Add Lou Ferrigno's wife to growing list of Bill Cosby accusers

Carla Ferrigno, wife of The Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno, is the latest woman to accuse Bill Cosby of sexual assault.

She told The Daily Mail on Thursday that the comedian tried to sexually assault her in 1967, when she was in her teens but over 18. Ferrigno's date suggested they meet up with the Cosbys in Los Angeles. After a movie, the group played pool. When Cosby and Ferrigno were alone, he grabbed her hard and forced a kiss. She ran.

"No one has ever been that physically violent with me," she told The Daily Mail. "I was stunned. I was frozen. I took all my body strength and used both of my arms to stop him and push him away from me. He was so forceful."
