A former girlfriend of Sammy Davis Jr. is the latest woman to come forward with allegations that Bill Cosby raped her decades ago.

According to the New York Daily News, Katherine McKee alleges Cosby raped her in a Michigan hotel room in the early 1970s when she was on tour with Davis.

The actress and former Vegas showgirl said she partied regularly with Davis’ notorious Rat Pack in the late 1960s and had known Cosby for eight years when the alleged assault took place.

“Back then, I was Sammy’s road wife. He had an open marriage, and we were lovers. That’s how it went,” McKee told the Daily News.

She said Cosby, 77, ambushed her one night after she decided to extend her stay around a Detroit gig so she could visit family. Cosby was also in town and invited her to a party on a boat, she said.

“He was a buddy. He knew I was Sammy’s girl,” she said about accepting the invitation.

McKee, now 65, said Cosby asked her to get some ribs from local hotspot Checker Bar-B-Q and then pick him up at his hotel.

“I remember I walked in the door, and he had a robe and cap on. He took the ribs from my hands and just grabbed me,” McKee said of Cosby. “He spun me around, pulled my panties down, and just took it. We were still standing at the door when he attacked me. It was so fast and so shocking and so unbelievable.”

“To me, there was a different personality involved. He was a different man. It felt like a different person performing that act,” she said.

McKee said she quickly fled to the bathroom to compose herself. Cosby got dressed, and the two shared an icy silence in the elevator down to the lobby, where someone was waiting to escort them to the boat party.

“I never said a word. I was too uncomfortable about it,” she recalled. “Bill was so rude and cold toward me the rest of the night. I thought, ‘When this boat docks, I’m out of here.’ I just left.”

McKee joins more than 20 other women who have accused the comedian of sexual assault.
