My grandmother always told me you can find a silver lining in everything if you look hard enough. Despite the colossal miscarriage of justice by letting Cosby out on a technicality, I think the silver lining is that knowing he's such a narcissist, you know its devastating for him that in his last few years he'll helplessly watch as decades of his work cementing his legacy as "America's Dad" come undone before his eyes. After he's gone, Bill knows he'll only be remembered as monster that manipulated his way to the top, thought he could do whatever he wanted, and then fell from grace. It's hardly justice, but I'll take it.
We can only hope that he’s devastated but I feel as tho he truly doesn’t believe that anyone thinks that way about him, even tho the courts corroborated the claims. As a narc, he thinks he’s still right and anyone who believes the allegations is just plain dumb. Dr. Huxtable was dope. Too bad the man who played him is and was a monster.
I remember Lisa Bonet (who played Denise on The Cosby Show) saying in an interview that Cosby was really upset at her (a grown woman at the time) for playing a part in the movie Angel Heart in which there was a nude sex scene. The fact that he had the gall to criticize her for consensually participating in an erotic movie scene while he was RAPING women...it's disgusting. I grew up with his work and it's so disturbing that he was allowed to get away with this shit for so long.
Most narcissists deflect to take attention off of themselves. They’re constantly trying to keep up with a false image, meanwhile, they’re doing the same things they talk down on. They’re worse most of the time
He probably also coveted her for himself but knew she was too high profile and close to home to dare, so he resented a sexual portrayal of her due to jealousy.
I met Cosby in 2006. I was in his hotel room with him, as I was a server in Room Service at a casino he was performing at. He completely ignored the male server who was also there (who was actually the one setting up his breakfast - I had come along just to meet Bill Cosby). He asked me to do some mental tasks around his suite for him (close the curtains, turn off some lights, move a phone that was plugged in in a wonky place). He then offered me either a large cash tip or tickets to his show that evening for my parents. I opted for the tickets. Turns out he called my mgr and asked for me to be his server in the green room for his performances, but I wasn't on the schedule, and my mgr refused to call me in. I was mad at the time (bc I thought probably could have made a LOT of $), but she probably saved me from being assaulted.
@@KevinShaughnessy-mt9jt it was kind of his m.o.. So, it's a safe assumption. If you're alone with a predator, it's safe to assume there's a chance of assault.
@@KevinShaughnessy-mt9jtif someone is a predator with a pattern of assault it’s reasonable to be afraid and suspicious of spending time alone with them. So you think women should just hang out with strange men huh?
My Dad never let me watch Cosby show or any of his comedy shows. This shocked me and my sister as kids because Cosby is black and so is my Dad and my Dad always tried to encourage us to watch entertainment created by or including black people. My Dad also loved comedians and again, always encouraged us to watch comedy shows with him. So when I was about 11 (which was only in the early 2000s and my family hadn’t heard about the allegations about him yet) I asked my Dad why he was so anti Bill Cosby, he said he believed that man to creepy. He questioned how he was just so easily accepted by the World and why he was so respected and allowed to do things that were creepy, why did he have so much respect that he was allowed to get away with those kinds of things? My Dad also questioned how he was such a icon for child on TV but known to be a big womanizer off screen (to my Dad, they don’t match up and you can’t be both), he strongly believed he was using his image as a kind man and fun Dad to take advantage of women (which funny enough, he was). I asked my Dad why didn’t allow us to watch Bill Cosby when he was a big black figure and as a black Dad my Dad desperately wanted me and my sister to look up to black figures. My Dad explained that he did want us to look up Black people, but not because they were Black, but because they were good people doing the right thing. Bill Cosby is not that kind of person. My sister and I still had a big problem with our Dad for years for not allowing us to watch Bill Cosby. My Dad rubbed it in our face a lot when we heard about the allegations. And again when Cosby was finally arrested.
Cosby’s fall from grace still feels surreal to me. For Gen-X and elder Millennials who grew up watching his shows, it’s a betrayal. A true betrayal. I hope all the survivors of his abuse find peace and healing. Someday.
I agree. Of course the true victims are the women he abused, but it's like a rug was pulled out from under my childhood. His albums were my introduction to standup comedy, and certain lines have been like shorthand in my family for the past 20 years. Now when the opportunity for one of those inside jokes comes up, we just sort of look at each other sadly and move on. He represented the pinnacle of silly, harmless fun in our household, and that's been poisoned.
Agreed. I'm ashamed to admit at first that I thought Cosby was being set up. The conspiracist part of me thought that, given his controversial statements in the past, that Cosby would be an easy target to frame. Like, I knew he had affairs and wasn't nearly as squeaky clean as he claimed, but I really wanted to believe he was innocent. Boy was I wrong. I hope and pray that his victims are able to find peace as well.
As a black child in the 80s I always liked the show but disliked him. He thought of himself as a Black Ambassador that could tell other Blacks what to do and how to act as if he was some authority figure. That always rubbed me the wrong way because most people I knew during his peak years that "virtue signaled" or spoke for an entire race weren't in private the best people.
how so? not trolling but sincerely interested in what you mean. According to this video he specifically didnt bring race or politics into his routine. what did he do to make himself the "black ambassador?".. im very old so I was around in the late 70's ha ha
I was drugged at a bar once and I'm a guy. Luckily before I blacked out (you'll still "function" fine after you're completely blacked out) my best friend randomly called me and came to where I was, even though neither of us at the time knew I had an issue. He saved me from getting into some real trouble. It was crazy.. I didn't even know what happened until I talked to him for a little bit the next day and pieces of the night came back into my memory... Stay safe out there guys.
