In a new interview with "Entertainment Tonight," former supermodel Janice Dickinson accused iconic comedian Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting her in 1982. Dickinson's claims follow news that several women have come forward with rape allegations against Cosby.

Dickinson narrated that she was talking with Cosby about possibly starring on "The Cosby Show" in the area of Lake Tahoe where he was performing at that time. The now 77-year old comedian was said to have promised Dickinson that he would help her with her singing career.

According to the model, she was having dinner with Cosby then when he gave her a glass of red wine and a pill to alleviate stomach pains that she was having.

Dickinson then shared that the next morning, she found herself not having any pajamas on and, that she remembered that Cosby had sexually assaulted her before she passed out.

"Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning I remember waking up with my pajamas off and there was semen in between my legs," she admitted.

Dickinson shared that she believes that coming public with her story was the right thing to do and, that she believes all the other women who have come forward.

The star, who once wrote on her "No Lifeguard on Duty" memoir that Cosby had asked her back to his room but that she refused and told him she was exhausted, shared that Cosby's lawyers had demanded that her publisher leave out the story about the assault.

In her memoir, Dickinson wrote that Cosby gave her the "dirtiest, meanest look in the world" and shut the door in her face when she turned down his advances.
