I posted on Time magazine's facebook page about how Rashad's testimony really has no bearing on this since she wouldn't have been present for the alleged rapes and Cosby wouldn't have made his perversions known to his costar. It's nice that she's speaking on his behalf, but it doesn't do anything to prove his innocence or guilt. They're just the words of an actress who worked with him.

I'm now being accused of being a "racist" and someone brought up the fact that I "brushed under the rug" the fact that Stephen Collins molested children. One person asked why the testimonies of the "Bill Cosby Whores" means anything, then. Is this what our world has become? Why would I discuss Collins in a thread about Cosby? And how does standing up for the rights of victims of rape make me a "racist?" This world has truly become ass backward and painful to live in.

Sad and scary at the same time.

When people are more inclined to call the victims names than to listen to what they went through, well, that's the point at which we know society is pretty much screwed. I'm sure that's what a lot of predators count on, too.

Take notice objectors mostly men; not society, who wouldn't dream of ever drugging and raping a women. And then cases like Duke lacrosse or recent Rolling Stone article, realizing this could be themselves falsely accused, so they go on the defensive. Nothing said here will give them a more objective point of view.

If these women really wanted to sink Bill Cosby, they would have done it BEFORE the statue of limitations expired. If this is a conspiracy, why wait until your allegations are toothless - when there is little recourse?


Great point why not sink this guy before the statute of limitations is up? Why not get the money back then after it happened. They'd be sitting pretty now and no need to come forward. None.

Why now? Why these particular women? Why did they wait all these years to "destroy" him? Why not hit him up for the cash then? Why Beverly Johnson who has money, fame and reputation?
People's actions are based on some motivating factor. Why do they want to destroy him specifically? Theories please.

OMG. Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I didn't say he couldn't have done it because he is conservative. I said there are those who will want to destroy him because he is a conservative black man. He doesn't fit the mold.

Oh, I see. So, it is liberals who are out to destroy him by getting these women together to make these claims of crimes from decades ago? Drag his name through the mud, ruin his reputation, all for some very good reason, no doubt. I guess we will find out soon, 'eh? Now it makes sense.

Right...Conservatives don't come in a variety of ethnicities.

You're baiting, making this a race issue.

I kind of like the idea that we believe the 'actor'; but we don't believe 25 women from different walks of life. Of course I know that actors never lie or make up stories - give me a break! Isn't that what acting is all about?

These women will be lucky if they ever see a dime out of this. They have already lived through the embarrassment, humility, degradation. Hopefully they will get some satisfaction from the ordeal that they went through. Even counting the newest to come forward; I seriously doubt that law will hurt Dr. Huxtable - he is innocent until proven guilty. However; these women have changed our view and the view of sponsors and stations - we will never look at him the same.
