This maybe a stretch... Personally I kinda knew something was off about Bill Cosby. I love both of his shows but I am talking about the person not the doctor and father on "The Cosby Show" and "A Different World". Rape is Rape plain and simple but if he did this I hope he is willing to atone for his actions and pray for forgiveness. But I always had in the back of my mind of why Lisa Bonet suddenly left the show to join another... Was it because of his actions or hers... Now I am just starting rumors and conjecture. But seriously if he did this I will be looking at him differently.

What a disgusting excuse for a human being.

I wonder what all those people that defended him will say now. He deserves to rot in hell

The "it would embarrass our client" bullshit is what's really driving me up the wall. I mean, really.

I wonder what all those people that defended him will say now.

The same thing they always say: it's the women's fault. That's what rape apologists do.

They'll just find someone else to martyr. Many of those, especially those who used him to attack the black community, never cared about him anyway.

Jill Scott, one of Cosby's defenders, washes her hands of him now that the proof is from his own mouth.

This is as close as he'll get to a conviction, and it's enough for me.

Of course, as I say that it's not about me - it's about the victims, who will never get much justice. So I hope this public shaming will be enough for them.

SMH.

Those who were defending him knew all along that he did it, they just didn't want to believe that he did.

Deadspin has the documents.

I think many of us never wanted to believe it, which is why I think many turned a blind eye to the vague stories in years prior. I certainly didn't want to believe it; I grew up with Cosby's work, his shows, which hold up. He was America's Dad. But when it all came back to the forefront last year it was too much to bear or deny.

Yes, to all of this.

I really hate it when people minimize death by comparing it to things like this, but to me, this is akin to a death. Just like *that*, it's over, no more... no more chances of reunions, fun interviews, one last shot at sitcoms, films. Not unless it's entirely on his dime, uploaded to his comments blocked YouTube channel or whatever. He'll always have friends, supporters, but Hollywood at large will not make Polanski and Allen-like concessions for him. The sheer number of victims blows that possibility out of the water. I hope he's enjoyed the flowers he's been given thus far, because there won't be (many/any?) more in his lifetime. I do wonder how black media outlets like BET and TV/Radio One, as well as the NAACP (Image) have handled all of this, if there's been a lot of BTS conflict in terms of vocal support vs. condemnation, turning blind eyes...

Until last year, I hadn't heard any of the allegations against him, but I wasn't surprised he was accused. Something always seemed not right about him and I never was much of a fan of his, The Cosby Show was great, but I never cared for him. He is definitely finished now, there isn't really anyone who will work with him on screen or behind the scenes and the Cosby Show won't be in heavy rotation like it used to be for a very long time, if ever.

Not much of a surprise that the rape apologist is still defending Cosby. Another reason I don't bother with that trash show.

Something good actually came of this.