@@entidade_000 I agree, luckily my lesson was inexpensive, it didn't have to end up that way. Thank you for your kindness, I hope you have a great 2024
I think the worst defense of celebrities or personalities who assault people is "Why would they need to do that, they're famous anyone would sleep with them". People will genuinely set aside everything they know and have learned about how people work to defend their idols or their bias and it's wild to watch them do it in real time.
The assumption that anybody would be willing to sleep with a celebrity at anytime AND that somebody having/had willing partners in the past means they would have "no reason" to rape is both ludicrous and a distinct misunderstanding of the psychology of perpetrators of sexual assault. It's not about sexual gratification - it's about forcing control over somebody else, about feeding their ego.
@@yellowblanka6058 i hear lots of people repeat what u say, that "rape is not about sex, it's about power & control " etc. i say b.s. that rape is totally about sex gratification, AND power, AND control. if rape wasn't about sex then it wouldn't be rape.
@@mindsigh4Fair enough, but it is ultimately more about somebody exerting power and control over their victim than the sexual gratification...or rather, they get immense gratification from wresting control from their victim. They're not satisfied with consensual sex, they have to exert control/dominance over another person against their will.
When criminals admit to the actions of a crime (like drugging women to have sex with them) but still insist that they are innocent, it feels like an extra confession because its clear that they dont even think there was anything wrong with what theyve done.
It means there's a LOT more that they are holding back. Give a few crumbs to deflect from more horrible issues. Like 60 women ain't enough- odd that exactly 0 ever overdosed on QUALUDES.
Yup. And the most disgusting aspect of it is that Hollywood is crawling with men who think the exact same way. It's common. The only difference now is that they know better than to flaunt it openly.
I remember when I was a kid my grandmother who was at one point a stage dancer in Reno had told me a story about Cosby. He was playing at the casino she danced at and every woman on staff was warned not to accept drinks or invitations from him. Not sure what year this happened but I am guessing it was pretty early in his career. This was a horrible open secret for decades and nobody seemed to care.

@@Mojave702 not sure what your point is? Was this reply for the OP? Or a comment that was deleted, disappeared by YT or is still there but I can't see it? If if it's the latter, that makes sense, because I'm seeing your comment out of context. YT has some whacky censorship sh*t goin' on with comment sections. If it's the former? I have no idea wtf you're talking about. The OP wasn't giving a deposition, they were sharing a story their grandmother told them FFS!
The narrative is about a selfish narcissistic man What about the women that didn't have police reports What are their names ? How many women can it be when it doesn't happen. Would you want the statute of limitation laws, that can't identify a suspect without a victim? To have those laws allegedly dismissed with lawsuits . How is not a solicitation of prostitution extortion that violates individual rights ??
They ALWAYS know. Everyone knew about Cosby, Weinstein, Epstein, Suge Night, etc. The list is extensive because in Hollywood, anyone who has any type of power, will hurt you, either by drugging, raping, or both.
Fantastic coverage of this tragedy. I grew up, watching his shows, and it took years for me to believe he wasn’t telling the truth. No media company covered this issue properly and I appreciate your effort to make such a comprehensive summary.
The fact he was released blows me away. This man, regardless of his status in tv or film deserves the same sentence as any Joe Blow who did the same crimes. I guess justice is blind when you have enough paper or influence
His release, unfortunately, is the fault of the detective, who promised him his words in a civil case wouldn't be used against him in a criminal case, and then went on and did just that. Fuck Cosby, and fuck that detective
Exactly what I was thinking. A disgusting man, but id assume his wife knew. I've noticed some older black women will protect and stand by their man no matter what, it's a fear of being alone. She stood by him, even holding his hand as he walked out of jail. Remember the Aaron Hernandez case, he killed his friend who was dating his girlfriend's sister. she stood by him, went to the trial every day, sat across from her family and defended him.
@@bugshavehearts his wife definitely knew and even if she didn’t then she knows now so she is just as sick and wicked. I wouldn’t trust anyone i love around those people.
@@bugshavehearts and older white women, older Mexican women, older Asian women, etc etc etc..... it's the way they were raised. The Stand By Your Man Generation.
Stay safe. We had a worse (if this is possible) parasitical predator here in UK; Savile. Completely at home with royals and politicians, given keys and rooms in institutions for the most vulnerable young people. Decades long career in entertainment. As long as the image is right, and the establishment can bask in the celebrity glow, it's all okay. This shit is still happening, no doubt. It just got a little riskier.
Accusations, don't, dictate the charge of a crime Statute laws can't acknowledge the charge of an accusation ! Our constitution , similar , or exactly, suited to your laws, give rights to the victims, with those rights extended equally to those accused ! This was not the balance of justice!
I saw the documentary about him on Netflix. The guy was an absolute monster. I would also like to see the channel cover my country's (Brazil) embodiment of human excrement, João de Deus
That dude never got caught or exposed either, right? He died and *then* it became widely published and people started to talk about it🤦♂ Also because he was dead he couldn't have his knighthood stripped. Cosby managed to get out of jail due to proesecutorial incompetence, but at least he served 3yrs; at least everybody knows about it while he's still alive and knows he's a scumbag; and he's still getting sued and perhaps there's a chance he'll get charged criminally again before he dies.
i’m not american nor have i ever lived in america, but my family would watch the cosby show every week because my parents loved it so much. to be honest, it was a great show that had such smart humour and was relatable to so many people. i couldn’t believe what i was hearing when i learned about how bill cosby a crimes in real life, it makes me think i can’t take anyone i see on screen at face value, even when they’re not acting.
