The defamation suit filed Monday states that the comedian "never drugged defendant and her story is a lie." It also says Johnson is using the media attention to revive her career.
Johnson alleges that Cosby drugged her cappuccino in the 1980s — but she realized what was happening and made a ruckus, forcing Cosby to put her in a taxi and send her home.
"I was woozy; my speech was slurred. ... I knew that I was in danger," she told ABC News in 2014.
Cosby wants Johnson to publicly retract her accusations, pull copies of her memoir from stores and print a new edition of the book — without mention of the alleged incident.

The number of women accusing Cosby of sexual assault and drugging is over 50. The comedian has not been convicted of a sex crime thus far.
