Remember Chloe Goins? — The ex-Playboy model who accused Bill Cosby of drugging and molesting her back in 2008 at the Playboy Mansion. Well she definitely filed a suit against Cosby but it didn’t stick. Now she’s after Hefner saying that he helped Cosby conspire his sexual assault against her.
Her attorney Spencer Kuvin told Daily Mail Online that Hefner needed to be held to account for what he said was 30 years of Cosby’s sexual conduct.
‘We believe that Mr Hefner not only knew but at the very least should have known what Mr Cosby has been doing to these women over the last 30 plus years,’ Kuvin said.
‘Thus far no one has been held to account for tacitly standing by knowing what this man was doing.
Her attorney said that dropping the federal lawsuit had allowed them to bring new action naming Hefner.
‘After filing the original lawsuit we continued our internal investigation of the case and came to the opinion that we felt there were additional actors that were involved in this particular incident, namely Mr Hefner,’ Kuvin said.
‘Based upon the long standing relationship between Mr Hefner and Mr Cosby, as well as the specific allegations and facts of this case and how the two men approached our client together, in addition to our independent investigation, we felt it was necessary to include Mr Hefner in the complaint.’
Goins says in her lawsuit: ‘In 2008 Defendants Hefner and Cosby both knowingly and willfully agreed and conspired to host parties, invite minors or young adults under the age of 21, provide them with alcohol and or foreign substances.’
She claims that the incident left her ‘shocked, hurt, and psychologically impacted and damaged’.
Hefner and Cosby are known to be longtime friends, and the head of Playboy has previously said he’s ‘saddened’ by the sexual assault accusations made against the comedian.
‘Bill Cosby has been a good friend for many years and the mere thought of these allegations is truly saddening,’ Hefner said in a statement in 2014, shortly after the first series of claims about the comedian were made.
‘I would never tolerate this kind of behavior, regardless of who was involved.’
