The problems for Bill Cosby doesn't seem to end as now a screenwriter named Heidi Thomas has accused the comedian to sexually misconduct her after making her drink.

The English screenwriter said that she was called for an audition by Cosby in 1984 when she was an aspiring actress, CNN reported.

Thomas admits that her memory of the next few hours was "foggy".

The former model continued that she was not in her senses when the actor tried forcefully to have sex with her.

Thomas said that she remembers eventually storming out of the room and slamming the door and then apologizing for being "rude".

This is not the first time that the 77-year-old comedian has been accused by any woman as there are many cases filed against him of sexual assault of around 20 women, whereas his lawyer has always stated the allegations to be baseless.
