Bill Cosby has offered startling new testimony regarding his past actions. In a deposition tied to a lawsuit filed by Donna Motsinger, who alleges she was raped by Cosby in the 1970s, he admitted to repeatedly refilling prescriptions for Quaaludes. Cosby said he obtained the drugs with the intention of giving them to women during sexual encounters. However, he insisted he never personally consumed them. His statements deepen the scrutiny surrounding decades-old allegations and raise fresh questions about his conduct.
Cosby revealed that he received quaaludes from Dr. Leroy Amar, a gynecologist, during a poker game at his Los Angeles home prior to 1972. The circumstances have drawn criticism, given the ethical concerns surrounding such a prescription. Dr. Amar, later described as “disgraced,” had his medical license revoked in California in 1979. This further clouds the legitimacy of the prescription. This unusual context highlights the troubling environment in which these events allegedly occurred.
Allegations from Donna Motsinger
Motsinger’s account paints a harrowing picture. In her lawsuit, she claims that Cosby drugged her while she worked at the Trident restaurant in Sausalito, California. She recounts being offered a pill he insisted was an aspirin. She says she became disoriented and drifted in and out of consciousness. She says she awoke at her residence partially clothed, an experience central to her legal claims.
Cosby is seeking to dismiss Motsinger’s lawsuit, but she remains determined to see her case through. Court documents indicate the quaaludes involved were round and white, details that reinforce her account. As the proceedings move forward, both sides are preparing to present their evidence and arguments. The spotlight is on how the court will navigate decades-old allegations.
