Disgraced actor-comedian Bill Cosby is preparing to ask the US Supreme Court to review the defamation lawsuit filed by former supermodel Janice Dickinson against him.
The legal counsel for the 80-year-old actor, who stands convicted of sexual assault as of April, has submitted an application to justice Anthony Kennedy asking for an extension on their deadline to submit a petition seeking intervention, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Dickinson, who has also accused Cosby of drugging and raping her in the 1980s, is suing over a press statement from his former attorney Marty Singer.
As the scandal started to take shape in 2014, Singer told media outlets that the model's story was "fabricated and is an outrageous defamatory lie."
