William Morris Endeavor want nothing to do with Billy Cosby or a sexual assault case against the much-accused comedian.
In paperwork filed in LA Superior Court yesterday, WME asserted that they should not be a co-defendant in Linda Ridgway-Whitedeer’s claims that the man once known as “America’s Dad” forced her to perform oral sex on him back in 1971.
Having first went public with the alleged assault in 2015 as dozens of women came forward against Cosby, the plaintiff’s civil suit of September this year says that “at the time of the sexual assault, the William Morris Agency knew, or should have had knowledge of Defendant’s repeated acts of sexual assault.”
Now, the agency that Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell created out of the 2009 melding of William Morris and Endeavor proclaims they had “no control” over what did or did not happen 52 years ago.

Sam Waterston, who starred as Jack McCoy from 1994 to 2010, returns to shore up the “law” side, with Anthony Anderson’s Detective Kevin Bernard back on the side of “order.”
The show also adds Hugh Dancy as Ada Nolan Price, Odelya Halevi as Ada Samantha Maroun, Camryn Manheim as Lieutenant Kate Dixon, and Jeffrey Donovan as Detective Frank Cosgrove, Bernard’s brusque and often abrasive partner.
Both Waterston and Anderson, who was a regular for the last two years of the original series, jumped at the chance to return and were well aware that creator Dick Wolf has been trying to get a revival going for years.
