What do you do when you’re employed by a wealthy, famous, formerly beloved entertainer who’s been accused of being a serial rapist by more than 30 women, and have yet to present any evidence to discredit their stories?

You attack the media for its reporting, which seems to be the strategy being taken by Bill Cosby’s lawyers following The New York Times” scathing report, taken from the unsealed deposition the Cosby Show star gave during a 2005 lawsuit that was subsequently settled for an undisclosed amount.

While news reports claim that Cosby admitted in the deposition to procuring multiple prescriptions for Quaaludes he planned to give to women in order to have sex with them, Cosby’s attorneys are firing back, saying he admitted to no such thing.

“Quaaludes were a highly popular recreational drug in the 1970s, labelled in slang as “disco biscuits,’ and known for their capacity to increase sexual arousal,”; says Cosby attorneys in just-filed court papers, reports BBC News, attempting to prevent the judge from unsealing the complete set of documents relating to the lawsuit launched by Andrea Constand, which would reveal terms of the confidential settlement agreement.

“There are countless tales of celebrities, music stars, and wealthy socialites in the 1970s willingly using Quaaludes for recreational purposes and during consensual sex,”; added the lawyers.

Furthermore, Cosby’s legal team is claiming that Constand was behind leaking the deposition documents to the Times in an attempt to “smear the defendant.”;

Cosby’s lawyers also target the media, who are “armed with only one side of the story”; and then “cavalierly misinterpreted”; the statements Cosby made in the deposition.

Despite the evidence presented in the Times story, lawyers insist that Cosby never admitted to having nonconsensual sex or to giving women drugs without their knowledge.

“Yet, upon the unsealing of these excerpts, the media immediately pounced, inaccurately labelling the release testimony as [Cosby’s] “confession’ of “drugging’ women and assaulting them,”; say the lawyers, adding: “Reading the media accounts, one would conclude that [Cosby] has admitted to rape. And yet [he] admitted to nothing more than being one of the many people who introduced Quaaludes into their consensual sex life in the 1970s.”;

It can’t be a coincidence that, following this latest salvo from the Cosby legal team, the headline in the online New York Times story has been changed: the original headline — “Bill Cosby Deposition Reveals Calculated Pursuit of Young Women Using Fame, Drugs, Deceit”; — has been altered to read: “Bill Cosby in Deposition, Said Drugs and Fame Helped Him Seduce Women.”;
