Woman Comes Forward With Shocking Allegation: âI Was Not Raped By Bill Cosbyâ
In a shocking turn of events, area woman Joyce Taylor has broken her silence and proclaimed, âI was not raped by Bill Cosby.âÂ  This news came on the day that two more defendants joined in the growing defamation case against the once beloved entertainer. According to Ms. Taylor, she once met with Mr. Cosby decades ago at a Hollywood night club at the age of 17.Â  As the night progressed, she became increasingly intoxicated before her boyfriend, 18Â year-old Danny Stevens, helped her home where she awoke the next morning alone, with full memory of what had not transpired the night before.Â Â In a sworn statement givenÂ to officials earlier today, Ms. Taylor states, âWhy was I not raped by Mr. Cosby?Â  Was I not pretty enough?Â  Did IÂ do something wrong?Â  I mean I may have been a bit overweight, but I was still rapeable (sic).Â  These are all feelings I have struggled with since that fateful night in 1974.â Bob Murphy,Â the attorneyÂ representing Ms. Taylor, had this to say, âI understand Joyceâs concerns, I mean she was in the right place at the right time, and feels she was entitled to be raped, but in a way, I think we have all been raped by Mr. Cosby.â Since November, at least 15 women have come forward claiming to have been sexually assaulted by Cosby.Â  Cosby, who starred as Dr. Cliff Huxtable on âThe Cosby Showâ from 1984 to 1992, has not been formally charged in connection with any of the allegations and has denied his involvement. Cosbyâs career has unraveled since the allegations began and he has hired an extensive team of Public Relations experts in attempt to save what is left of his reputation going so far as to blame the victims themselves. In the years since the non-incident took place, Joyce Taylor has sought counseling and has been treated for depression. âThe last forty years, my weightâs gone up and down like a yo-yo.âÂ  When âThe Cosby Showâ went off the air in â92 I got things under control, but when he came back with another show four years later, I blew up like a damn balloon.Â  Now heâs in the news again and Iâm fighting the urge to âmake the plate my mate.âÂ  Itâs a struggle,â admitted Taylor, âbut Iâm not going to turn not being raped by Bill Cosby into a negative.â It is presumed there are many moreÂ Joyce Taylorâs, possibly millions,Â out there waiting to tell their story of not being raped by Cosby, however as of press time National Report was unable to find any additional victims.Â  This development only leads to more confusion surrounding the multitude of accusers suggesting that they had in fact been raped by Mr. Cosby. Cosbyâs publicist David Brokaw and lawyer Martin Singer did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
