In the counter-suit, filed
in US district court in Springfield, Massachusetts, Bill Cosby says the seven women
lied when they made their accusations against him on assault.
US comedian Bill Cosby have
decided to sue seven women who accused him of assaulting them, claiming they
defamed his character.
They are among 50 who have
come forward to accuse the actor of sexually assaulting them after plying them
with drugs and alcohol.
His suit is in response to
lawsuits filed by all seven women charging him with libel, assault and slander
and seeking unspecified financial damages.
The 78-year-old, best known
for his role in the 1980s television hit The Cosby Show, has repeatedly denied
doing anything wrong and has never been criminally charged.
Many of the assaults he is
alleged to have committed occurred decades ago so the statute of limitations
for prosecuting them has elapsed.
The countersuit contends
that the women defamed his "honourable legacy and reputation" by
accusing him of sexual misconduct.
he should go and sleep how many of the women he assaulted sue him, no shame
