Bill Cosby's lawyer accuses news channel for maligning him

December 21, 2014 15:13

Attorney of comedian Bill Cosby, who has been accused of sexual assault by several women, has slammed a leading news network for not using an interview, which challenges one of the accuser's claims. Martin Singer has issued a letter to CNN citing 'reckless' investigation into accusers of the famous TV star, reported The Wrap.

In early December, Beverly Johnson came forward with accusations that Cosby drugged her during an audition for 'The Cosby Show' in the mid-80s in an essay for Vanity Fair.

In the letter to CNN president Jeffrey Zucker, Singer said that CNN decided not to use an interview with Johnson's live-in boyfriend from 2006-2009, Mark Burk, because he did not corroborate her story of being drugged by the 'Cosby Show' star for an upcoming special planned by the cable news network.
