Bill Cosby

Reever — Sat, 08 Jul 2017 18:47:27 GMT

Anyone else deeply offended by Bill Cosby's actions and his subsequent blasé attitude. He has shown no remorse. I just read today another of my former heroes Bobby Knight was investigated by the FBI for groping two women. In my opinion, these celebrities get preferential treatment by the law. I used to watch the Cosby Show in re runs but refuse to watch this harasser. Just disgusted.

TV One and Bounce TV have recently started showing Cosby Show again, it is on all the time now.

I can never watch him again...

I wont watch him again, either.

I am glad to see universities stripping him of his degrees.

When under oath he admitted drugging his first "conquest" I realized that he was a disgusting human being.

I can't believe they declared a mistrial. The man is a predator. He raped over 20 women.

@Reever He wasn't being tried for anything but the one case.

And his raping other women hasn't been proven in a court of law, nor has he been convicted for it.

See my thread about the mistrial for more comments about him that you were seeking in your first post.

I know it just just accusations but where there is tht much smoke their is fire. I feel celebrities get a special treatment.

@Reever I'm not sure if he is blase so much about the whole thing but I also haven't been following his face all the time nor have I heard him speaking out.

Since he is only on trial for one instance, the rest of the accusations will never be tried.

This newest accuser kept seeing him after the alleged incident so I doubt there will be a conviction.

@Pearlee What troubles me about the case is the legal it is setting for decades old cases under a deposition seal being opened by a prosecutor. The former prosecutor refused to try this case, this one gets it opened. To me it sets the precedenttone for no longer being truthful when a depo is declared sealed. There is no constitutional protection then against self incrimination.

Clicking thur channels last week, I saw that reruns are being shown....and was very surprised!! You'd think that the TV networks would get as far away as possible from that show!!

Re: Bill Cosby

Cakers3 — Sat, 08 Jul 2017 22:11:50 GMT

I'm surprised his show is still airing but then again a lot of people love him and believe he is innocent of all accusations.

Guess it's all up to each person to decide.

I loved the show way back when but now there are too many other new and interesting shows to enjoy even if I had an interest in seeing Cosby again.

I can see how they could easily have a mistrial and I bet if they retry him they'll have another. There's no proof he did anything... no witnesses, no DNA evidence, nothing. Just his word against her word over something that happened years ago, and with no consideration of the claims of other women. There's no doubt in most peoples' minds that he's guilty but proving it is another matter.

I get as disgusted with his wife Camille as I do with him. She knows what he did and chooses to lie about it.

Well put, @Kachina624

I was irked long ago when he started his sanctimonious lecturing to people of color. In hindsight and knowing now how treated women, those "lectures" reek of hypocrisy and of something that you wouldn't want to step in.

@Shelbelle TV One has been airing the re-runs of Cosby for YEARS. Way before any of this stuff ever came up in the media. I watch that channel so I know this to be true.

Re: Bill Cosby

itiswhatitis — Sun, 09 Jul 2017 02:55:59 GMT

TV One also runs the spin off "A Different World" as well.

@Reever

No idea who Bobby Knight is but the fact that Cosby has made settlements with women means he'll gladly pay for their silence. For he & Camille, the "image" is everything.

Do you know these two personally? If you don't, I don't think you can know this.
