Two more women publicly accuse Bill Cosby of sexual assault in Gloria Allred press conference

As Bill Cosby prepares to wrap up his "Far From Finished" tour this weekend, two more women have come forward in a joint press conference with attorney Gloria Allred to accuse the comedian of sexual assault.

Accusers Lili Bernard and Sammie Mays shared their allegations at a New York City press conference Friday afternoon, with both women relaying details of their stories that we've seen in other accusers' accounts.

Bernard, for her part, played Mrs. Minnifield on an episode of The Cosby Show's final season, and claims that Cosby drugged and raped her under the guise of mentoring her for the aforementioned role.

According to Bernard, Cosby was initially comforting and welcoming to her, complimenting her on her various skills. 

"After he had won my complete trust and adoration he drugged me and raped me," Bernard said in a statement Friday.

Bernard also claims that the last time she saw Cosby was in 1992, when he hold her that "as far as I'm concerned, Bernard, you're dead." Bernard claims that she took that as a threat and "feared for my life."

Mays, on the other hand, says Cosby drugged her in the mid-1980s, when she was a writer covering the National Association of Television Program Executives convention in New Orleans. Cosby allegedly invited her back to his hotel suite, followed by the familiar narrative that has emerged in many other Cosby allegations:

Once in Cosby's hotel suite, Mays says, Cosby mixed a drink for her with his back to her. After taking two big swigs, Mays claims, "The next thing I remember when I awoke, from my state of unconsciousness I seemed to have been drooling, and was sloppily slouched in the chair with barely the edge of my bottom in it.

According to Mays, her shirt was unbuttoned and her bra was slid to the side, exposing her breasts, and her belt had been "unhooked and re-hooked, left loose around my hips."

Cosby has never been charged with a crime in connection to the allegations he faces. He has repeatedly issued denials through his representatives.

Last week, three new accusers stepped forward to accuse the comedian of sexual assault.
