Don Lemon sat across from Joan Tarshis for an exclusive interview on CNN last night, asking Tarshis many questions about her past with Bill Cosby. After opening up to Lemon about how Cosby allegedly raped her twice in 1969 and about how she staved off his advances for intercourse by lying about a vaginal infection, Tarshis said she was forced to perform oral sex on the famous comedian. But this prompted Lemon to ask an unusual, wildly inappropriate question in response: Can one really be forced to perform oral sex? Why didn’t Tarshis just bite down on Cosby’s penis out of protest? View the following video to see her answer: Don Lemon Questions Bill Cosby Rape Accuser Cosby stands accused of over a dozen sexual assaults from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The actor has canceled an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman amidst this controversy, while Netflix has postponed the launch of a Bill Cosby stand-up special (initially planned for November 28) in light of the allegations. Model Janice Dickinson, meanwhile, claimed yesterday that she was also victimized by Cosby following a business meeting in 1982. Dickinson says Cosby drugged and raped her in Lake Tahoe, becoming the 15th woman to make these sort of accusations against the actor. “Janice’s story accusing Bill Cosby of rape is a complete lie,” says attorney Marty Singer in a statement, referencing the model’s autobiography and adding that it simply said Cosby “blew her off” after Dickinson refused to sleep with him. “You can confirm with HarperCollins that she never claimed Mr. Cosby raped her, that no attorney representing Bill Cosby tried to kill the story (since there was no such story) and no one tried to prevent anything she wanted to say about Bill Cosby in her book.” The main takeaway from this specific story, however, is that Don Lemon ought to be fired immediately.
