According to The New York Post, Lili Bernard voiced her horrible experience with the freshly released from prison celebrity in New Jersey federal court on Thursday, October 14. The former star alleged that Cosby drugged and raped her at one of Donald Trump's Atlantic City hotels back in 1990.

Lili Bernard And Her Connection With Cosby
The source reported that Lili Bernard had her first interaction with Bill Cosby on the set of "The Cosby Show," alleging the comedian offered to act as a mentor for her as a young actress in the '90s, based on the lawsuit.
She further elaborated that Cosby, who promised to feature her on the show, coerced her to travel from New York to Atlantic City, that year, for a business meeting at the Trump Taj Mahal with a man he described as a producer.
According to the complaint, Bernard alleged that Cosby made her a non-alcoholic drink, which made her feel "dizziness, an urge to vomit and weakness" after consuming the alcohol. The drink made her lose consciousness, and she woke up to find the celebrity undressing her.

"I have waited a long time to be able to pursue my case in court and I look forward to being heard and to hold Cosby accountable for what he did to me," Bernard announced in a press release Thursday via 6ABC News.
She also added, "Although it occurred long ago, I still live with the fear, pain and shame every day of my life."
