Bill Cosby discreetly admitted in court to getting quaaludes to drug women before having sex
Cosby completed seven prescriptions and said the medications were never for his own use, according to sealed deposition testimony.
Bill Cosby admitted under oath that he frequently obtained Quaaludes with the intention of giving them to women prior to sexual encounters, according to court documents made public this week.
Cosby testified that he filled seven prescriptions for the medication, but he insisted that he did not take the drugs himself, according to the records that TMZ was able to obtain.
In a sealed deposition related to a civil case brought by Donna Motsinger, who has accused Cosby of drugging and raping her in the early 1970s, the statements were made. Newly filed legal documents now make reference to parts of that deposition.
According to Cosby’s testimony, gynecologist and personal friend Dr. Leroy Amar wrote the prescriptions. According to Cosby, the prescriptions were given out before 1972 while he was playing poker at his Los Angeles home. Amar’s California medical license was revoked in 1979, according to the documents, which characterize him as a “disgraced” doctor.
Motsinger claims the attack happened in 1972 when she worked as a waitress at Sausalito, California’s Trident restaurant.
She says she thought the tablet Cosby offered her was aspirin. She claims that after consuming it, she started to lose consciousness and woke up in her house, half-naked, and with little recollection of what had transpired. The Quaaludes in Cosby’s possession are described in the legal docs as round, white tablets.
Cosby has requested that Motsinger’s complaint be dismissed by the court. As the court considers the conflicting submissions, she has formally contested that request, continuing the litigation.
