Now singer Morganne Picard has filed a lawsuit claiming she too, was drugged and assaulted by Cosby on numerous occasions in the late 80s...

From People
According to paperwork filed under the Adult Survivors Act that was seen by PEOPLE, plaintiff Morganne Picard accused Cosby, 86, of inviting the aspiring musician to the set of The Cosby Show in 1987, when she alleged that he "insisted and encouraged" her to drink beverages that made her feel “extremely intoxicated" on "multiple occasions" between then and 1990.
Picard also alleged that she was blacked out and raped after drinking a beverage from Cosby at his home, and later woke up "naked with soreness in her vagina" in a hotel room.
"Upon information and belief, when Ms. Picard was physically incapacitated by the unknown intoxicant, Cosby undressed and raped her, without her consent and when she did not have the capacity to consent," the lawsuit alleged.
The document also named Kaufman Astoria Studios, Astoria Studios LP II, the Carsey-Warner Company and NBCUniversal as defendants, as they did "not investigate, reprimand, supervise nor in any way try to stop Cosby from sexually abusing, assaulting and/or battering women."
Kaufman Astoria Studios, the Carsey-Warner Company and NBCUniversal did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Saturday. Astoria Studios LP II, meanwhile, could not be reached for comment.
