The ex-aide also tells the Daily News he stood guard whenever Cosby invited young models to his dressing room, which eventually led him to quitting after years on the job.NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Back when Bill Cosby was the king of network television, veteran NBC employee Frank Scotti served as the royal fixer. When Cosby invited young models into his Brooklyn dressing room, the megastar’s pal stood watch outside the door. When the married Cosby sought a Queens apartment for another pretty face, Scotti arranged the deal. And when the man behind Fat Albert needed cash disbursed to his flock of single female friends — hey, hey, hey — Scotti became the conduit for payments of up to $2,000 a month. “He had everybody fooled,” said Scotti in an exclusive interview with the Daily News. “Nobody suspected.” Scotti came forward last week with his insider’s look at Cosby’s womanizing ways during the magical 1984-92 run of “The Cosby Show.” The 90-year-old Scotti said he decided to speak as the drumbeat of sexual abuse allegations against Cosby, 77, grew steadily louder. “I felt sorry for the women,” he told The News. The Emmy-winning Cosby, NBC’s most bankable star at the time, used Scotti to deliver monthly payouts to eight different women in 1989-90 — including Shawn Thompson, whose daughter Autumn Jackson c...as her dad. Cosby, while denying paternity, paid out more than $100,000 to Thompson over the years after their 1974 affair began. Scotti told The News that he believes Cosby was sleeping with all the women who received money. “I was suspicious that something was going on,” said Scotti. “I suspected that he was having sex with them because the other person he was sending money to (Thompson) he was definitely having sex with. “Why else would he be sending money?” Scotti asked. “He was sending these women $2,000 a month. What else could I think?” Scotti, who lives in Lakewood, N.J., saved copies of money orders from the era detailing his payouts to four of the Cosby women. He recalled Cosby presenting him with “a satchel of money, all $100 bills,” and pressing Scotti to distribute the payments using money orders in his own name. “I did a lot of crazy things for him,” recalled Scotti. “He was covering himself by having my name on it. It was a coverup. I realized it later.” Scotti worked as facilities manager at the Brooklyn studio where “The Cosby Show” was originally taped before a live audience. Thompson, contacted last week by email, refused to comment on the ongoing Cosby sex scandal and stopped writing once Scotti’s name was mentioned. A second woman said “Dr. Cosby” sent her money to help cover expenses for her son to attend private school. The receipts showed her receiving four money orders in one day worth $3,500. “Your source could have asked me, instead of leading you on a witch hunt,” the woman texted The News. “Not that any of this is your business.” Cosby, via Scotti, passed along an additional $1,560 to a third woman in February 1990. Angela Leslie, now 52, wa...e receipts — and she told The News the Cosby camp paid for her to fly to California in the early 1990s. She got sick and returned her ticket but saw him two years later in Las Vegas. Once there, Leslie claimed Cosby got naked before getting sexual — despite her lack of interest. When she backed off, Cosby chased her out of the room. “I felt so used,” she told The News. Scotti said Cosby also had an arrangement with a Manhattan modeling agency in which the owner would deliver young women to his dressing room. Some of the aspiring models were as young as 16, Scotti said. “‘I want you to keep that one girl here,’ ” Scotti quoted Cosby as telling him. “ ‘I want to interview her for a part in the show.’” The other models and the agency’s owner would quickly disappear, leaving Cosby’s pick alone with the comedian. “The owner just walked right out,” he recounted. “She knew exactly what was going to go on. Then he’d tell me, ‘Stand outside the door and don’t let anyone in.’ Now you put that together and figure (out) why.” On another occasion, Cosby asked him to find a Queens apartment for another model from the same agency. “He said, ‘Call Donald Trump’s brother and see if he can give you an apartment,’ ” Scotti recalled. “So I called him up, and of course, who’s not going to? He’d throw somebody out just to give Bill Cosby an apartment.” Scotti said the sordid arrangements gnawed at him, and eventually led him to walk away from Cosby. “It bothered me. . . . You’ve got all of these kids, every time,” he told The News. “I used to like him, but that’s the reason I quit him after so many years — because of the girls.” The walls of Scotti’s apartment are covered with photos of the former facilities manager from his days at NBC — many with Cosby, including one signed 16-inch-by-20-inch framed portrait. “To Frank Scotty, my friend,” reads the misspelled inscription. Cosby lawyer Martin Singer scoffed at Scotti’s claims. “What evidence does he have of Mr. Cosby’s involvement?” Singer said Saturday. “How would Scotti know if a woman was a model or a secretary? It appears that his story is pure speculation so that he can get his 15 minutes of fame.” Scotti says he met Cosby when the comedian was doing standup at the Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village. When Cosby went to California for the series “I Spy,” Scotti landed a job at NBC. The two were reunited when Cosby began shooting “The Cosby Show” in Brooklyn in 1984. Scotti told Cosby that he was considering retirement — and was surprised by the star’s response. “He said, ‘You’ll never quit me. You love me,’ ” Scotti recounted. The Cos then gave him a less sentimental sendoff when he announced his departure. Previous Next
Enlarge“He looked at me and said, ‘Leave right now,’ ” Scotti recalled. He has only seen Cosby once since that day. “He was a very selfish person,” Scotti said. “He thought he was a genius. He thought he was better than everybody else.”

