Newly unsealed court documents are dragging Bill Cosby right back into the center of public outrage and this time the words are coming directly from him.
According to sworn deposition testimony that resurfaced after being unsealed on January 28 2026, Bill Cosby admitted under oath that he obtained Quaaludes with the intent of giving them to women he wanted to have sex with. The testimony dates back to a sealed civil case but its contents are now sending shockwaves across social media and beyond.
In the deposition Cosby, now 88, acknowledged that he received the prescription drugs from a gynecologist he met during a poker game in the 1970s. He further admitted that the prescription was refilled multiple times and confirmed that the drugs were meant to be given to women during sexual encounters.
The revelations have reignited anger from critics and supporters of survivors who say the documents confirm what dozens of women have alleged for years. While Cosby has long maintained that his encounters were consensual, the language in the testimony paints a disturbing picture that many believe undermines that defense.
Online reactions were swift and emotional with many calling the testimony a clear admission while others expressed disbelief that the information was ever sealed in the first place. The unsealed records are now fueling renewed conversations about accountability power and how long influential figures can evade consequences.
For many the resurfacing of Bill Cosby’s own words feels like a grim reminder that some truths were always hiding in plain sight.
