Over the past few weeks, the Bill Cosby sex scandal has been progressively growing worse, as he's forced to cancel media appearances and comedy shows - the latest news regarding this topic is the fact that he covered it up back in the 1980s by using his own daughter as a scapegoat.

The Cosby sex scandal has been all over the news over the past month or so, ever since comedian Hannibal Buress first accused him of multiple rape charges in his stand-up act last October.

Ever since that act first came out to the public, the Cosby sex scandal has grown exponentially worse, as 18 different women have come forward stating that he sexually assaulted them in some way or another - often drugging them first, according to website News.com.au.

Now, the latest information to come out regarding the Cosby sex scandal is a few decades old: according to The Washington Times, the man behind the role of Dr. Huxtable in the famed family sitcom "The Cosby Show" stopped another sex scandal from going public in the 80s, by leaking the story of his daughter's sexual addiction to the media.

A new story by The New York Post's Page Six Magazine has come out in which a former National Enquirer reporter has stated that the comedian himself leaked the story of his daughter Erinn's drug abuse in 1989, trading it for another one regarding a supposed Cosby sex scandal at the time.

It seems that the paper's editor told the reporter that it had indeed been daddy Cosby who had leaked the story, trying to save himself from being exposed: it seems the original Cosby sex scandal featured the comedian in an orgy situation with friend Sammy Davis Jr. and a few Vegas showgirls, though the date of these events was not specified.
