Actress Katherine McKee alleges that Bill Cosby raped her in a Detroit hotel room in the early 1970s when she in town on tour with Sammy Davis.
She is one of more than 20 women who have made sexual allegations against Cosby, who has issued blanket denials.
McKee, 65, who is former Vegas showgirl, says she partied with Sammy Davis and the Rat Pack in the late 1960s and had known Cosby for eight years when he assaulted her, Nancy Dillon of the Daily News reports.
“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.
She said that she was in town with Sammy Davis and then struck around to visit relatives. She said Cosby invited her to go to a boat party, and told her to come by the hotel to pick him up.
The News reports:
“He was a buddy. He knew I was Sammy’s girl,” she said about accepting the invitation.
McKee, now 65, said Cosby asked her to get some ribs from local hotspot Checker Bar-B-Q and then pick him up at his hotel.
“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.
She said she was too uncomfortable saying anything afterwards.
"It was very embarrassing what happened.
"I didn't find being a victim an interesting tale to tell."