Watching Little Bill, the Cosby Show, and Fat Albert with my family are some of my fondest memories. I remember how inspiring it was as a black kid seeing someone who looked like me be so funny and beloved. It’s so heartbreaking knowing who he really is, and how he fooled everyone for so long. Very proud of all the victims who spoke up.
I used love watching little bill as a kid but now after all this new information coming out makes me sad because not really knowing what going on behind the scenes ☹
As part of the younger generation, thank you for covering this. I feel like I’ve never been inclined to read into the full story since the majority of incidents happened before I was born, it’s really captivating to see your coverage on the case and I’m glad you are educating us on the full story today.
You should get in the habit of reading about things that happened before you were born, considering 98% of everything that has ever happened happened before you were born.
@@doob- Generally speaking, I do, however this is one case regarding criminal allegations I had never had the energy to deep dive into. Always a bonus when dreading covers the story.
Both sides of my family are from Las Vegas, and my dad hated Bill Cosby decades ago, because he said his friend was assaulted by Cosby in the 80s, and I always thought he was making it up, imagine my shock
This one really hurts, I grew up watching Fat Albert and watching all the jello commercials, the Huxtables. I loved him, he was a dad to us all no matter what color we were. To find out he was actually a predator makes my skin crawl. I even had a hard time believing it at first. But in the end, I realize they can’t all be lying for money. He really did do this, and it breaks my heart.
@@michelehafey2607 It's a case of how we heard rumors about Jackson being a pedophile, then when he died we heard he wasn't, and in fact was sexually impotent, and years later we heard charges again that he was a pedophile. We cannot even get a straight answer from the news media.
@@elouisehosch1016 The news media told us that MJ was a pedophile, then when he died, said he never molested any kids, and even indicated he was sexually impotent. Then years later we heard he really was a pedophile. Which story should we believe?

No he isn't his conviction was overturned in 2021 and was found to be completely innocent. The whole process against Cosby was a crime against justice and everyone involved should be publicly executed for what they did to Cosby. The Judge in the case campaigned on the parole he will convict Cosby in his run for the DA he lost and still refused to remove himself from the case, his wife held protests inside his courtroom and was the leader of the MeToo organization in Philly. They fabricated evidence, completely ignored his constitutional rights and rigged the jury against him.
I know it has been said and repeated but I feel so betrayed. I truly admired Bill Cosby for so many years and marveled at the warmth, and love and goodness of being a human being that he (seemed to) embody. I met him with my twin brother when we were 10 years old and we were blown away at his awesome demeanor - so disheartening to learn his real personality.
What a disgrace. It’s such a shame that his behavior continued for so long and that he was able to use his celebrity power to cover up his crimes. Just a nasty nasty man.
@@Loralanthalas Sorry to correct you, but drugging women and having sex with them while they’re un- or semi-conscious was definitely illegal back then too

I would like to quote Jim Jeffrey," I say a lot of horrible words and get a lot of backlash because of it. You know who never received any criticism for his material, Bill fucking Cosby. You got to give it to the guy that never said the swear words".
Can you do a video on R. Kelly and his crimes and get as much confirmed information as possible about his life, career and crimes. That would be really interesting as well.

I was born in 1977 and I grew up with his stand-up and The Cosby Show. It broke my heart when I found out what a truly horrible human he was. I'm sure that the women he abused never saw it coming and maybe doubted their experiences because of his outward appearance of being a family man.
Very well done, and to think that he just announced a tour in 2023. The man has no shame, and I'm glad you laid out the facts to let people know exactly who he is.
I’m from Australia and the Cosby Show was a staple in our house. Unbelievable that this was allowed to go on for so long considering the characters he played and who the audience was
Please cover the murders and cover up of Don Henry and Kevin Ives in 1987. Two teenage boys who accidentally stumbled upon a corrupt prosecutor and police officers who were running drugs in Arkansas. A dozen other murders followed to cover up their murders after they failed to have the deaths determined a double suicide. Insane story. So many twists. Would love to hear your take
The thing I'm noticing now is that he seem to have always been an awful person with an awful personality, not just because of fame. It's not a star going down due to fame, it was always going to be like that and fame just gave him the power to multiply the damage he always wanted to do to girls.
It’s also possible Bill Cosby’s own childhood could have had some dark events and stories in it that Cosby either chose to not make public or created a lighter facade to hide the darker reality of for his stand-up comedy and tv shows that created his dark real life persona. Bill Cosby’s father was an alcoholic and his mother only worked as a maid. This likely means that Bill Cosby, his parents and his wife Camille were likely living in poorer areas with an income that never went above the lower middle class until Bill Cosby got his role in I Spy
I’ve always wondered how much his wife Camille Cosby knew! She obviously played a huge part at making him seem safe. As the allegations where going on their entire marriage. And why!? Did Camille turn a blind eye to the abuse Bill with bravado inflicted on other young women even when she was present within the same home/next door and and why? Camille has to continued to co sign Bill’s abhorrent abusive behaviour. Till this day.
@@adamp108 ♥️ have you heard Camille speak!? She’s more dominant than him. Camille calls the shots, she’s forceful and Bill follows. Camille’s no wallflower. She knows what time of the day it is.
@@adamp108 ♥️ interesting “evil mommy” maybe! I just have always seen Camille as more of an accomplice. She’s like the “stagehand” that preps the stage for the the actors performance.
