You just cannot ignore this compelling New York magazine cover, which brings together 35 of the 46 women who have accused popular comedian and actor, Bill Cosby of sexual assault. The magazine has a detailed feature about the incidents of assault reported by these women against Cosby.
On Sunday, the magazine published excerpts of interviews with each woman for a 13-page photo essay, covering the accusations they have made against the comedian and the backlash they have faced. The magazine also tweeted a few lines from each of these accusers to create a buzz online about their special feature.
The New York magazine cover comes a week after a deposition of Cosby taken during a sexual assault lawsuit from 2005 was published by the New York Times. In the court documents, the stand-up comedian and actor admitted to giving one of his victims, Andrea Constand, one a and a half tablets of Bendryl to relieve stress. According to Cosby, their sexual encounter was consensual.
