Another woman came out to accuse Bill Cosby of sexual assault.
Following a slew of his alleged victims who exposed his act, this time model and TV host Janice Dickinson came out to share her harrowing experience with the comic actor.
Bill Cosby, though, has remained quiet despite the barrage of accusations against him.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dickinson said that Cosby had sexually assaulted him in 1982 in Lake Tahoe, California, where he had a gig.
Dickinson also revealed that she had included this incident in her 2002 autobiography, No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World's First Supermodel although legal pressures from Cosby and his lawyers forced her and her publisher to eliminate details.
Cosby's publicist failed to comment on the issue.
Dickinson told ET that Cosby urged her to meet him in Lake Tahoe with the promise that he would help her advance her singing career.
Dickinson had earlier met with Cosby after her agent introduced her to him.
Dickinson had initially hoped to land a role in The Cosby Show, his long-running TV series.
Dickinson detailed what happened in Lake Tahoe.
She said she and Cosby were inside her hotel room when he gave her some red wine and a pill. She admitted to have asked Cosby for a pill because she was suffering from stomach ache, only to wake up the following morning that she "had been sexually assaulted by this man," she said.
She had vivid recollections of Cosby taking off her robe and getting on top of her.
She had not yet confronted Cosby about what happened.
Asked why she decided to come up, she believed it was the right thing to do.
"I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do and this happened to me and this is a true story," she said.
To date, Cosby has not yet issued any statement to counter the claims against him. His lawyer, though, said that his client would not waste his attention on "decade-old, discredited" claims of sexual abuse.
