5 women are suing Hollywood actor, Bill Cosby for acts of s*xual abuse which happened decades ago as they attempted to break into show business.

The new lawsuit was filed hours ago at the Manhattan Supreme Court, and the world has been reacting.

According to reports, the alleged victims said Cosby had posed as a mentor to them, but he instead drugged groped, raped and sel*xually abused them as far back as 1969.

The plaintiffs are also suing three companies — NBC Universal Media, Kaufman Astoria Studios and the Carsey-Werner Company — for their apparent failures to intervene and protect the women.

WOW.
