"I remember being humiliated, disgusted, I had revulsion towards Cosby. And Cosby was a very powerful man and probably still is. I trusted this man and I stuffed it, I compartmentalized it because I was embarrassed," Dickinson told CNN of the alleged rape incident, according to Us Weekly.
After discussing a potential job opportunity with Cosby and his musical director Stu Gardner, "Mr. Stu Gardner left the dinner table and I was alone with [Cosby] and I had menstrual cramps, I had stomach cramps. And [Cosby] said, 'Oh, I've got something for that,' and he gave me a pill."
Dickinson said she doesn't remember whether she asked The Cosby Show star, 77, what the pill was.
"But if he's giving me a pill, I trust the guy. I trusted Bill Cosby," Dickinson reportedly continued, "because of his demeanor and the promise of a career. I trusted him and I wanted a television career. I had a successful career for commercials and I wanted to take it to the next level."
At the time of this dinner, Dickinson was fresh out of rehab and emotionally fragile. After declining red wine, the model accepted the pill.
"When I started to black out, I had a Polaroid camera on me. That's when I took several photographs with a Polaroid... And I just remember shooting these pictures and having them on me in my room the next morning when I woke up. The last thing I remember is I had blacked out and Cosby was mounting me like the monster that he was," Dickinson recalled, according to Us.
"And I was thinking, 'What the heck?!' I remember passing out, but more specifically waking up, and there was a lot of pain downstairs. There was semen all over me and my pajama bottoms were off and my top was opened. And I, at that point -- fight or flight! I just packed up and got the hell out of there."
Because it's been so many years since this alleged act of rape, Dickinson can't take legal action against Cosby. However, she's still out for blood.
"I would like Cosby to come out and at least acknowledge that he is a pig, that he is a monster, and he raped me," Dickinson told CNN.
When the interview ended, Dickinson, who also starred on The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, broke down into tears.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to process this. I don't know how to process these emotions," she reportedly said. "I'm going to meditate. I'm going to go to church. This is affecting me in my house, this is affecting me here, and it's probably affecting these women."
