The convicted sex offender has repudiated the settlement made by his insurance company AIG with the plaintiffs in the defamation suit against him.

Bill Cosby claims he was not informed or consulted, and he protests his innocence of any wrongdoing.

"Mr. Cosby did not settle any cases with anyone. He is not paying anything to anyone, and he is still pursuing his counterclaims. AIG decided to settle these cases (...) Mr. Cosby vehemently denies the allegations brought against him in these defamation suits and he maintains his innocence."

Cosby’s lawyers have filed an appeal to overturn his conviction for sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, and the process can take as long as a year to be resolved.
