‘I Saved My Friend From Bill Cosby'

[avaistheone1]

Bill Cosby is facing allegations of assault and sexual misconduct by many women. Here, a man recalls rescuing a female friend from the comedian’s New York brownstone in 1984.


Tony Hogue banged furiously on the front door of Bill Cosby’s Upper East Side brownstone. Every so often he shouted out and kicked the door, calling the name of his friend, a 23-year-old woman who he believed was groggy, terrified and possibly trapped inside, too dazed and confused to extricate herself.

“I just started kicking it and pounding it. I made quite a racket. I wanted to get in,” Hogue recalled, describing an incident that he says occurred around midnight in September 1984. Relying on his best recollection of events from thirty years ago, he says it happened about 20 minutes after the woman—designated in 2005 as a witness “Jane Doe 8” in a sexual assault lawsuit against the revered cultural icon—phoned Hogue and pleaded with him to come and save her. (The women didn’t testify—the case was settled before trial.)

“She was crying. She was hysterical. She was whispering,” Hogue recalled in an exclusive interview with the Daily Beast. “She said, ‘Tony, you’ve got to come get me.’ And I said, ‘What are you talking about?’ And she said, ‘Tony, I’ve been in this room, I think on the second floor, and I’ve been here for a long time. I don’t think I’m even in my own clothes. I’m almost numb. I can’t stand up. I can’t see straight. My clothes are all disheveled.’

“And I said, ‘Where’s Cosby?’ And she said, ‘He keeps coming back in here from another room with his cigar breath, trying to kiss me. He’s trying to be on me, trying to do all these things.’ And I said, ‘Why don’t you see if his driver can take you?’ And she said, ‘I don’t even know where he is. I’m afraid to leave this room.’

1. Cosby sounds like one truly sick fuck

[Cali_Democrat]

2. Yep. What a piece of shit

I don't think there's any doubt this sicko drugged women and then raped them.

He could have easily got a lot of women without drugging and raping, but it's obvious he enjoyed raping. He got off on it.

3. Even with 20 women and at least one witness

there are people who will defend Cosby because you know there just isn't enough evidence. I swear you could have it video taped and they would still defend him because he is Cosby. Sick mofos.

4. One person said to me...

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]"But it was so long ago!"

I was waiting and ready for "and he's changed," but even this guy knew better than to try that self-evidently bullshit line with me.

7. And if they allow him to get away with it again, it will only perpetuate his belief

that people are inherently stupid and easy to exploit.

9. Now can someone

convince Whoopi Goldberg that Cosby is a sick Mofo ? Please...

[PragmaticLiberal]

10. Good luck with that.

You're talking about the woman who swears Mel Gibson has no racist tendencies.

11. Impossible

She likes to believe the best of the people she knows.

5. a fux head tried to compare cosby w/clinton in monday's paper.

EXACTLY the same for sure.

6. I've seen that here as well. mind boggling.

8. Have they tied him to Benghazi yet?

They are trying to tie this to Clinton's behavior? Yikes! As far as I know all of Clinton's girlfriends really liked him. That was the problem.

I have been following this story and I have never seen Hollywood just completely drop someone so fast in my life. I think the truth was that everybody knew about this. The women just warned each other to stay away from the guy. He was a huge cash cow at the time and no one wanted to stop the gravy train.

But now Hollywood will not put up with this behavior. It's way too far out of line. Even some of the most controversial Hollywood stars don't come anywhere close to this creepy, pervert stuff.

12. Man this just gets creepier and creepier.

Just like the Jerry Sandusky thing - we've opened a gigantic can of worms, reputations will be tarnished, legacies will be lost - it's the point of no return with Bill Cosby.
