Though there had been allegations surrounding "The Cosby Show" star for years, it wasn't until last fall's Hannibal Buress monologue about the legendary comedian that the Bill Cosby scandal really broke out, and it has even involved some major Hollywood players like former supermodel Janice Dickinson - now, another victim comes forward to talk about what happened to her.
The last confession regarding the Bill Cosby scandal came back in January, when famous Hollywood exec Cindra Ladd wrote a co-ed in The Huffington Post, in which she explained how the iconic comedian abused her when she was a 21 year-old woman first reaching New York City.
Now, it's Jewel Allison's turn to speak out in the midst of the Bill Cosby scandal; according to TVGuide.com, she's now stated that she'd failed to speak out before because she was worried what effect it would have on her everyday life, as she saw that every woman who had accused Cosby in the past had been a subject of humiliation and skepticism, and she felt that, being a black woman, it'd be even worse for her.
The new confession about the Bill Cosby scandal comes in the form of another co-ed, this time on The Washington Post, as poet and author Allison (who wrote "Stealing Peace: Let's Talk About Racism") goes on the record to tell her story, saying that for decades she had feared to step forward due to the fact that she was convinced she'd receive even more humiliation for being a black woman, so she allowed "race to trump rape."
"As an African-American woman, I felt the stakes were even higher. Historic images of black men being vilified en masse as sexually violent sent chills through my body," Allison wrote, according to The Daily Mail, finally telling her story on the Bill Cosby scandal, saying that the man most famous for playing Dr. Huxtable grabbed her hand and placed it on his genitals; from shock, she later threw up on her car seat when she was on her way home.
The Bill Cosby scandal keeps growing, as now more than three dozen women have spoken out to say he sexually assaulted them, most of them with very similar stories - last year, Allison herself said that Cosby might be the biggest "serial rapist" in American history.
