The list of women filing sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby continues to grow, but there's one name you will not find on there.

Former co-star Raven-Symoné, who rose to fame playing Cosby's adorable step-granddaughter Olivia on the hit television sitcom The Cosby Show, has taken to Instagram today to slam rumors stemming from a made-up, but highly tractioned report on HipHipHangover.com (which brands itself as a satirical website) that claims she was molested by the actor in the past.

With a throwback photo of herself on the show (which has also become a popular meme image), Raven writes, "I was NOT taking advantage of by Mr. Cosby when I was on the Cosby Show! I was practically a baby on that show and this is truly a disgusting rumor that I want no part of! Everyone on that show treated me with nothing but kindness. Now keep me out of this!"

Janice Dickinson is the latest woman to publicly accuse the comedian of sexual assault, claiming that back in 1982, she was raped by the comedian. Cosby's attorney Marty Singer issued a statement calling the former model's allegation "a complete lie."

"You can confirm with Harper Collins that she never claimed that Mr. Cosby raped her, that no attorney representing Bill Cosby tried to kill the story...and no one tried to prevent anything she wanted to say about Bill Cosby in her book," he said in a statement. "There is documentary proof that Janice Dickinson is fabricating and lying about Bill Cosby."

Furthermore, E! News has confirmed that NBC has pulled the plug on Cosby's proposed sitcom comeback and ceased development on the project. This comes after Netflix postponed Bill Cosby 77, a new standup special. The special, which was taped on Cosby's 77th birthday earlier this year, was set to debut on November 28.

(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
