Bill Cosby has been sued for defamation in Springfield, Massachusetts by Tamara
Green who said he branded her a liar in public statements made through his
representatives to Washington Post and Newsweek denying her allegations of
sexual abuse thereby impugning her reputation and expose her to “public
contempt and ridicule, aversion or disgrace.
Green is
seeking unspecified punitive damages, asserting that Cosby himself is liable
for the conduct of his legal and press representatives.
The retired
California attorney,Tamara Green through her attorney Joseph Cammarata, a
Washington D.C personal injury lawyer who initially represented Paula Jones in
her sexual harassment lawsuit against President Bill Clinton said she filed the
suit to “restore her good name and reputation”
“That’s
all we've got in life at the end of the day,” he says. “It’s the most
important thing we have.”
Cammarata
also said that “Other women Cosby has made public comments about are welcome to
join the lawsuit”
Cosby has
never been criminally charged, and through his lawyers has insisted none of the
allegations is true. During a National Public Radio interview in November,
Cosby silently refused to answer questions put to him about the scandal.
