Chelsea Handler believes one small decision saved her from being one of Bill Cosby’s alleged rape victims.
The comedian once received an invitation to Cosby’s hotel suite, but decided to take three male friends along for support, according to the Daily Mail.
In an interview with Esquire magazine, the former TV show host said: “I was in Atlantic City playing, doing stand-up. And he was doing stand-up in Atlantic City in the same hotel. At like 3 o’clock in the afternoon, someone from the hotel came down and said ‘Oh, you know, Mr Cosby would really like to meet you up in his hotel suite’.
“I thought, ‘That’s really weird’,” she continued. ‘I don’t want to go alone’.
Handler says she asked three men, who were filming during her work trip to the city, to accompany her to Cosby’s suite and the meeting passed without incident.
“I forgot about it when all the stories about Bill Cosby came out,” Handler said. “I didn’t think of it.
“Then my friend texted me the other day, saying, Do you remember that night we went up to, or that afternoon we went up to Bill Cosby’s and you were so freaked out you made us come with you’?”
“He said ‘Hello! You could’ve been one of his victims if we weren’t there’. He’s guilty,” Handler concluded. “I think it’s pretty obvious now.”
