Although the comedian once denied the allegations from the first few women that came out to reveal the comedian’s unbelievable act, it is however turning out to be true. Most of these women were young ladies who taught they could nurture their career as actress, using Cosby as role models. Apparently, they got what they didn’t bargain for.

The media has over time been unable to count these women as new stories come from new women everyday about how Cosby took advantage of them by molesting them sexually. However,  thirty-five of Bill Cosby’s alleged sexual molestation victims have posed for a photograph on the front of the July 27 edition of New York magazine, giving their accounts of what happened to them at the hands of the now controversial “Cosby Show” star.

The 35 women assaulted by the comedian

Coming into the light for the first time together, the publication lines the 35 women up on chairs in a visually shocking front cover snap, and displays interviews with the women in question within the pages of the magazine.

Noreen Malone told the magazine saying: “The group of women Cosby allegedly assaulted functions almost as a longitudinal study – both for how an individual woman, on her own, deals with such trauma over the decades and for how the culture at large has grappled with rape over the same time period. In the ’60s, when the first alleged assault by Cosby occurred, rape was considered to be something violent committed by a stranger … But among younger women, and particularly online, there is a strong sense now that speaking up is the only thing to do, that a woman claiming her own victimhood is more powerful than any other weapon in the fight against rape.”

The alleged victims ranging in age from their early 20s to 80, include women who were Playboy bunnies, TV writers, journalists and waitresses.

“I went into this thinking he was going to be my father. To wake up half-dressed and raped by the man that said he was going to love me like a father? That’s pretty sick,” one of the women, Barbara Bowman, 48, said of her experiences with Cosby in the ’80s. “I felt like a prisoner; I felt I was kidnapped and hiding in plain sight. I could have walked down any street of Manhattan at any time and said, ‘I’m being raped and drugged by Bill Cosby,’ but who the hell would have believed me? Nobody, nobody.”

Another victim, who is Cosby Show writer Sammie Mays, 57, claims an encounter with Cosby in 1987 derailed her life. “When I see Jell-O pudding, it comes flooding back,” she told the magazine. “Bill Cosby, that encounter, that one time, played a major factor in the direction my life took, toward the dark side.”

The publication is available for purchase, and there are video interviews with the women on the magazine’s website.

It would be recalled that Super model Janice Dickinson narrated how she had been allegedly sexually assaulted by the famous comedian, actor and activist Bill Cosbyin 1982.
