In December 2014, Tamara Green, a former attorney, filed a defamation lawsuit against Bill Cosby, represented by Attorney Joseph Cammarata of Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. Ms. Green alleges that Mr. Cosby sexually assaulted her in the 1970s; however, the statute of limitations for the alleged assault has expired. The defamation claim arises from statements made by Mr. Cosby’s representatives, who publicly branded Ms. Green as a liar after she came forward with her allegations in 2005. The lawsuit seeks to address the damage to Ms. Green’s reputation and provide her an opportunity to have her day in court.
