Reminder from 2014: Don Lemon to Bill Cosby's rape accuser

[tenderfoot]

Yes, it really happened: CNN's Don Lemon suggested to Joan Tarshis, a woman who said she was raped by Bill Cosby, that she should have bitten the comedian's penis to stop the attack.

Here's how it happened, in an interview Tuesday night:

Lemon: Can I ask you this, because—and please, I don’t mean to be crude, OK?

Tarshis: Yeah.

Lemon: Because I know some of you—and you said this last night, that he—you lied to him and said, “I have an infection, and if you rape me, or if you do—if you have intercourse with me, then you will probably get it and give it to your wife.”

Tarshis: Right.

Lemon: And you said he made you perform oral sex.

Tarshis: Right.

Lemon: You—you know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you didn’t want to do it.

Tarshis: Oh. Um, I was kind of stoned at the time, and quite honestly, that didn’t even enter my mind. Now I wish it would have.

Lemon: Right. Meaning the using of the teeth, right?

Tarshis: Yes, that’s what I’m thinking you’re …

Lemon: As a weapon.

Tarshis: Yeah, I didn’t even think of it.
