Bill Cosby has filed a defamation suit against Beverly Johnson, more than a year after the former model alleged that he drugged her in the '80s reported E! Online.

The 78- year old comedian's lawyer alleged that Johnson "thrust herself back into the spotlight in attempt to revive her flagging career as a model, actress and public personality" by joining the campaign to "assassinate" Cosby's reputation

The 'Crossroads' star explained that why after so many years of silence, she went public with her story.

According to the sources, the comedian has not been charged with a crime and has denied the decades-old allegations of sexual assault and attempted sexual assaults that have surfaced over the past year.
