Bill Cosby Defamation Lawsuits Settled Without His Consent
Seven women who’ve accused Bill Cosby of sexual misconduct have settled the defamation lawsuits they brought against the comedian. According to the paperwork filed in a Massachusetts Federal Court:
“Plaintiffs’ claims against Defendant William H. Cosby, Jr. have been settled. Each Plaintiff is satisfied with the settlement. Contemporaneously with this Report, Plaintiffs are filing a Motion for Entry of Order Dismissing Claims as Settled.”
But according to a Cosby spokesperson, the infamous comedian had no knowledge about the settlements and is still pursuing his countersuits against his accusers.
“Mr. Cosby did not settle any cases with anyone. He is not paying anything to anyone, and he is still pursuing his counterclaims. AIG decided to settle these cases, without the knowledge, permission and/or consent of Mr. Cosby. Mr. Cosby vehemently denies the allegations brought against him in these defamation suits and he maintains his innocence. #FarFromFinished #FreeBillCosby #BillCosbyDenied Settlement #AIGSettlesWithoutBillCosbyConsent #BillCosbyWillNotPayADime”
Despite the settlements, Mr. Cosby is still currently serving his three to ten year sentence in a Pennsylvania correctional facility, after being found guilty on three counts of aggravated indecent assault in April 2018.
