Woman Called Cosby ‘Deadbeat Billionaire’
The woman who claims to be Bill Cosby’s daughter once prepared a news release calling him a “deadbeat billionaire father,” but never made it public, the prosecution said at her extortion trial in New York City. Autumn Jackson’s co-defendant, Jose Medina, also sent letters making veiled references to Cosby to President Clinton, network executives and sponsors, according to trial evidence. The letters spurred Cosby to go to authorities. The two were arrested in January in New York City after they signed an agreement saying they would receive $24 million from Cosby in exchange for not going public with her story.
