In a surprising turn of events, Bill Cosby revealed under oath that he had multiple prescriptions for quaaludes. These were not for his own use, but rather to give to women he wanted to have sex with. He claimed he never took any of the pills himself. This shocking admission came during a deposition for a lawsuit filed by Donna Motsinger, one of his accusers. The story gets even more interesting when you learn how Cosby got the quaaludes. He said a gynecologist, Dr. Leroy Amar, gave him the prescription at a poker game. This was before 1972, and the game was held at Cosby's Los Angeles home. Dr. Amar is described as a "disgraced" gynecologist who had his license revoked in California in 1979.
Motsinger's lawsuit claims that Cosby drugged and raped her in 1972. She was working as a server at the famous Trident restaurant in Sausalito, CA, at the time. According to her, Cosby gave her a pill that she thought was an aspirin. After taking it, she started losing consciousness and woke up the next day at her house, wearing only her panties. The new legal documents also describe the quaaludes as round, white pills. This detail might be important for other cases or investigations. It's a stark reminder that the actions of powerful people can have serious consequences.
