A Startling Admission Under Oath (Image Credits: Upload.wikimedia.org)
Long-sealed testimony from Bill Cosby has come to light again, revealing his admissions about acquiring sedatives for encounters with women.
A Startling Admission Under Oath
Cosby testified during a 2005 deposition that he obtained seven prescriptions for Quaaludes.[1][2]
The entertainer described the drugs as recreational, secured ostensibly for a sore back but never consumed by him personally.[3]
Instead, he acknowledged giving the pills to others, comparing the act to offering a drink.[3]
Questioned by the lawyer for accuser Andrea Constand, Cosby confirmed the doctor knew he had no plans to take the Quaaludes himself.[2]
He also admitted awareness that dispensing the drugs violated the law at the time.[2]
The Unusual Source: A Poker Game Deal
Cosby received the initial prescription from Dr. Leroy Amar, a Los Angeles gynecologist and friend, during a poker game at his home before 1972.[1]
He refilled it seven times, stockpiling the round, white pills.[1]
Dr. Amar later faced professional consequences; California revoked his medical license in 1979.[1]
The deposition spanned four days in 2005 and 2006, part of Constand’s civil suit alleging assault.[2]
Excerpts surfaced publicly around 2015, but portions remained sealed until recent legal filings.[4]
Explicit Intentions with the Drugs
Cosby stated plainly that he acquired the Quaaludes for young women he pursued sexually.[3]
“When you got the Quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these Quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?” the attorney asked. “Yes,” Cosby replied.[3]
He likened the practice to party culture of the era, keeping the drugs “just in case.”[3]
Cosby avoided the sedatives himself, citing their depressant effects that made him sleepy, much like his aversion to alcohol.[3]
In one instance, he recalled giving Quaaludes to a woman named Therese Serignese, after which she became “high,” though he expressed uncertainty about her ability to consent.[4]
Tying Back to a New Legal Battle
The testimony gained renewed attention through a lawsuit filed by Donna Motsinger, who alleges Cosby drugged and assaulted her in 1972 while she worked at a Sausalito restaurant.[1]
Motsinger claims Cosby handed her a pill she believed was aspirin; she later regained consciousness disoriented and partially undressed.[1]
Cosby seeks dismissal of the case, while Motsinger’s team cites the deposition as relevant evidence.[1]
Here are key elements from his statements:
- Seven prescriptions from Dr. Amar, refilled multiple times.
- Purpose: Facilitate sex with targeted women.
- No personal use due to sleepiness from depressants.
- Doctor aware of non-medical intent.
- Acknowledged illegality of sharing the drugs.
Key Takeaways
- Cosby’s 2005 testimony detailed Quaalude acquisition for sexual pursuits, resurfacing in 2026 amid Motsinger’s suit.
- The prescriptions originated from a pre-1972 poker game with a later-disgraced doctor.
- He confirmed never ingesting the pills himself while admitting their intended use on others.
