Andrew Toth—FilmMagic/Getty Images From their accounts of how Cosby allegedly raped them to the details of their traumatic experiences trying to recover, the women shared remarkably similar stories. They all said the actor had drugged and raped them; four of the five said they told someone in the immediate aftermath of the alleged crime, but were discouraged from going further. All five women said they have never sought financial compensation from Cosby and agreed they never would accept it. “I want him to suffer like we’ve all suffered,” said P.J. Masten_,_ who said she was assaulted by Cosby in 1979\. Masten said she knows other women who have not yet come forward. ## Transcript [00:00] How many of you were drugged? Mm. Allegedly. All of you. [00:03] All of you. Yes. And that seems to have been, from the [00:07] women that we've spoken to, his M. O. Mm. Yes. There are [00:10] allegations that he would drug women. Yeah. Right. Do [00:14] you, who, who, who of you remembers being drugged? Tell [00:18] me. Well, I remember both times. I remember both times. I [00:21] remember having one. Bloody Mary topped with beer. As [00:24] I've said he called it a red eye. And I woke [00:28] up I don't know how long later with him taking off [00:32] my clothes. And you don't pass out from one small drink. [00:36] Do you think about him everyday? No. No. I'll tell you what [00:39] it is though, Don. It's like this subliminal soundtrack. I [00:44] don't think about my son dying 44 years ago every day, but [00:48] it's always there just under the surface. How many of, show [00:52] of hand, hands, have tried to get money out of Bill Cosby. [00:54] None of you? How many of you would [00:58] ever take money from Bill Cosby? Interesting. [01:05] People claim that they're in it, in it for money. They've [01:07] never tried to get money from Bill Cosby. He gave me $ 20. [01:10] To take a, K called to cab, for, for me and gave me 20 [01:13] bucks for the cab. Right. To me it would be a form [01:17] of contempt from him. Mm- hm. And this, this [01:21] isn't about, it's not about sex. It's about power. Yes. He's a [01:24] predator. He, he goes after women. And he's not even a [01:27] man. If you have to drug a woman to have sex with her, [01:31] that's not a man, he's a coward. He's a despicable [01:35] coward. He has the same MO with all of us. He [01:40] identifies a vulnerable victim. He then gets [01:44] them alone or lures them into. Place that [01:48] sometimes where other people are in proximity. He [01:53] drugs them. He does his thing with him, them. [01:58] And then sometimes he waits for them to wake up, so he [02:02] can hurt, he, yet more contempt. And what [02:06] do you all want to see happen now to him? I [02:11] want his Emmys taken away from him. You want his [02:14] awards taken away. Absolutely. Take those awards away [02:17] from him. He's a predator. The sad thing for me is that he's [02:21] also victimized his four daughters. Yep. Cuz now they have [02:24] to hear all about their. Yep. Daddy. And those poor girls. [02:29] And poor Camille. This has to be a revolution. [02:33] This has to. Change the, the, the fabric of this culture. [02:39] Re, regarding this sit, this situation. It's, it's him. But [02:43] we have lessons to teach our children. And we have, we, [02:47] we have a responsibility to, for public awareness [02:51] and to educate through action and, and through support [02:54] and to reach out to. All the other women that are closely- [02:58] Mm- hm. Related to this, and beyond. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3624774/bill-cosby-accusers-joint-interview/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3624774/bill-cosby-accusers-joint-interview/"},"headline":"5 Accusers Speak Out Against Bill Cosby","datePublished":"2014-12-09T15:18:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T09:03:20.823Z","description":"In a joint interview that aired Monday evening","url":"https://time.com/3624774/bill-cosby-accusers-joint-interview/","keywords":["Living","Sexual Assault","Crime","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3624774/bill-cosby-accusers-joint-interview/","name":"5 Accusers Speak Out Against Bill Cosby"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Cosby Accusers Speak Out in Joint Interview","description":"Cosby Accusers Speak Out in Joint Interview","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/PHjRViZU/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-12-09T16:26:20.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/PHjRViZU.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3624774/bill-cosby-accusers-joint-interview/","duration":"PT3M2S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3624774/bill-cosby-accusers-joint-interview/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
