Kathie Lee Gifford is sharing a revealing tidbit about the time she spent with Bill Cosby while she toured with him in the ‘70s. She admitted that he came on to her, and offered her cappuccinos just like Beverly Johnson claimed he used to drug her.
There have been several women coming forward sharing their varying stories about their alleged incidents with the former sitcom star, including Janice Dickinson and Johnson.
Gifford shared her own story about Cosby on the Today Show on Tuesday, saying when she turned down his advances, he was polite about it and “respected” it.
“I will admit, toward the very, very end of the last time I saw him, he did try to kiss me," she said, Us Weekly reports.
"I said, 'No.' I said, 'Bill, we're friends.' He said, 'Okay, goodnight,' and I said, 'Goodnight.' And I went into my room, and he went into his room."
She went on to recall Cosby offering her a cappuccino when they got offstage, which is why she said she got a “chill” when Johnson claimed he drugged her that way.
“'m not saying that the women are liars. From my own personal experience, it didn't happen. A lot of married men come onto single women,” she said. “He is kind, he is capable of great kindness, he's capable of great generosity...I, along with so many Americans and people worldwide, don't want these stories to be true."
