Yea, no. She has defended and vilified his accusers for years. She’s a POS.

I'm guessing she wasn't a part of any of this. The side she saw of him was not the same man that his accusers saw.

She didn’t have to be a rapist to be a part of this. Where there is smoke there is fire. And there was YEARS of fire around Cosby. She is no different than Dottie Sandusky. But keep burying your head in the sand and defending her.

Not sad because of the guilty verdict. He clearly deserves it. I am certain he will serve time. There is no way he won’t with the charges. I feel deeply for his victims. They deserve justice.

It is sad because he was such an icon - the wonderful father on the Cosby show... the jello guy.... someone who spoke hard truths to the black community. And, the death of his son, which was tragic. It is sad because I feel duped by his onscreen persona.

Thank you for putting into words how many of us feel. His actions are horrifying but there is a real sense of loss of someone we thought of as "America's Dad."

You f'king idiots. He was an ACTOR. He was paid do "pretend". TV is NOT real!!

He was listed as one of the top black philanthropists several years ago. He has given millions to historically black colleges and donated to a multitude of other charities.
This in no way makes up for his crimes, but you need to understand why so many people are struggling with his conviction.
He did some absolutely horrible things. And now that these things are out in the open, it is upsetting to try to understand how a man who seems so giving could be so evil.

$50 he is dead in 2 years.

There are many more worthy and clear cut cases of abuse and harassment, just not ones as sure to make headlines. I think the questionable character of his accusers (Janice Dickinson, et. al) will make it harder for honest victims to get justice. I also think there have been questionable decisions from the bench that will result in the verdict being overthrown on appeal.

What are you talking about? He drugged and raped unwilling women. 62 of them.

I honestly have no idea what "smoke" that woman saw. She was probably heavily in denial or thought that what was happening was a consensual thing and she didn't want to know about it.

I would be stunned if she thought he was drugging and raping unsuspecting women. No way. Not Bill Cosby. I remember when those accusations first came out they seemed so far fetched. I just knew that he would be exonerated. I grew up watching Bill Cosby, he was like the perfect all American dad and husband.

Obviously he had a hidden, private side to himself that he did not want to share with his fans, his friends, his colleagues, his kids and, yes, his wife. You might be too young to remember that Cosby was a charismatic, likable and very well loved guy. For this nightmarish stuff to pop up in his older years was just a shock to everyone. He was the last person in the world you would think would do something like that.

A lot of the stars did that in the 70s. They dated kids too (teens) and everyone lauded them for it.

Please name the “stars who did that in the 70s.”
