Bill Cosby still owes $2.75 million in legal fees to California law firm, nearly a year after he attempted to challenge the bill but was ordered by a judge to pay up.
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, which represented Cosby from 2015 to 2016 following allegations of sexual misconduct, revealed in Manhattan Supreme Court papers that the comedian has not yet paid the hefty bill, according to Fox News.
Now the firm says the balance has increased to $2.98 million as result of the 10% interest the bill accrued.
Cosby attempted to challenge a California arbitration award that upheld nearly $7 million of a $9 million bill submitted by Quinn last year, but a judge ordered him to pay the remaining $2.75 million unpaid balance.
At that time, $4.3 million of the bill had already been paid by both Cosby and his insurer, AIG, according to CNN.
Cosby is currently serving three to 10 years in prison for a 2018 sexual assault conviction, but in a stunning decision that could test the legal framework of #MeToo cases, the comedian has since won the right to fight the conviction in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
The 82-year-old Cosby has been imprisoned in suburban Philadelphia for nearly two years after a jury convicted him of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home in 2004. He’s serving a three- to 10-year sentence.
