Bill Cosby contests that he settled the libel lawsuit

Just hours after the news of Bill Cosby's announcement, Cosby's spokesman said it was a corruption case.

For those of We While crawling under the rocks, Cosby is serving a sentence of three to ten years in prison after more than 50 women have accused of sexual assault the favorite patriarch of the United States become a pariah. In 2014, seven of these women filed a civil suit against Cosby. An action that was reported to us was "settled" and the women were satisfied with the resolution.

The terms were not made public, and Cosby's official spokesman on Friday spoke in opposition.

"Mr. Cosby has not settled anything with anyone," Wyatt said in a statement to CNN, "He is paying nothing to anyone and is still pursuing his counterclaims. without the knowledge, without the permission and / or consent of Mr. Cosby, Mr. Cosby vehemently denies the allegations against him in the course of these defamation proceedings and maintains his innocence. "

AIG responded quickly to Wyatt's comments by issuing a statement that the company "does not publicly comment on specific claims issues."

AIG spokesperson Matthew Gallagher told CNN: "Some insurance policies give insurers the power to resolve claims when the insured has been informed."

The word "informed" is the key. Cosby was informed that his case was settled; he was given no choice and no voice in his own legal defense. He was not part of his own legal proceedings. He now asserts that the AIG settlement "gives them a corrupt appearance and exposes my innocence".

"AIG has shown that they were part of the bribery against me by paying these distractors without my knowledge, without my permission and / or without my consent," Cosby said in a statement to CNN via Wyatt. "I, [Bill Cosby], will never settle any claims of defamation, I will continue to pursue my counterclaims and I will not relinquish AIG from its responsibility in defending my defamation actions. "

Lawyer Joe Cammarata, who represents the seven plaintiffs, declined to comment, citing the secret of the agreement.

Whether or not we discuss whether Cosby is a serial rapist (because, so go) the "judicial system" exposed its flagrant corruption through its own actions … and part of the settlement discussed is that no one can talk about what happened…

… Has anyone ever heard a version of this?
