Cosby's Testimony Describes Accuser's Spiked Story

MaryClaire Dale, Nov. 27, 2014, NBC New York

Bill Cosby testified under oath in 2005 that he gave the National Enquirer an exclusive interview about looming sexual-assault accusations by a Canadian woman against him in exchange for the tabloid spiking a second accuser's story.

Excerpts released Wednesday of Cosby's deposition from a civil lawsuit filed by Andrea Constand quote Cosby as saying he feared the public would believe her sexual-assault accusations if the Enquirer published similar claims by Beth Ferrier. Both women accused Cosby of drugging and molesting them.

How Bill Cosby Allegedly Silenced His Accusers Through A Tabloid Smear Campaign

Marlow Stern, Nov. 21, 2014, The Daily Beast

Constand claimed that the accusation was patently false, and demanded $150,000 in damages from the tabloid and attorney.

Bill Cosby's Lawyers Strong-Armed Tabloid Into Ditching Story On Rape Claims 

Ed Pilkington, Nov. 21, 2014, The Guardian

The National Enquirer’s investigation was carried out in 2005, just weeks after it first emerged that Cosby had been accused of drugging and molesting a female friend, Andrea Constand. The tabloid magazine dispatched its senior reporter Robin Mizrahi to look into the story.

Mizrahi made contact with a second woman, Beth Ferrier, who alleged that she too had been drugged and sexually molested by the entertainer. The Enquirer brought Ferrier to Los Angeles from her home in Denver, where she was then working as a model, and Mizrahi interviewed her and arranged for her to undergo a lie detector test.