@@adamp108 ♥️ Good points. But we all just assume she never knew! We hope she didn’t. But she has separated herself from Bill more than once taking the kids, from him (that’s a power play) during their marriage, but they have always reconciled/accommodated to each other. When you see them in interviews it’s like they are best buds! And yes I do think she could break him. She holds the cards.
it's crazy how many people knew about this over the years yet this man was still able to assault multiple more women as time went on. hollywood is disgusting & so is this man. thank you for covering this dreading 💜
The smug look on Cosby's wife's face during the ET interview is beyond sickening. She had to know all the allegations were true. Too bad she wasn't held criminally liable.

She was very smug, and I have no doubt she knew. However, you can’t convict somebody for having a dismissive attitude. If that was the case, a lot of folks would be in jail. Nor can you convict someone just for believing they knew. You have to have evidence that they were complicit and knew of his activities. There’s no known evidence against Camille Cosby. although one of the victims did claimed that she didn’t know and was actually there when Cosby allegedly assaulted her. And who is the say Camille didn’t have her own thing on the side?! I’ve always maintained she probably was getting action herself, but anyone that’s ever seen Camille in her younger days, let’s just say I doubt she had the drug anybody to get any action.
My mum saved me after I got roofied at a bar when I was in my early 20's. It was the worst feeling and I've never been to a bar since. I couldn't imagine what those girls went through. Thank God my mum had a bad feeling and decided to wait for me outside the bar
God poor Sofia Vergara (never thought I'd say that) - I've seen her on so many tv shows as a guest where either the other guest, or the host is just full on creepy to her...like because she's beautiful, they have a right to behave a certain way with her...Gordon Ramsey as a guest on a talk show with her springs to mind, as does most of her appearances on Ellen DeGeneres.
Yeah, she is hot, but you can expressed that with tact and class. And none of the people you named did anything but! Cosby‘s was particularly creepy, but Gordon Ramsay and Ellen DeGeneres wasn’t much better.
@@EVGriffinJr ITA 100% - there is definitely such a thing as 'pretty privilege,' but you can also see the downside with the example of Sofia - I think Ellen is the most disturbing out of the examples I gave...because she's doing it to another woman; which is so gross, under the guise of entertainment, and subjects her to it on multiple appearances.
it reminds me of the Jimmy Saville story where people can't come to terms with separating the monster from the good deeds they've done; they aren't mutually exclusive, you can be a monster and still do good things sometimes. I can't believe his verdict got overturned, that's super disappointing to hear
When the jimmy Saville crimes were being posthumously revealed, I was trying to think of a American comparison to comprehend it and I just randomly chose Bill Cosby. Turned out I was too right.
@@jedross2136 weird take, I'm not excusing anything either of these gross men or what they did, but they both covered it with lies and good deeds (whether the intention is morally good or not doesn't make some of the things they did NOT good). It's not a mutually exclusive take on life, to actually do a good thing but secretly be a monster. Jimmy (unfortunately) helped a lot of people, maybe you should read into that before making such a strange comment
@@orkosubmarine He went to children’s hospitals to abuse them under the guise of philanthropy. Your mate ‘Jimmy’ was cold and calculating and he fooled you.
This and Dave's Lemonade should be the gold standard for creating content based around true crime. The respect for the victims is, sadly, something that stands out from these two creators. Incredibly captivating narration, accuracy in reporting and superb respect for victims and viewers makes this a must sub channel.
Love Kendall Rae as well. She’s one of the most respectful reporters of cases! I also like The Disturbing Truth, his voice is amazing though he’s usually more harsh on the perpetrators than Kendall or Dreading.
It’s even worse when you connect that he worked at a bar and probably roofied people there, it makes sense how down pat he had his drugging routine if you think about it 🤮
Hearing "please take care of your mental health" today, really helped. My job can be very solitary, and you are 90% of what enters my ears during the work week. Just know that you're not only making content, you do make a difference also.
Thank you dreading for the coverage. Bill Cosby had alot of access to young girls and teens as many celebrities in Philadelphia. As a teen at a major athletic event for up and coming athlete's called the Penn Relays, I remember how out of nowhere Cosby popped up to "console" me. Everytime I read the article from the 90s Inquier news paper, it gives me a sick feeling all over again of how much access he and many others had. Parents and coaches weren't allowed where celebrities often were and many nearing adults would encourage his arm around u for a photo because he's Bill Cosby.
Man, I have to say that I love your work ethic. You aren't copying and pasting from anyone else's videos like a lot of TH-camrs do. You're doing research on your own, and building your narrative from the ground up. Well done.
SO thankful for all the work that went into this. as a viewer who voiced disappointment that it seemed a lot of this channel's content was becoming trial footage, this is masterful storytelling and a true testament to the care this channel provides to conveying victims' stories. thank you, this is an incredible one.
I have a nephew who is a black man in his early 20s. He offhandedly mentioned that he thought Bill Cosby was innocent a few Christmases ago. I asked him if he thought 60 women were lying about being assaulted and he wouldn’t say yes. I told him I believed most of the women and that he should listen to the interviews before declaring Bill Cosby’s innocence. I don’t know if he ever did or what he thinks about it now. Thank you for the coverage!
I was doubtful for the first few, especially when it was decades after the fact. People do lie, and especially so if their is the ability to get attention. As the people who came forward entered the double digits i started leaning heavily towards guilt.
