Posted On : December 22, 2015

fb sammy ex bill and sammySammy Davis Jr.’s ex-girlfriend, who is also another one of Bill Cosby’s sexual assault accusers, has just filed a new lawsuit against him. She first revealed her claims in 2014 that Cosby had sexually assaulted her while she was still dating her boyfriend, Sammy. Her name is Kathy McKee and she said that although Cosby allegedly raped her, she never told Sammy, who was still her boyfriend at the time of the alleged rape. Kathy said she knew Cosby pretty well and she is also appeared on his show, The Bill Cosby Show, in the early 70’s as well as on Sanford and Son.

Via TMZ:

The ex-girlfriend of Sammy Davis Jr. has just sued Bill Cosby, claiming he raped her over dinner.

Katherine McKee says in 1971, she appeared on The Bill Cosby Show where she developed a friendship with the star. Their scene together on the episode below starts at around 7:20.

McKee says in 1974, he invited her to his Detroit hotel room, telling her to get some ribs and go to his hotel room. When she arrived, she claims in the lawsuit — obtained by TMZ — he greeted her in a bathrobe and in short order he grabbed the ribs, threw them aside and then attacked her.

McKee says he pulled down her panties and raped her as they stood by the door.

The actress told the New York Daily News about the incident in 2014, and Cosby’s lawyer promptly labeled her a liar.

The statute of limitations has long since passed on the rape allegation, so she’s suing for defamation.

Here are more details about what Kathy said happened when she went to Cosby’s hotel room to bring him some barbecue ribs and go out to a party with him, after her then boyfriend, Sammy Davis Jr. had left town:

Via Daily News: McKee, an actress and former Vegas showgirl, said she partied regularly with Davis’ notorious Rat Pack in the late 1960s and had known Cosby for eight years when the alleged assault took place.

“Back then, I was Sammy’s road wife. He had an open marriage, and we were lovers. That’s how it went,” McKee told the Daily News, talking about the alleged sexual assault for the first time.

“He was a buddy. He knew I was Sammy’s girl,” she said about accepting the invitation.

“I remember I walked in the door, and he had a robe and cap on. He took the ribs from my hands and just grabbed me,” McKee said of Cosby.

“He spun me around, pulled my panties down, and just took it. We were still standing at the door when he attacked me,” she told The News. “It was so fast and so shocking and so unbelievable,” she said.

McKee said she quickly fled to the bathroom to compose herself. Cosby got dressed, and the two shared an icy silence in the elevator down to the lobby, where someone was waiting to escort them to the boat party.

“I never said a word. I was too uncomfortable about it,” she recalled. “Bill was so rude and cold toward me the rest of the night. I thought, ‘When this boat docks, I’m out of here.’ I just left.”

McKee said she never uttered a peep to Davis about what allegedly happened.

“I didn’t want to put that in Sammy’s head,” McKee said.

“I was mad at my own self for not saying, ‘What the f—?’ Why didn’t I stop it and get him away from me? But it happened too fast. I was absolutely flabbergasted,” she said.

“And I had the guilt. I questioned myself, ‘Why did I go there? Why did I bring him those ribs? Maybe he thought that’s what I wanted too?’”

“It was a rape, but it seemed so strange to call it that. We think of rape as a stranger who attacks you in a parking lot,” she said.

“I chalked it up to another powerful person in Hollywood who just felt he could take what he wanted from women.”
