The disgraced actor, 88, made the admission under oath in part of a disposition in a lawsuit filed by one of his rape accusers, Donna Motsinger, according to new court documents obtained by a news outlet on Wednesday, January 28.
Bill Cosby Was Given Prescription by Doctor at Poker Table
Bill Cosby allegedly received the prescription from an OBGYN he played poker with.
The Cosby Show alum reportedly "never" took a pill himself, and was provided the prescription by an Dr. Leroy Amar, an OBGYN who attended a poker game hosted at Cosby's house prior to 1972.
The OBGYN's license was later revoked in 1979, according to the news outlet.

Bill Cosby Is Trying to Get the Lawsuit Thrown Out
Bill Cosby is working to get Donna Motsinger's lawsuit thrown out.
"Next thing she knew, she was going in and out of consciousness while two men attending to Mr. Cosby were putting her in the limousine with Mr. Cosby," her legal team said in a statement. "In the limousine, Mr. Cosby sat near the window and put his arms around her. The last thing Ms. Motsinger recalls were flashes of light. She woke up in her house with all her clothes off, except her underwear on – no top, no bra, and no pants. She knew she had been drugged and raped by Bill Cosby.”
According to the newly released court documents, Cosby's quaaludes were round, white pills and the entertainer is trying to get the lawsuit thrown out.