I never watched Bill Cosby and I always felt that he was not genuine, but rather, he was a phony. I can't point to any specific reason for this feeling. But I do seem to have an instinct for detecting a phony person, a person who outwardly seems like a nice person but really is a creep. It maybe is something about their eyes ..... but being raised by two narcissists certainly helped me develop this skill. Everyone thought my father was a wonderful person, but I really hated him because I knew the nasty side of the man that he never let anyone else see, and I hated that about hin.
i’ve said this in another comment section, but the content warnings in these videos are really appreciated. true crime desensitizes a lot of viewers to descriptions of violence, so we think we won’t be effected by these stories. sometimes i think i can handle it, and then the warning is given, and i think to myself “maybe not today.” it’s saved me a lot of stress as a victim of sexual violence. thank you.
Agreed. I'm glad you said this. Because too, it's up there is some clown ass hat making jokes about the trigger warnings, clearly their snowflake sensibilities were triggered by the warning I guess
Can not even imagine how it must effect you. I know we want to listen to stories that are the same as what we experienced, sometimes it helps to know you are not alone but often the triggers are too much. I experience it with child abuse stories, sometimes it just takes me back way to far.
Dreading is great. His warnings to stop watching prove he's more caring rather than greedy. And look what he's reaping. Thousands and thousands; perhaps millions of responses. I say wow, and great important work Dreading. I pray for your protection from backlash. Amen. (It is done)
Jesus , I’m so sorry of what you went through . However, watching this or anything if you are triggered is I’ll just say it - why ? You know already what he is about so why watch it ? I’m not being insensitive, but ok - my 16 year old son committed suicide - with no signs nothing tangible 8 years ago - I know if I watch sonething about suicide may not he the best idea
I just wanted to thank you for always warning us before you go into detail on something that’s upsetting. And thank you for posting so often, I can’t imagine how hard you work, but we all appreciate it!
Everything Dreading covers is upsetting. Why are the warnings even important to you if you know you'll watch the video anyway? I mean, I get it for people who heed the warnings, and click off the videos because of them, but why do they matter for someone that will consume the material regardless? Lots of people post about how thankful they are for his trigger warnings AFTER they've watched his videos, and I just don't get it.
@@dragonsky799so you have the option. Even if you do end up watching the full video, you know what you're getting into. You can mentally prepare youself. Not every case is the same, you can't know beforehand what topics exactly will be talked about and there are some days you may be able to handle certain information, and on some days you need to protect your own well being and click off. But either way, if the warning is there, you can better judge what might be ok or not okay for you to hear in the moment. Maybe you realize that you can't handle a certain topic currently, but still want to watch the video later and come back to it. It's good to know before any harm is done.
@@bluesideace"Mentally prepare yourself"?! Give me a break. Perhaps all adults just need to put on their big boy pants when they get out of bed each morning, rather than going through life tiptoeing around each corner waiting to be "triggered", lol. People that get triggered...are those that get trampled by life in general. You might as well stop eating, crawl under a rock, and give up. SMH.
What makes it even worse is all the people who looked the other way knowing what he was doing. They, knowingly, were accomplices and it makes me sick. His wife knew, how could she not know? I’d like to think I would fight back in a situation like this but i really wouldn’t know. Strength, being drugged, being in a strangers home, nobody willing to help, etc. are all factors.
if you're drugged their's a high chance your unconscious and if you aren't especially with what he drugged them with you are usually dizzy and nauseous which is probably why he used them he's a coward that couldn't handle a woman saying no and fighting back
This is like all of hollywood, kid actors are preyed upon and people taken advantage of left and rigth and everyone is looking the other way until someone is "outed" then they all fake outrage then go back to looking away at the ones not outed yet. 🤢
@leann durnan he was released because the prosecution made an unconditional promise not to charge him, and it was overturned on appeal. It wasn't justice, but the legal system isn't there to provide justice. That is a mistake many non lawyers make.
I remember in the early 90s watching a made for tv documentary about the Playboy Mansion and part of it was all about the celebrities who regularly attended the mansions parties. They talked about Cosby a lot and how he was there all the time. I remember thinking how that was really weird due to the personality he'd cultivated over the years. Men who are squeaky clean don't regularly go to the Playboy mansion.
So....he had to repeat a grade and he was so embarrassed, felt so inadequate that he had to just drop out altogether . That's really pathetic and screams volumes to his character in my opinion. Especially with him having to literally be the best at every little single thing he tries. It would drive me insane if I was his wife...I would have left him years and years ago, but that's just me. It speaks on how he carried himself in his later years and why he felt he could get away with his crimes.
Plus, it speaks to ego and his sense of pride that he felt so bad about being held back a grade. I wants had to go to summer school just so I could advance to the next grade. I was a little embarrassed, but I did what I had to do and got over it. Sounds like to me Mr. Cosby had a massive ego and just wanted his way when he wanted it and would not take no for an answer. Same thing for his activities, he wanted power and control. It wasn’t about getting some. Because of it was just about that, There were plenty of women that would’ve slept with him just because he was bill Cosby, but he chose this sickening route. Why appreciate his comedy and some of the things he put out there, particularly a different world, as that’s the only show of his, I can watch without feeling uncomfortable, mainly because he’s generally not on it, I cannot cover up for the person that he has been revealed to be. And I heard he’s trying to go on tour again?! Mr. Cosby, and I know you’ll never see this, but do yourself and the rest of us a favor, and just sit your behind down! It’s over!
Reminder that you are more likely to be sexually assaulted by someone that you know! Never assume you are “safe,” just because you’ve known each other for a while! And if you did trust someone? It’s not your fault.
