Bill Cosby lawyers say Janice Dickinson's rape allegations are completely untrue

Shocking news of Bill Cosby's past surfaced earlier this week, alleging that the legendary actor had been involved in numerous sexual assault cases. One celebrity victim also spoke out, supermodel Janice Dickinson.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dickinson spoke about the assault that she says happened in 1982.

Dickinson claims that the attack happened when she met Cosby in Lake Tahoe for dinner, to discuss a potential role she could have on 'The Cosby Show.' Dickinson then claims that she was given red wine and a pill, which she asked for, to alleviate her menstrual cramps.

"The next morning I woke up, and I wasn't wearing my pajamas, and I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man," said Dickinson.

Dickinson then claims that she wrote about the attack in her book called 'No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World's First Supermodel' and recalled how Cosby's lawyers asked her to remove the excerpt stating the assault.

Cosby's lawyers are firing back at the claims, however, saying that there is no truth to it.

"You can confirm with HarperCollins that she never claimed that Mr Cosby raped her, that no attorney representing Bill Cosby tried to kill the story (since there was no such story) and no one tried to prevent anything she wanted to say about Bill Cosby in her book," said Cosby's lawyer, Marty Singer, as reported by E! Online.
