November 19, 201411 yr I can't find myself getting up on a crate to defend him just because some of the accusers are sketchy. I'll wait to see what actually comes out on this. One thing to remember was just how popular and powerful he was at one time and how hard it would have been for one person to have made allegations like this and to have been taken seriously. But once one person sticks there head out there others will normally follow, so I'm not dismissing the allegations just yet.
November 19, 201411 yr Chocolate pudding pop...always room for jello...come on the jokes could write themselves! And they would be funnier than any material he ever did.
November 19, 201411 yr i never cared for him , couldnt even name the hit show he had in the 80's or was it 90's ? He has said some comments about people of his own race I liked -- encouraging men to be DADS , not just sperm donors . or something to that effect . The Cosby Show?

But once one person sticks there head out there others will normally follow, so I'm not dismissing the allegations just yet. And thus a target. I'm not saying what did or didn't happen because I don't know, just saying the rich and famous get targeted by this kind of thing a lot by people looking for a quick payday, and they sometimes get it.
November 19, 201411 yr Sorry, but I'm really sick of trial in the court of public opinion. I'll let the real courts (civil and/or criminal) sort it out before passing any judgement.
November 19, 201411 yr As far as Dickinson, it's ALL about money! CBS wanted to interview her, but she said only of she got paid. A washed up nobody attempting to ruin someone just for money?
November 19, 201411 yr As far as Dickinson' date=' it's ALL about money! CBS wanted to interview her, but she said only of she got paid. A washed up nobody attempting to ruin someone just for money?[/quote'] I'm sensing you don't like her. Hell, I don't like her either but aren't you casting the same aspersions?
November 20, 201411 yr I'm sensing you don't like her. Hell' date=' I don't like her either but aren't you casting the same aspersions?[/quote']Talk to my lawyer, work out a deal with him and ill talk. Me! No not at all! If she seriously has a real issue with Cosby then she wouldn't ask for money for an interview. Nothing but a money grab by this has been. It's all about money and attention. Too many people get ruined because of people like her, and it hurts legitimate allegations.

Ummmm...I understand...it's complicated...."The Cosby Show".

Nothing but a money grab by this has been. It's all about money and attention. Too many people get ruined because of people like her, and it hurts legitimate allegations. How many allegations does it take to make something legitimate in your world? I guess the woman who settled with Cosby in 2006 was just on a money grab too? Bill Cosby must be the most unlucky man in the world.
November 20, 201411 yr There has to be something to it in my mind. Too many coming out now to not seriously wonder. He has alienated a certain segment of the black community over the years and they will not come to his defense whether they believe he did or didn't. I am not proposing he has been right or wrong in his admonishment of black males in poverty, just that he will not get a lot of support from them. Their mindset is generally negative to him. Interesting article by Bomani Jones on this. Some language warnings before you open. I will post it in a few.
November 20, 201411 yr Bomani Jones article, again a few words that some might find offensive in the article. The Death of Bill Cosby's Legacy | Playboy
November 20, 201411 yr Sorry, but I'm really sick of trial in the court of public opinion. I'll let the real courts (civil and/or criminal) sort it out before passing any judgement. You mean like the girl that worked for the Temple Women's basketball team that he paid off to keep the trial out of civil court?
November 20, 201411 yr At the very least a married Cosby used his position in the acting community to have sexual relations with young women he told he would help in the industry. Are we really going to think all 15 of these women are lying? Why would the highly successful retired attorney lie? What benefit is it to her? It isn't a money grab for an extremely wealthy person like her.
