Supermodel Beverly Johnson has spoken about her encounter with Bill Cosby revealing that the actor drugged and assaulted her when she auditioned for a role on 'The Cosby Show'.
The 62-year-old American actress told in an interview to a magazine that it felt "oddly inappropriate" arguing with Cosby so she took a few sips of the coffee just to appease the 77-year-old actor, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Johnson continued that she could recall Cosby's seething anger at her tirade and then actor grabbed her by her left arm hard and yanking all 110 pounds of him down a bunch of stairs as her high heels clicked and clacked on every step.
The supermodel, who became first African American woman to appear on the cover of Vogue, said that she could not remember much as she was drugged heavily.
Almost two dozen women have recently come forward accusing Cosby of sexual assault.
