Legendary comedian, Bill Cosby put a smile on our faces in the 80s and 90s with his iconic Cosby Show. He was adored and revered until recently when his legacy was shredded with series of rape allegations.
He has remained tight-lipped over the incident but recently his daughter granted an interview to the media where she dismissed all the allegations against her father, saying the whole scandal is fueled by racism.
The 79-year-old comedian spoke out on whether he agreed with his daughter Ensa‘s recent statement that racism played a role in his scandal.
He said, “Could be, could be. I can’t say anything, but there are certain things that I look at, and I apply to the situation, and there are so many tentacles. So many different — nefarious is a great word. And I just truly believe that some of it may very well be that.”
He made the statement while speaking with SiriusXM host Michael Smerconish. Bill Cosby was also asked about the staggering number of women accusing him of misconduct.
On that he stated, “I think that the numbers came because the numbers prior to the numbers didn’t work. So the piling on, so to speak, is a way — and certainly an impressive, impressive way — to get public opinion to come to the other side.”
