In November 2017, Cosby and his attorney, Marty Singer, were defendants in a renewed defamation lawsuit from Janice Dickinson, one day after Dickinson's 2017 rape allegations against Cosby. Dickinson claimed Cosby had drugged and raped her during the 1980s. Singer publicly called her account a "fabricated and outrageous defamatory lie" and threatened to sue Good Morning America for allowing Dickinson to tell her side of the story. A California appeals court initially overturned a trial court decision that had dismissed Dickinson's motion to amend her complaint to add Singer, but on appeal, the order was reinstated, so Dickinson could continue with her case. Dickinson wanted justice from Cosby, who had tried to discredit her story by besmirching her reputation.
