Very informative article.
Wow Tiana Johnson I keep saying this but nobody believes me. I did not know he paid her $3.5 millions. I got into a discussion with a friend when she calls me again I’m telling this part. Because she kept questioning why do I feel she did it on purpose. She gay and she was going to do whatever she needed to, to get that money from the Alumni. But she said he rapped her now he paid her outta court. Did not make sense to me at all. I feel she lied like Janice Dickerson at first hearing under Oath and now Beverly Johnson it came out Friday or Thursday…He never drugged or rapped her the have a mutual friend he knows the real story she changed it 3 times. This mutual friend of Beverly’s and Mr Cosby told that true story. Hee hee hee can’t hide from it. I’m waiting to see who else and if old strange girl is gonna confess or give Mr Cosby his 3.5 Million dollars back.
I really believe this was all to destroy Bill Cosby,
I hope their satisfied
