Mpls. Woman Among Those Accusing Cosby Of Sexual Harassment

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A Minnesota-native is among the newest accusers saying they were sexually assaulted by actor and comedian Bill Cosby.

Eden Tirl, 49, grew up in south Minneapolis, according to the Star Tribune.

Tirl went on to become a model and actress and had a small role on 'The Cosby Show."

In between shooting the show in 1989, Tirl says she was alone with Cosby in a dressing room when he inappropriately touched her.

"Bill, you are Jello pudding pops and Fat Albert to me! You are my childhood," Tirl said in a statement. "He barked back instantly to me, 'Don't say that. They all say that!'"

Tirl said Cosby also asked her on several occasions to come home with him.

Cosby has not been charged with any crime.

He is expected to give sworn testimony in October in a lawsuit from a woman accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was 15.
