squeala 875 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 warning for graphic descriptions of s-xual violence http://nymag.tumblr.com/post/125179609945/im-no-longer-afraid-35-women-tell-their Here's a randomly chosen example: Name: Victoria Valentino Age: 73 Occupation: former Playboy bunny, musician, actress, registered nurse Year of Alleged Assault by Bill Cosby: 1969 Valentino was dining with her roommate at their usual joint, Café Figaro, where Cosby happened to be part owner. He knew that Valentino’s 6-year-old son had recently died, and he told Valentino’s friend that he thought she could use some cheering up. Cosby offered to take them to the steam baths and then out. They accepted the invitation and met Cosby for dinner. “I was just sitting there, letting them talk,” Valentino says. “I was sitting there looking glum, not participating.” Cosby reached across the table and put a pill next to Valentino’s wine glass, and he told her to take it. It would make her feel better, he said. She swallowed the pill, and later another one. Cosby also pushed two pills on Valentino’s friend. Valentino began to feel sick and asked to go home. Cosby said he would drive them, but they both ended up back at his apartment. Valentino passed out. When she awoke, she saw her friend passed out on a couch, Cosby above her. “I mean, you could read what was on his mind while he was looking at her,” Valentino says. “He was like a hawk, like a vulture.” Valentino tried to fight him off her friend. Cosby came after Valentino instead. She came forward in 2014. “I could hear the words in my head, but I couldn’t form words with my mouth because I was so d--gged out. I kept reaching for her and he just ignored me. Then he started getting this annoyed look on his face. I kept at it. Finally he got up and came over. He sat down and unzipped his fly and had me give him oral s-x. He stood up, turned me over, did me doggy style, and walked out. Just as he got to the door, I was going, ‘How do we get out of here, how do we get home?’ He said, ‘Call a cab.’” Photo: Amanda Demme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyliesChild 16,907 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 He stood up, turned me over, did me doggy style, and walked out. Just as he got to the door, I was going, ‘How do we get out of here, how do we get home?’ He said, ‘Call a cab.’” im sorry y'all, i couldn't help it Why are they just now reporting this? Because they were scared and a bunch of people who were rape thought that they were to blame. They also refused to believe it happened. It's scary and hard to believe.

Tropico 4,145 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I get this weird sickening feeling in my story just reading that extract in the OP. I don't know how to explain it. I genuinely can't find the right words but I know I can't read the full article or I swear to God I'll literally puke. ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
