Beverly Johnson, 62, who made history as the first African-American woman to grace the cover of Vogue, joined two dozen women who have accused the comedian of attacking them. After having dinner at Cosby's New York brownstone, Johnson said the comedian insisted that she have a cappuccino. Speaking from her home in California, Johnson told Today: 'I felt something from the first sip and it was like I didn't believe it, so I took another sip and I felt the effects of being drugged. The room began to spin and I got woozy, I was in the verge of passing out.' In a separate interview she told GMA : 'I knew I had been drugged and drugged really good...I knew I was in danger.'
The 62-year-old on Friday recounted the terrifying moment that she claims Cosby had 'drugged her really good'. Johnson claimed Cosby gave her a spiked cappuccino at his New York brownstone in 1986 where she was visiting to read lines for a TV part. The model described how she went into 'survival mode' and began repeatedly calling Cosby a 'motherf*****'
She then claimed that Cosby dragged her downstairs, out the front door and flung her into a cab Johnson didn't reveal her story until now because she was afraid for her career and had gone through a bitter custody battle for her daughter. She also said that she didn't want to be vilified for speaking out against a 'revered African-American man'
