A California appellate court ruled Friday in favor of actress and former supermodel Janice Dickinson in her 2015 suit against comedian Bill Cosby over comments his then-attorney Marty Singer made to the press Nov. 20 and Nov. 21, 2014.

Singer’s comments were made after Dickinson was interviewed on “Entertainment Tonight,” in which she said she had been drugged and raped by the comedian in the 1980s. Singer responded by issuing press statements that Dickinson’s story was a fabrication and a lie.
