Elvira Actress Cassandra Peterson Claims She Was Sexually Assaulted By Wilt Chamberlain

Circa 1970's: Wilt Chamberlain (13) of the Lakers watches Dick Barnett (12) of the Knicks during the regular season game between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers at The Forum in Los Angeles, CA.

Wilt Chamberlain’s on court records are well known, the man once scored 100 points in a single game. His off the court conquests are also legendary, as it’s been reported Wilt has slept with over 10,000 women. Now the man known as Wilt The Stilt is being accused of sexual assault. Cassandra Peterson, best known for playing Elvira, is accusing the late NBA legend of sexually assaulting her. The woman known as Elvira opened up about the alleged incident in her new memoir, “Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark.”

Actress Cassandra Peterson claims late NBA player Wilt Chamberlain had forced her to perform oral sex on him.

Via Daily Mail:

“‘When a 7-foot-1, 300-pound man has his hand wrapped around your neck, there’s really not a lot you can do,’ Peterson wrote.

She also references Chamberlain’s memoir where he detailed his history of romantic relationships with women – which he claimed to be 20,000.

‘I had to wonder how many of those women actually consented to having sex with him,’ Peterson added.”

She also shared her story of Wilt’s sexual assault with People.com:

“Why didn’t I try to scream, fight back, or get away? When a seven- foot-one, 300-pound man has his hand wrapped around your neck, there’s really not a lot you can do,” she writes in the book. “Should I have reported him to the police? Are you kidding? What chance do you think a former showgirl/ out-of-work actress would have against a sports superstar?”

Chamberlain died of congestive heart failure at 63 on October 12, 1999.

Tough beat for Wilt’s legacy.
