Supermodel Janice Dickinson is suing Bill Cosby, claiming he lied when his team said he never drugged and raped her in 1982.

She is outraged that Cosby’s team released a statement saying that she had fabricated the story.

Dickinson is suing Cosby for defamation and emotional distress. In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, she’s asking for unspecified damages.

In November 2014, Dickinson came forward, revealing that in 1982 she and Cosby had dinner in Lake Tahoe, and then he gave her a glass of red wine and a pill, which she asked for because she was on her period and had stomach pains.

“The next morning I woke up, and I wasn’t wearing my pajamas, and I remember before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted by this man,” Dickinson told Entertainment Tonight. “Before I woke up in the morning, the last thing I remember was Bill Cosby in a patchwork robe, dropping his robe and getting on top of me. And I remember a lot of pain. The next morning, I remember waking up with my pajamas off and there was semen in between my legs.”

Dickinson later released a photo to the media of Cosby in the room where she alleges the rape occurred.
