Allie Jones · 12/12/14 10:51AMSupermodel Beverly Johnson Says Bill Cosby Drugged Her at an Audition
Allie Jones · 12/11/14 01:40PMIn a thoughtful, revealing essay for Vanity Fair, Vogue's first black cover girl Beverly Johnson writes that Bill Cosby drugged her at his home while she was auditioning for a small part on The Cosby Show in the mid-1980s. She says that she was hesitant to tell her story before, because "black men have enough enemies out there already, they certainly don't need someone like [me], an African American with a familiar face and a famous name, fanning the flames."