Thanks for that. I posted my own personal story on a video about this before (not this channel, but about the bill cosby stuff), and said that when I was assaulted, I was too drunk to remember and my friend had to tell me it happened in the first place. People were horrible. I know, I don't expect empathy from the internet, but people told me it was all my fault and I'm fat, and no one would do that to me because I'm fat. :/
Great show, Mr. Dreading. I thought Cosby spent some serious time behind bars. I always felt that there was something mean spirited behind that smiling face.
The women, Without police reports or medical records, that has to identify a victim a with crime They"re not thought of individually by name It's just a number, it can't determine guilt It violates, the individual rights of victims. These, are alleged consensual, alleged non consensual women, that return, It doesn't explain, deviant predatory behavior ! Civil lawsuits, without limitations, can't replace, statute of limitation laws, in a criminal trial It's a political means of extortion! Testimony, with a use of Benadryl, misidentified as blue, with a color history, of pink, not potent enough to render unconsciousness, can't be an illegal use of quaaludes which used to be white, before being banned on the world market in 1991 There are no official records !! It amounts to six counts of perjury Accusations, of 10 years that are rejected, can't become a criminal, mistrial. Mistrials dispose of statements with found evidence. When a mistrial is declared The supreme court can't overturn a verdict on a technicality. It's the highest ruling !
Haven’t watched yet but I am so glad to hear you talk about this. I watched the documentary where they showed numerous clips of him talking and joking about what he would do to women like it was normal. Hearing people still deny it makes me sick. Sometimes it feels like so many have forgotten. Thanks for covering this
Bill Cosby is move the greatest entertainers of all time. He’s also unfortunately one of the sickest. Wow I always love the Cosby show and what it brought to people, specially Black people, you can’t deny the unspeakable things he did. And while I don’t believe every single woman that has come out against Bill Cosby, way too many of the stories add up.
@@robinmcinarnay7827 that’s a no for me. He needs to just sit down and just stay out of the spotlight at this point. He’s almost as arrogant as Vince McMahon. What am I saying? He is as arrogant as Vance! If I want to see Cosby, I’ll check out an episode of the Cosby show! At least, then, I can pretend he’s Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable! Especially in the early episode! Like I said, in my earlier post, while he is one of the greatest entertainers of all time, and he did do a lot for the image of Black people in America, I can’t deny the evil things that he’s done either. So no, even if the tour came through my way, it would be a hard pass for me!
He always looked like a creep to me. He acted like one... He was so fake, and always always looking the wrong way at women. I got yelled at any time I talked about it, but I was right the entire time. I felt horror knowing how right I was... I thought I would feel vindicated. I just felt empty and angry.
Me!!! I always got a weird feeling watching the Cosby Show... my dad especially grew up with him so I never said a thing. His comedy was always so bland and creepy? Idk ur comment just unlocked a memory i must've buried
Yes, agree. Going waaay back, to one of his comedy albums mentioning getting his wife to give him sex, even when she wasn't in the mood, implying she was never in the mood, and him saying "She's Catholic, Pope says you gotta do it!" I was a little kid and that didn't sit right. And then the Cosby show, always made him look like the smartest guy in the room, the kids stupid and the wife "the whole package, beautiful, smart, yet still, not his equal. Oh! And gosh! It was the sexist sixties, but I Spy was SO misogynistic!!! I wonder if Eartha Kitt had some stories. 🤔
@@sharonthompson672the Cosby show’s female characters (excluding the one episode extras Cosby SA’d when they weren’t on set) were also played by actresses who either got their big break with the role on that show or gained credibility with Hollywood executives for their guest role appearances to gain a more prominent role elsewhere. Cosby already had A list celebrity status for over ten years before the first Cosby show episode. The real issue with The Cosby Show is the fact that the two writers behind the concept of that larger than life tv show (because the Cosby Show was the most popular tv show at a time where owning tvs in your residence was easy, but there were still far less entertainment tv networks for tv shows to compete against in ratings) never got anywhere near the level of credit for the show they deserved. Most people outside of Hollywood who did not have industry connections assumed Bill Cosby created the concept for the Cosby show as well
I feel about Cosby like I feel about Rolf Harris. I enjoyed both of them as a child, and have enjoyed their intellegent and creative contributions. It is very disappointing to learn about the other side to these guys.
I grew up watching the Cosby show its sad how devious he was.Its just horrific how many actors,comics and wealthy men got away with this behaviour for years ! As a woman it’s heartbreaking to think about what the victims went through 😢 Great in-depth look at this monster .
He hurt so many girls/women 😔 What a waste of talent... I hope those he hurt have healed and recovered to have a positive, loving, supportive and caring life 🙏 ❤
He hurt so many girls/women by giving them a drug, that enhances their high on coke. When they said the drug he was being accused of drugging them with. I fell out laughing.
I'm a child of the 70s and he has always kind of just been there, but not everyone was always impressed by his "talent". His jokes were always lame and his whole schtick was completely banal, which is exactly why Hollywood was able to push him as a family-friendly comedian. I can't recall ever finding his routine funny at all.
@@kellyhardingham8063 you mean tarnished due to the conviction. He's a rapist. No "allegations" about it. It's already been proven and confessed. So he's not arguing about his innocence: why are you???
Your genuine thoughtfulness towards trigger warnings, and overall awareness of mental health is appreciated. In my experience it takes one to know one, i hope you're well and happy sir ❤

@@johnynoway9127 - Given the quality of their response to your first question, and the indulgent negativity in their response to OP, I'm kinda shocked you *want* them to elaborate.
When I was a child I saw a movie that had a character that really scared me, Calibos in Clash of the Titans (1981). When the Cosby show aired I remember seeing Bill for the first time and I burst into tears, he looks exactly like the monster Calibos.
