The 60-year-old former model insists his team lied when they claimed she invented the story that he drugged and forced himself on her.
But Janice appears hellbent of proving her version of events – in which she details how the now 77-year-old penetrated her vaginally and anally while she was unconscious after being drugged on a visit to Lake Tahoe back in 1982.
Janice also alleges that she snapped a pic of the ageing comic wearing a multicoloured robe in the room where the supposed attack took place.
Ms Dickinson is one of more than 30 women to accuse Cosby of sexual assault.
Their legal battle has long since run, but Janice has lodged a fresh claim for defamation and emotional distress after Bill's people released a statement suggesting she had fabricated the entire story.
She told Entertainment Tonight: "I'm suing Bill Cosby for justice and vindication.
"I was drugged and raped – drugged and raped – by Bill Cosby.
"And the fact that he and his spokespeople have called me a liar – referring to remarks that I’ve made – it’s just not correct. I want to fight this.
"I’m not being paid anything monetarily to do this, it’s just the right thing to do."
Janice's lawyer, Lisa Bloom, added: "What sparked this lawsuit is Bill Cosby through his representatives calling Janice Dickinson a liar. and Janice is refusing to be re-victimized.
"She alleges she was drugged and raped by Bill Cosby, and then re-victimized again when he called her a liar."
The lawsuit – obtained by US gossip site TMZ – she is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
