Former Bill Cosby fixer: I paid off women for him

Nov 23, 2014

Back at the height of The Cosby Show’s success, Frank Scotti was Bill Cosby’s fixer.

Scotti told the NY Daily News that he would do anything that the comedian needed, including standing guard at his dressing room when Cosby had one-on-one time with young models. And when Cosby needed to pay off his young female acquaintances, he would leave it to Scotti to disburse the funds.

“He had everybody fooled,” said Scotti in an exclusive interview with the Daily News. “Nobody suspected.”

The 90-year-old says he is coming forward now because he feels “sorry for the women.” Scotti was a facilities manager at the Brooklyn studios where The Cosby Show taped.

Scotti saved all the money orders from that time period, which supports his story. “I did a lot of crazy things for him,” recalled Scotti. “He was covering himself by having my name on it. It was a coverup. I realized it later.”

Angela Leslie, one of the women who recently came forth with allegations of sexual assault against Cosby, is named on one of the receipts Scotti possesses.

Cosby’s lawyer, Martin Singer, had this to say to the Daily News in regards to Scotti’s claims.

“What evidence does he have of Mr. Cosby’s involvement?” Singer said Saturday. “How would Scotti know if a woman was a model or a secretary? It appears that his story is pure speculation so that he can get his 15 minutes of fame.”
