Journalist Claims Bill Cosby Sold His Daughter’s Addiction Story To Tabloids

Rumors of a massive cover-up of Bill Cosby’s unsavory dealings with women are picking up steam in the wake of the pile of rape allegations that continues to grow each day. Now, a tabloid journalist has stepped forward with claims that Bill tried to shut down a story they had about the comedian’s sexual exploits…by selling an even jucier story about is daughter. Via PageSix:

Bill Cosby is a horrible human being — even when he isn’t allegedly drugging and raping women — according to detractors.

A journalist I’ve known for many years recalls a sordid tale about Cosby in the summer of 1989, when the reporter was working for the National Enquirer.

The supermarket weekly had a solid story about Cosby — whose show was No. 1 in TV ratings and who was viewed as a perfect father figure — “swinging with Sammy Davis Jr. and some showgirls in Las Vegas,” the reporter, who didn’t want to be named, told me yesterday.

Contacted by the Enquirer for comment, Cosby apparently handed the weekly a story about his then-23-year-old daughter Erinn’s battle with drug and alcohol abuse instead.

“My editor told me that daddy Cosby was the source. He ratted out his flesh and blood,” said my source.

Cosby was quoted in the flattering story as saying, “Deep down inside, she knows we love her.”
