Since when is Cosby legally blind?    He seemed pretty aware and chipper at a concert about 6 months ago .... I think it's possible he's faking it for public sympathy.  

 

(And yes, an actor can "fake" an eye exam!)

While I think what he has done is very wrong, my question is, If you were in a man,s room alone and he offered you three blue pills and wine, would you take it knowing his history?  Would you be stupid enough to take any pills you did not buy yourself and booze along with it?  He did wrong, but some of these women knew they were courting danger, that or really dumb.

Tinkrbll.....yep, ole Cosby was in the Augusta, GA area not long ago performing.  I did not go, blech....but, there were no reports of him not being able to see.  I think he was here about 2-3 months ago.

"Would you take it knowing his history"

 

The whole point to that is that women did NOT "know his history" because it never became wide public knowledge, it was hushed up. Hindsight is easy.

Long overdue, but better late than never.

@IamMrsG I understand your take.  Gloria is not the attorney for the gal who is suing, she represents some but not all.

@qvcaddition Those women were not aware of the others.  They were neither dumb or willing to go along with his dirty ways.

I could be mistaken, but I don't recall any of his victims indicating he offered them mysterious pills.  Most people wouldn't think twice about accepting a drink from a colleague back then, now.......not soo much.

I don't think he's as feeble as he wants people to think he is.
