Yeah. That's how blue pill most of society is.

If seems as if when men have females in their lives, as time progresses then these past females wanna ruin his life. They usually wait till the men are successful, then the slander starts.

This is going to make more men not wanting anything to do with them.

I don't understand why he just didn't respond to the questions, seems like he could have at least denied the accusations. If it was just one woman you could maybe question the actions, I' sure some are just jumping on the wagon but this amount should raise the level of legitimacy.

What exactly is suspicious about being too traumatized to talk about it publicly?

Furthermore, this isn't the first time anyone has come forward. This is just the first time so many have come forward at once.

I have absolutely no idea whether or not any of this is true, but all this talk about ruining an old man's career makes me want to ask why anyone would immediately think a woman (multiple women) would want to be known for this rape scandal unless they were telling the truth.

I mean, maybe an individual might (especially for financial gain, but there is none here), but multiple women? That's a hell of a conspiracy.

Cosby needs to be sharing a cell with OJ Simpson.

I find it interesting how fast how easily people are manipulated by the media. If the media condemns Bill Cosby, millions stand up and say Amen. However, if, in the face of many accusations of sexual misconduct and even assault, the media gives Bill Clinton a pass, then the masses also ignore. Then you have the case of Tiger Woods. No accusations of rape, just a large number of lovers. Media condemns and all of a sudden, there goes his fan base and his endorsement contracts. Then you have Magic Johnson and Wilt Chamberlin, who supposedly had a whole lot of different women, no problem for the media. People are funny.

These are rape accusations, not consensual sex.

I understand that when one has fame and celebrity status, they can become a target for an easy payday! But given the numerous accusations, where there is smoke, there is fire! My question is why come out now? If someone was violated in this way, why not say something after it happened? F*** the damn settlement money! Take the SOB down! The accusations, could be true, or not, but it really wouldn't suprise me if they were true. Unfortunately, false accusations or coming out years later does a disservice to other victims of a heinous crime like rape!

1. There was a case settled in 2004

2. There have been multiple accusations

3. All accusers (oddly) report the same scenario of drugging and then rape. Is that not odd?

4. All accusers risk legal action of defamation if not true


Bill Cosby is just another Tom Cat. Is there any famous black personality that does not support the stereotype?

Need likely didn't enter into it. He had power and power often leads to a sense of entitlement.

As much as I wish otherwise, 16 different reports makes this hard to ignore.
