Beverly Johnson speaks out about life after Cosby allegations

Jan 4, 2015

Beverly Johnson is considered one of the most high profile women to have come forward with sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby. So when the Palms Springs resident showed up to the Palm Springs International Film Festival Gala this week, she knew exactly what to expect.

The supermodel told The Hollywood Reporter at the festival:

It’s been a whirlwind month. I knew what to expect by coming here, and I was good with it — until I got here. My whole life changed in the last month. There has been an outpouring of women telling me their sexual abuse stories. I knew it was an important thing to do.

Now I hear these stories wherever I go. I know, though, that speaking out was the right thing to do — it is always the right thing to do.

Last month, Johnson recounted her story on The View, where she was questioned by the panel, including Whoopi Goldberg, who has defended Cosby in the past.
