Beverly Johnson's Ex Beau Sues CNN for Defamation

READ THIS! We can't say that we believe Beverly Johnson's ex-boyfriend's Mark Burk story. He's stating that she never mentioned the Bill Cosby rape attempt to him. Well, just as she did not mention it to her manager, Don Gibble, so was the same as her ex-boyfriend. People act like its easy to tell others about being sexually violated. It is not and most women do not tell a soul and if they do, many times its dismissed. This is on average because of the shame of it. Also, for a woman like herself to expose a well known celebrity like Bill Cosby, would have ruined her chance of a career too. We don't understand why its so difficult for others to understand that there are many consequences to telling it along with the lack of support many may not get if they do. These woman aren't getting any money out of this. They want Bill Cosby to deal with his demons for once and for all.

There's a report coming out of TMZ that states Beverly Johnson's ex-boyfriend, Mark Burk, is suing CNN for defamation. Burk is the ex-boyfriend, and was living with Johnson from 2006 to 2009.
It was reported in December 2014 that CNN  wanted to feature Johnson in an interview to learn more about her accusations against Cosby. Meanwhile, Marty Singer, the comedian's lawyer, and his team reportedly urged the channel to also include the model's former lover to get the complete picture.
Cosby's lawyer later claimed that Burk revealed some surprising details during the session with CNN, which include claims that Johnson never said a word about the alleged sexual harassment and even appeared to admire the famous comedian. Singer also claimed that the channel tried to manipulate him to corroborate Johnson's claims and eventually terminated the conversation when he refused to change his statement, as reported by TMZ.
So, later, CNN fired back at Singer's allegations by pointing out that Burk is an unreliable source of information. CNN questioned the credibility of the model's ex by noting that the man has criminal records, and was even issued a restraining order by Johnson multiple times, reported Macro Insider. The news show also shared that Burk reportedly filed a bogus lawsuit against Johnson for palimony.
Burk retaliated by suing CNN for issuing the aforementioned statements against him. The defamation case of Johnson's ex-beau reportedly amounted to US$19 million. CNN has yet to release a response regarding this legal issue.
