Frank Scotti, a former NBC employee, claims he fixed up and paid off women for comedian Bill Cosby during The Cosby Show's run on the network, the Daily News released in an exclusive interview on Sunday.
Scotti says that while during the 1984 to 1992 run of the show, he would stay out and guard Cosby's dressing room when young models visited him and would arrange apartments for female friends, according to .
“He had everybody fooled,” Scotti said. “Nobody suspected.”
Scotti also admitted he delivered checks to women for Cosby, some of which were paid $2,000 a month. These payments were delivered to eight different women, one being Shawn Thompson, who claimed that Cosby fathered her daughter in 1974. Scotti suspected that all of these women were sleeping with the married Cosby and the money was to keep them quiet, which was done through money orders that Scotti has kept copies of.
“I did a lot of crazy things for him,” Scotti said. “He was covering himself by having my name on it. It was a coverup. I realized it later.”
Cosby's demands and acts led Scotti to quit his job as the facilities manager of the studio that filmed The Cosby Show.
“It bothered me. . . . You’ve got all of these kids, every time,” he said. “I used to like him, but that’s the reason I quit him after so many years — because of the girls.”
The allegations against Cosby have been a combination of sexual assault, drugging and rape, as we reported. Hollywood women such as actress Louisa Moritz, supermodel Janice Dickinson and journalist Joan Tarshis have made allegations against the 77-year-old.
