Two new accusers came forward Thursday to assail Bill Cosby for sexually assaulting them, including one who labeled him a "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" personality.

The two women were produced at a Los Angeles press conference by crusading attorney Gloria Allred, who already represents some half-dozen of the nearly three-dozen women who have accused Cosby of drugging and raping them in decades past.

Allred has become Cosby's main legal adversary, and she promises to continue to hound him as he attempts to press on with his current tour, already marked by protests, postponements and cancellations.

Cosby has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime.

"Mr. Cosby thinks that this will soon be over and that no more women will come forward," Allred said. "He is very wrong. I still have many women who have not yet come forward but who are willing to do so in the future."

New Cosby accusers have come forward nearly every week since about November, including some with lawyers who are not Allred.

On Sunday, it was a woman named Helen Gumpel, who said at a press conference in Boston that Cosby tried to accost her in a dressing room on The Cosby Show in 1987, when she was an actress on the show.

On Thursday, it was former models Linda Brown and Lise-Lotte Lublin tearfully describing what they say happened to them in encounters with Cosby.

Brown said she was 21 when she met Cosby in 1969 at a restaurant in Toronto. She went to his hotel room, because he wanted to give her a gift, and when she got there he gave her a softdrink. She took a sip, blacked out, and woke up naked in bed with him, where she says she was raped.

"I felt like a rag doll and like a real-life blow-up doll for him" she said. "I felt dirty, ashamed and embarrassed," and fooled into believing that Cosby was "nice, trustworthy and honorable."

"I want people to know who Mr. Cosby really is: He has a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality and if you trust him then he has fooled you as well," she said.

Lublin was 23 when she met Cosby in 1989 in a Las Vegas hotel where he sought to evaluate her acting skills. He insisted she have a drink to relax.

"I trusted him because of who he was, and how well he was respected around the world," she said. "The taste was horrible and unfamiliar to me because I was not a drinker."

She fell into a stupor, remembers Cosby wrapping himself around her and stroking her hair and then she passed out. She woke up at home with no memory of how she got there although her car was in the driveway.

"Bill Cosby appears to think that rape is a joke," she said. "Let me tell you something, Bill, I'm not laughing."

She vowed to lead a campaign to press Nevada legislators to throw out the statute of limitations for sexual assault. Such a change would not help in her case or in the cases of most of the women who have accused Cosby.

"I will do everything in my power to change the law that protects criminals and re-victimizes the innocent," she said.

Allred said Cosby appears to think he's far from finished," alluding to a comment Cosby has made to some of his audiences on his current tour.

"He should know that we are also far from finished with him," Allred said.

I stopped reading at "Gloria Allred". When she represents you, you lose all credibility you once had.

When I see a person losing money right and left -- not only their own money, but money for their family's inheritance, and for former costars depending on residuals, and for current employees who depend on that person for their bread and butter -- and losing the reputation they worked so hard for decades to earn, yet they do nothing about it, not even taking on those accusers in court for libel and slander in order to restore their legacy, finances and reputation, instead just sit back and let them damage their entire career and reputation, that's the person who loses all credibility for me. Sadly, a common reaction is to blame the accusers, which usually only happens when the accusers happen to be women.

Using your logic, Tawana Brawley was raped by a white man, and she was telling the truth, just because she was a woman.

And also using your logic, the woman who claimed Fatty Arbuckle raped and killed Virginia Rappe was telling the truth, just because she was a woman.

I don't have no sympathy for Bill Cosby because he brought this on himself. I know some women lie to get money from male celebrities but there has been too many women coming forward to say Bill has put drugs in their drinks to make them unconscious so he can get them naked and touch on them. If he would've never done these things, these women would never be talking about him. He's a pervert and i'm very disappointed in him because i'm a fan. I'm not gonna stop liking him because of these accusations but i'm very disappointed because i didn't think he would do something like this. He comes out with a book called Come On People dissing ignorant blacks for not acting right and look at what he has done.
