Women are taking Bill Cosby to court, but the tables have turned and now, Bill is counter suing seven of those women, according to TMZ, Dec. 14, 2015. Bill believes the women deliberately set out to destroy his return to television with malicious intent.

He said their accusations have caused him to suffer from the loss of jobs, destruction of his property, shame, mortification and they damaged his reputation beyond repair. It is believed that their motive behind the lawsuit, other than ruining his reputation, is for monetary gain. “The honorable legacy and reputation that Mr. Cosby has long cultivated…has been tarnished,” the shocking court documents read. “Relying solely on unsubstantiated accusations, Counterclaim Defendants have engaged in a campaign to assassinate Mr. Cosby’s reputation and character by willfully, maliciously, and falsely accusing Mr. Cosby of multi-decade-old purported sexual misconduct.” The seven women are not represented by Gloria Allred. However, Gloria did email FOX411 this response, “Bill Cosby appears to be going to war against women who have sued him in Massachusetts and who allege that he has victimized them. Although I do not represent the women in that case, I do believe that in general that such a tactic will not deter courageous women from fighting the battle against him.” What do you think Bill Cosby’s chances are of getting a fair hearing, or do you think he even has a chance to reclaim his career or reputation?
