16. Plaintiff arrived at the filming location in Los Angeles anticipating a meeting with
the director and other individuals generally involved in the casting process, similar to her
experience on previous auditions and the standard practice in the industry at the time. Immediately
upon her arrival, Plaintiff was met by Defendant Cosby and quickly ushered into the empty
director’s office. As Plaintiff was standing in the doorway to the office, Defendant Cosby stated in
a commanding voice, “Have a seat!.” Upon entering the office, Plaintiff observed an empty
swivel chair abutting the door, so close that it required moving in order to enter the room.

17. As Plaintiff sat down, realizing she would have to move the chair to where the desk
was located, Plaintiff looked down to place her purse on her lap while grasping her portfolio.
Before she could relocate the chair to the desk, Plaintiff felt Defendant Cosby’s hand grab her hair
behind her head. Defendant Cosby was facing Plaintiff with his back to the now closed door, so
that if anyone were to enter, they would not be able to see what was happening within. As Plaintiff
looked up, she observed Defendant Cosby had removed his penis from his pants and before
Plaintiff could react, Defendant Cosby forced his penis into Plaintiff’s mouth before ultimately
ejaculating on her face, clothing and hair.

18. Plaintiff, unable to breathe and in shock from what had just transpired, was unable
to react. Defendant Cosby used a tissue to attempt to wipe his semen from Plaintiff’s face.

19. Still in shock, Plaintiff was escorted to her car by Defendant Cosby. As she gripped
the steering wheel, cheeks streaked with tears, Defendant Cosby, still next to the car, quickly
retreated, passing in front of Plaintiff’s car as he walked away.
