Janice is up for a fight …

In November, supermodel Janice Dickinson alleged that Bill Cosby raped her in a Lake Tahoe hotel room back in 1982. Immediately after, Cosby's attorney Martin Singer said the her story was "a lie," and claimed that it contradicted both her autobiography as well as an interview she did in 2002 with the New York Observer.

But now Dickinson is retaliating -- and suing Cosby for defamation, alleging that the formally beloved funnyman, who has been accused by over 30 women of rape and sexual assault, hurt her professionally and personally when he denied her rape accusations and called her a liar.

Dickinson has enlisted the help of famed attorney Lisa Bloom in waging her battle against the disgraced comedian. The model told CNN, "I want justice done. I want Lisa Bloom to depose Bill Cosby, get him on the stand and in front of a jury and let the law decide."

Bloom also commented on the case, "Calling Dickinson a liar is a defamatory statement under the law ... and that's the mistake Bill Cosby made."

Cosby's camp has yet to comment. Reportedly, Cosby's team has 30 days to respond to the lawsuit and Bloom plans to seek out his deposition "as early as possible."

We hope that Cosby gets everything he deserves …
