I cried when I heard the news. Tears of joy for justice being served! As I posted months ago, I worked with this man and saw first-hand the way he treated women. I had co-workers who worked more closely and frequently with him than I did, and I saw what happened when they tried to speak up.

He is despicable. He's an entitled and arrogant man who thought he could do whatever he wanted, no matter what impact it had on another human being. And apart from what he did to women, his personality could not be more different than the character he portrayed on The Cosby Show. He's rude, obnoxious, and nasty, verbally abusive to pretty much everyone, both men and women.

His reputation within the entertainnment industry has been pretty awful for a very long time, and with good reason. I am so happy that he was finally told today that would he did was NOT okay. I hope he is held fully accountable.

Interesting

If you knew him and worked with him (as I did), you wouldn't feel this way.

House arrest, IMO, is absolutely not enough. That's hardly any punishment at all. I would like to see him serve jail time - just to send the message home and get it through that thick head of his that he is not going to get away with what he did to many women. He'll never get 30 years, but I really hope he gets something. I was there. I knew what was happening. I saw how rude and awful and inappropriate he was, and there is not one shred of doubt in my mind about the truthfulness of these women.

This is not about flirting or being thin-skinned. This is about a man who was a predator, who used and abused his power to take advantage of women in the worst ways possible. Many of them DID speak up when it happened, and it led to either nothing or the end of their own careers. Me Too is not about jumping on the bandwagon. It's about women coming forward after decades of not having a voice.

It's easy to judge when you only know someone from seeing them on television. And of course you're entitled to your own opinion. But I am hugely emotional about this today because it's long overdue.

Has anyone broached the possibility of chemical castration? In my opinion he is a predator who should not be allowed to walk the streets.

Why at this point? He needs to be inside a place with thick walls, bars on the windows & the doors.

I think people are not aware of the many men of money and power who possessed date-rape drugs in the 1970s and after, using them whenever they were casually attracted to someone.

That is why there are so many women affected.

Heinous. Really despicable to treat people like a commodity.

Oh, maybe it was his lawyer who had the meltdown and called someone an a-hole?

I should pay attention and not try to do a few things at once if I'm going to post what's going on.

No, it was him all right. What a piece of trash.

I feel bad for the cast of the Cosby show. They just announced that they're taking the show off the air everywhere, which means the supporting cast won't be receiving any residuals.

I would love to hear what they really have to say about him. Maybe they will write a book after he's dead.

I will be surprised if he serves significant time. Lawyers, fame and money seem to go a long way in the justice system.

And now Tom Brokaw has been named as an offender by an NBC correspondent from a couple decades back. Will this never end?
