Comedy club manager Joyce Emmons claims Bill Cosby drugged her

Joyce Emmons, a former comedy club manager, has stepped forward to add her name to the growing list of women alleging sexual misconduct at the hands of Bill Cosby.

Speaking to TMZ, Emmons states that in her time running clubs in the ’70s and ’80s, the famed comedian frequently had drugs in his possession, although he never appeared to take them. She then states that on one occasion, he offered her some:

border-left: 10px solid #ccc;

margin: 1.5em 10px;

padding: 0.5em 10px;

quotes: "201C""201D""2018""2019";

}

div.block-quote blockquote:before {

color: #ccc;

content: open-quote;

font-size: 4em;

line-height: 0.1em;

margin-right: 0.25em;

vertical-align: -0.4em;

}

div.block-quote blockquote p {

display: inline;

}

div.block-quote cite {

background: #c0cbdb;

}

It’s the latest in a series of allegations against the 77-year old that resurfaced following accusations made by comedian Hannibal Buress during a performance. Cosby and his lawyers have remained steadfast in their refusal to address these allegations—a decision which appears to be a costly one in the court of public opinion.
