Netflix has postponed its scheduled broadcast later this month of a stand-up comedy special starring Bill Cosby, the latest salvo fired against the comedian who has been accused by several women of rape and sexual assault.

The announcement by Netflix on Tuesday came just hours after model and TV host Janice Dickinson accused Cosby of sexually assaulting her in 1982.

"At this time we are postponing the launch of the new standup special "Bill Cosby 77," a Netflix spokesman said in a statement. The special, taped on the performer's 77th birthday, had been scheduled to air November 28.

The statement neither gave a reason for the postponement nor did the company specify if the special would be rescheduled.
