Hugh Hefner has voiced his opinion on the recent sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby, including one that allegedly occurred at the Playboy Mansion in 1974.
The Playboy Mansion owner said:
“Bill Cosby has been a good friend for many years and the mere thought of these allegations is truly saddening,” the Playboy mogul wrote in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter. “I would never tolerate this kind of behavior, regardless of who was involved.”
Hefner’s comments came in response to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, alleging that Cosby molested a young girl named Judy Huth at the Playboy Mansion. The LAPD has opened an investigation in light of Huth’s allegations.
Cosby’s lawyer, Martin Singer, has called Huth’s claims “absolutely false,” “unreliable” and “untimely.”
According to the documents obtained by ABC News, Huth’s lawyer demanded $100,000 for her silence, and later increased the amount to $250,000 as additional women came forward with similar accusations.
This is very spicy. Cosby broke his silence last week, but I have a feeling that isn’t the last time we’ll hear from him. What a mess!
