Over the last few weeks, nearly twenty women have come forward and accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault, and while the comedian hasn't made a public appearance since the news broke, he has finally acknowledged the scandal with a pair of tweets.

"Thank you @WhoopiGoldberg," he tweeted last night, followed by another message at Jill Scott this morning which read, "Thank you @MissJillScott, from the Cosby Family."

Goldberg defended Cosby on The View last month, and Scott took to her Twitter account to slam users and the press for ruining the comedian's "magnificent legacy" on Monday.

Today three more women came forward and accused Cosby of sexual assault, and not only did famed attorney Gloria Allred sit down with them at a press conference in Los Angeles, but she demanded that Cosby appear in court -- or pony up $100 million.

Allred is representing the women, one of whom was set to testify in Andrea Constand's 2005 lawsuit against Cosby, which was later settled. The other two women had never spoken to the media before.

"The public needs to know if Bill Cosby is a saint or a sexual predator," Allred said, stating that it could be in Cosby's best interest to waive the statute of limitations defense and appear before a judge. Allred added, "If Cosby believes that all of the women are being untruthful, then this is his opportunity to prove it -- what could be fairer than that." And if he doesn't agree to that, Allred's second proposal was that the former sitcom star should put the sum of $100 million in a fund for the victims.

Barbara Bowman, who was also set to appear as a witness in the civil case, wrote an op-ed piece in the Washington Post last month about her ordeal, which essentially launched the media frenzy. Former supermodel Janice Dickinson appeared on Entertainment Tonight and more recently CNN and dropped the bombshell that Cosby had drugged and raped her.

Earlier today it was reported that another woman, Judith Huth, sued Cosby for sexual battery, and she claims she was molested by the comedian when she was just 15 years old. Huth claims she and a friend met Cosby for drinks, at which point he took her to the Playboy Mansion and forced her to perform a sex act with him.

Cosby's attorney, Marty Singer, denied that his client was responsible, but since his initial statement on November 21, he has yet to speak out again. "The new, never-before-heard claims from women who have come forward in the past two weeks with unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40, or even 50 years ago have escalated far past the point of absurdity," Singer said.