"The show [I Spy] broke barriers, being the first weekly dramatic television series to feature an African American in the starring role. Because of this, four states declined to air the show..." Lemme guess, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Back in the '70s, when I was 9 or 10, we had some family friends who worked in Las Vegas hotels. They liked to name drop the celebrities they'd met and were glad to offer their opinion of them. (She's an air head; she's arrogant, he's pretty cool). When Bill Cosby's name came up the woman in the pair became visibly angry and didn't want to talk about him even though the guy seemed to like him. I thought it odd, but in retrospect, she'd clearly heard some things.
Strap in because this is going to be a wild ride. I'm sure a lot of people can agree when I say that this is the biggest celebrity scandal/fall from grace because how big he was when I grew up, what he stood for and because how big and horrible his crimes were. I'm sure the details will be done tasteful as usual regarding the victims, I've stayed away from listening to the whole story until now. When I first told my dad the news he didn't believe me because it was like if you found out that Mr.Rogers was a serial killer for 40 years.
My grandpa met Bill when my dad was in Vietnam. My grandpa told Bill that my dad was over in the war and was a big fan. Bill told my grandpa to go away and leave him alone. I haven't liked Bill since the 90s.
I heard about this from an entertainer and a former employee ( he asked me not to write anything about Cosby negative, ever). I loved Bill Cosby so much! But I believed that he was creepy. I felt bad for my friend when it came out in the news. I told everyone that it's true no matter how much it sounds fake.
I love this channel because I don’t have time to read up on these cases, but I do have time to listen with headphones while I work. I’ve always wanted to know more than 5min blurbs from a news outlet or talk show. I appreciate the in depth information and am glad to finally know things I’ve been so curious about. Thank you dreading 👌
Your channel is now my favourite for true crime, and I consider myself an expert on incredibly compelling and well narrated content. Thank you for what you do! ❤
My grandmother always told me you can find a silver lining in everything if you look hard enough. Despite the colossal miscarriage of justice by letting Cosby out on a technicality, I think the silver lining is that knowing he's such a narcissist, you know its devastating for him that in his last few years he'll helplessly watch as decades of his work cementing his legacy as "America's Dad" come undone before his eyes. After he's gone, Bill knows he'll only be remembered as monster that manipulated his way to the top, thought he could do whatever he wanted, and then fell from grace. It's hardly justice, but I'll take it.
Just think about what he did to so many young women.
Me, too.
Good observation... people should rain down hate mail on him in avalanches to negate all the energy he got from the decades of fan mail he got.
We can only hope that he’s devastated but I feel as tho he truly doesn’t believe that anyone thinks that way about him, even tho the courts corroborated the claims. As a narc, he thinks he’s still right and anyone who believes the allegations is just plain dumb. Dr. Huxtable was dope. Too bad the man who played him is and was a monster.
@@suzbone I second this!
I remember Lisa Bonet (who played Denise on The Cosby Show) saying in an interview that Cosby was really upset at her (a grown woman at the time) for playing a part in the movie Angel Heart in which there was a nude sex scene. The fact that he had the gall to criticize her for consensually participating in an erotic movie scene while he was RAPING women...it's disgusting. I grew up with his work and it's so disturbing that he was allowed to get away with this shit for so long.
A first appearance on the David letterman show has Lisa Bonet explain that Cosby didn't disapprove
To be honest with you Cosby scared me when I was a kid knowing what we know now it makes sense .
Lisa Bonet always eluded that she never trusted that man after she left the Cosby show and Its a Different World
Most narcissists deflect to take attention off of themselves. They’re constantly trying to keep up with a false image, meanwhile, they’re doing the same things they talk down on. They’re worse most of the time
He probably also coveted her for himself but knew she was too high profile and close to home to dare, so he resented a sexual portrayal of her due to jealousy.
I met Cosby in 2006. I was in his hotel room with him, as I was a server in Room Service at a casino he was performing at. He completely ignored the male server who was also there (who was actually the one setting up his breakfast - I had come along just to meet Bill Cosby). He asked me to do some mental tasks around his suite for him (close the curtains, turn off some lights, move a phone that was plugged in in a wonky place). He then offered me either a large cash tip or tickets to his show that evening for my parents. I opted for the tickets. Turns out he called my mgr and asked for me to be his server in the green room for his performances, but I wasn't on the schedule, and my mgr refused to call me in. I was mad at the time (bc I thought probably could have made a LOT of $), but she probably saved me from being assaulted.
Assault isn't something that you guess will happen !
@@KevinShaughnessy-mt9jt it was kind of his m.o.. So, it's a safe assumption. If you're alone with a predator, it's safe to assume there's a chance of assault.
Wow you swam with a shark and you didnt even know it. Thats wild.
@@KevinShaughnessy-mt9jtif someone is a predator with a pattern of assault it’s reasonable to be afraid and suspicious of spending time alone with them. So you think women should just hang out with strange men huh?
My Dad never let me watch Cosby show or any of his comedy shows. This shocked me and my sister as kids because Cosby is black and so is my Dad and my Dad always tried to encourage us to watch entertainment created by or including black people. My Dad also loved comedians and again, always encouraged us to watch comedy shows with him. So when I was about 11 (which was only in the early 2000s and my family hadn’t heard about the allegations about him yet) I asked my Dad why he was so anti Bill Cosby, he said he believed that man to creepy. He questioned how he was just so easily accepted by the World and why he was so respected and allowed to do things that were creepy, why did he have so much respect that he was allowed to get away with those kinds of things? My Dad also questioned how he was such a icon for child on TV but known to be a big womanizer off screen (to my Dad, they don’t match up and you can’t be both), he strongly believed he was using his image as a kind man and fun Dad to take advantage of women (which funny enough, he was). I asked my Dad why didn’t allow us to watch Bill Cosby when he was a big black figure and as a black Dad my Dad desperately wanted me and my sister to look up to black figures. My Dad explained that he did want us to look up Black people, but not because they were Black, but because they were good people doing the right thing. Bill Cosby is not that kind of person. My sister and I still had a big problem with our Dad for years for not allowing us to watch Bill Cosby.
