If Bill Cosby thought he was about to rest at home and let bi-gones be by-gones, he has another thing coming.
NBC Reports: Five women, including two actors who appeared on “The Cosby Show,” filed a lawsuit in New York on Monday, accusing disgraced comedy legend Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting them.
The plaintiffs named the actor, Kaufman Astoria Studios Inc., The Carsey-Werner Company and NBCUniversal Media as defendants in the 34-page lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
“The Cosby Show,” which ran from 1984 to 1992 on NBC, was filmed at studios now controlled by Kaufman Astoria and produced by Carsey-Werner, according to the civil action.
All the defendants are “culpable and liable because they knew and/or should have known that Bill Cosby was sexually abusing, assaulting, and/or battering women, including on their premises, but did nothing to stop it,” according to the complaint.
NBC News does not typically identify victims of sexual assault, but the five women in this civil action all named themselves in the complaint.
The lawsuit did not name a dollar figure sought by the plaintiffs.
Cosby’s spokesman Andrew Wyatt called the civil action “frivolous” and accused plaintiffs of seeking a payout.
