Two civil suits are moving forward against Bill Cosby filed by Janice Dickinson and Judy Huth. Recent reports state the The Cosby Show legend's former longtime attorney has been released and now Cosby "has decided to hire 700 lawyers to fight one woman."
As reported by UPI, Cosby has relieved his long time entertainment attorney Martin Singer and has hired a new representation from the Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan law firm. According to the site, Gloria Allred, the opposing lawyer in the Judy Huth case, released a statement in regards to the new representation stating, "Mr. Cosby has decided to hire 700 lawyers to fight one woman."
According to TIME, the Judy Huth case is different from the other 50 plus cases, as this woman is claiming Cosby molested her when she was just a minor at the age of 15. Initially, Cosby's former attorney, Singer, attempted to get the case dismissed but a California Supreme court denied the request and has decided to move forward with the case.
According to the site, Huth is now in her 50s and will soon take the stand to recount the alleged molestation in court. She is represented by Allred who, according to TIME, "hopes to depose Cosby in August and will seek permission to videotape the proceeding."
With the case moving forward, and adding to the additional civil suit from former model, Dickinson, Cosby had decided to seek new representation from a substantially larger firm with over 18 offices around the world, according to UPI. Reportedly, Singer represented Cosby since the beginning of the Huth case up to now. The UPI report states, "only Mr. Cosby and/or his representatives would be able to comment on the reason that Singer is no longer representing Mr. Cosby and why this change has been made."
