In Vanity Fair magazine, Johnson said Cosby invited her to audition for a small part on his television show, invited her to his New York brownstone, and then asked her to come back and read for the part a few days later.
Johnson wrote that Cosby insisted she have a cappuccino from a large espresso machine, and she took a few sips.
“I knew by the second sip of the drink Cosby had given me that I’d been drugged — and drugged good,” she wrote. “My head became woozy, my speech became slurred, and the room began to spin nonstop. Cosby motioned for me to come over to him as though we were really about to act out the scene. He put his hands around my waist, and I managed to put my hand on his shoulder in order to steady myself. As I felt my body go completely limp, my brain switched into automatic-survival mode. That meant making sure Cosby understood that I knew exactly what was happening at that very moment.”
“The last four weeks have changed everything, as so many women have shared similar stories,” she wrote. “I couldn’t sit back and watch the other women be vilified and shamed for something I knew was true.”
