing her.
The lawsuit claimed: “Mr. Cosby has suffered from a degenerative eye condition for years which has steadily worsened recently to the point that he is for over a year has been legally and functionally blind.”
Not a rape story but maybe grooming and definitely some weirdness in action:

That sounds like a weird pretend sexual experience.
Then the multibillionaire made a huge number out of giving er a very special present from his recycled promotional gifts:
Because women aren't real people you can talk to.
Oh snap.
I'd say Cosby was trying but got mad and frustrated because she didn't make it easy for him.
Bill cosby to be charged with sexual assault.
Prosecutors reopened the case over the summer as damaging testimony was unsealed in Constand's related civil lawsuit against Cosby and as dozens of other women came forward with similar accusations that made a mockery of his image as the wise and understanding Dr. Cliff Huxtable from TV's The Cosby Show.
Cosby has previously said what happened between him and Constand was consensual, but in new court filings last summer Constand said she was in a relationship with a woman at the time. She also called Cosby a "narcissist" who missed cues that she's gay.
"New evidence" ?? What could it be? JMO