I have a feeling that this scandal will be like the R.Kelly situation....we'll hear all these accusations,but nothing will happen to Bill.His fans will shrug and look the other way.I don't think any of these charges could be proven in court,anyway.

Everyone is in for their 5 minutes of fame
That Frank Scotti probably got a little on the side too That article and his story is nothing about women being drugged and raped. That article might help Cosby in sorts. Because all those women willingly 'prostituted' themselves. That's all between Camille & Bill | |

I agree the 60s even the 70s for a Black man to assault molest or rape a white women... He did not have enough power to get away with it
The lady Carla who said she was emotionally traumatized for life since 1967 because he forced a kiss on her? your whole life? | |

One of the accusers actually stayed in touch with Bill,even after the alleged rape.In 1986,she was in a car accident,was hospitalized and asked Bill if he could help with the costs.Why would any woman remain "friends" with a guy who supposedly raped her? I'm not saying that Bill is innocent (we'll never know the truth),but some of these women aren't too bright. | |

"As a naive model you’re offered many compromising projects,but, this blew my mind. I was offered $15,000 to seduce and destroy Bill Cosby. Why else would they need suggestive photos and sperm? I also realized that America has a history of oppressing, killing and destroying successful and poor people of color. oooo
I was offered $15,000 cash to discredit and ruin Bill Cosby. I’m 100% convinced that all the women coming forward have been paid off to discredit Bill Cosby as well. Why? He is simply too powerful, his intentions is to empower people of color and his net worth would anger any white man. oooo I think most people are good people. My intentions aren’t to insult white people, but, the facts are the facts"

That has been posted here above:Frank Scotti (looking for his 15 min) What that is about is not illegal. If it is true that is called "GROUPIE SEX" those women were not drugged, it was consensual. The only real person he has to give an account to his Camille Cosby.

That's called Groupie sex, replace Bill with a rock or pop star or a hot actor, and it's the same thing Stop acting like people/women are niave You are the one adding a spin 'children' No one ever said they were children and it is speculation on the ages. If Bill is guilty of something here so is Frank Scotti and the modelling agency, because even Frank said the Lady know what was happening . If Michael Jackson was guilty of child molestation, then so were every single parent that dropped their children off, even after they heard of allegations.

You are being naive because you are trying to make all these women out to be victims. The rape allegations are a different topic. You are also now trying to insinuate he was molesting children. Going to dressing rooms and hotel rooms alone is not to have tea. I knew that shit at age 10 . he believes Cosby was sleeping with all the women who received money. cash disbursed to his flock of single female friends ^ those sound like ongoing situations . . By bring up this story ole Frank can actually bring more doubt on the womens allegations or motives . If ole Frank help facilite sex with underage girls or rape, he knew it according to this article is guilty too | |

people grow up in the same neghborhoods where the next door neighbor raped them, and stay in contact with them from day to day. without tellin nobody. they do the same with parents and relatives and still ask them for things (sometimes for keepin quiet)... i guess that kinda makes them :scewy: also. of course they gettin paid for their stories. just like all those victims that do shows like dr phil and oprah and the such. i'm not knockin the dude for bein guilty. i'm just not gonna off hand make him squeeky clean. andi'm not jumpin on the "lets back him cause he Black" bandwaggon, he a negro... there's a difference. i'm not in a lynchmob either... he hangin himself i am KING BAD!!!

It doesn't matter if you knew about sex at 10. Totally irrelevant. I have commented on what was said in the article, unlike you, who claims to know exactly what happened or didn't happen and who the women were and what their motives were for going into a room with him, that it was all consensual, that no drugging happened - you don't know shit. But the worst part of your comments is your response to the possibility that this man was having sex with a minor or minors and if that is true, yes...these girls are victims. | |