My Dad rubbed it in our face a lot when we heard about the allegations. And again when Cosby was finally arrested.
Looks like your dad has a great ability to read people. This is a treasure. I trust you learned from him.
Judged not by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.
this happened, and we all know it
Your dad is brilliant.. Would've made fortune as a Detective.
Was your dad physic 🧙♂️?
Cosby’s fall from grace still feels surreal to me. For Gen-X and elder Millennials who grew up watching his shows, it’s a betrayal. A true betrayal. I hope all the survivors of his abuse find peace and healing. Someday.
I'm not surprised
Well said.
I agree. Of course the true victims are the women he abused, but it's like a rug was pulled out from under my childhood. His albums were my introduction to standup comedy, and certain lines have been like shorthand in my family for the past 20 years. Now when the opportunity for one of those inside jokes comes up, we just sort of look at each other sadly and move on. He represented the pinnacle of silly, harmless fun in our household, and that's been poisoned.
Agreed. I'm ashamed to admit at first that I thought Cosby was being set up. The conspiracist part of me thought that, given his controversial statements in the past, that Cosby would be an easy target to frame. Like, I knew he had affairs and wasn't nearly as squeaky clean as he claimed, but I really wanted to believe he was innocent.
Boy was I wrong. I hope and pray that his victims are able to find peace as well.
For real, he was one of my idols growing up. Someone I aspired to be like. Glad I didn’t turn out to be like him after all…
As a black child in the 80s I always liked the show but disliked him. He thought of himself as a Black Ambassador that could tell other Blacks what to do and how to act as if he was some authority figure. That always rubbed me the wrong way because most people I knew during his peak years that "virtue signaled" or spoke for an entire race weren't in private the best people.
yeah its cringey
how so? not trolling but sincerely interested in what you mean. According to this video he specifically didnt bring race or politics into his routine. what did he do to make himself the "black ambassador?".. im very old so I was around in the late 70's ha ha
Truth was spoken this day.
That's an interesting take. Thanks for sharing.
You mean like MLK?
I was drugged at a bar once and I'm a guy. Luckily before I blacked out (you'll still "function" fine after you're completely blacked out) my best friend randomly called me and came to where I was, even though neither of us at the time knew I had an issue. He saved me from getting into some real trouble. It was crazy.. I didn't even know what happened until I talked to him for a little bit the next day and pieces of the night came back into my memory... Stay safe out there guys.
I feel like there's definitely a whole different stigma when this sort of thing happens to men
Glad you're doing okay
@@entidade_000 I agree, luckily my lesson was inexpensive, it didn't have to end up that way. Thank you for your kindness, I hope you have a great 2024
Scary stuff. Glad it didn't go the bad way.
Victim
@TurboV8boi damn bro you were about to be the next smiley face victim.
I think the worst defense of celebrities or personalities who assault people is "Why would they need to do that, they're famous anyone would sleep with them". People will genuinely set aside everything they know and have learned about how people work to defend their idols or their bias and it's wild to watch them do it in real time.
The assumption that anybody would be willing to sleep with a celebrity at anytime AND that somebody having/had willing partners in the past means they would have "no reason" to rape is both ludicrous and a distinct misunderstanding of the psychology of perpetrators of sexual assault. It's not about sexual gratification - it's about forcing control over somebody else, about feeding their ego.
@@yellowblanka6058
i hear lots of people repeat what u say, that "rape is not about sex, it's about power & control " etc.
i say b.s. that rape is totally about sex gratification,
AND power, AND control. if rape wasn't about sex then it wouldn't be rape.
@@mindsigh4Fair enough, but it is ultimately more about somebody exerting power and control over their victim than the sexual gratification...or rather, they get immense gratification from wresting control from their victim. They're not satisfied with consensual sex, they have to exert control/dominance over another person against their will.
@@yellowblanka6058 you're only repeating yourself, after what you've been told
@@KevinShaughnessy-lf3vshere you are again!!
When criminals admit to the actions of a crime (like drugging women to have sex with them) but still insist that they are innocent, it feels like an extra confession because its clear that they dont even think there was anything wrong with what theyve done.
Drugging women to *rape them. But yeah, it’s despicable.
I think in his warped mind he views consent as the women agreeing to meet him. Scary man.
It means there's a LOT more that they are holding back. Give a few crumbs to deflect from more horrible issues. Like 60 women ain't enough- odd that exactly 0 ever overdosed on QUALUDES.
Yup. And the most disgusting aspect of it is that Hollywood is crawling with men who think the exact same way. It's common. The only difference now is that they know better than to flaunt it openly.
@@Loralanthalas Are you saying he's likely committed murder and got away with it?
I remember when I was a kid my grandmother who was at one point a stage dancer in Reno had told me a story about Cosby. He was playing at the casino she danced at and every woman on staff was warned not to accept drinks or invitations from him. Not sure what year this happened but I am guessing it was pretty early in his career. This was a horrible open secret for decades and nobody seemed to care.

Fantastic coverage of this tragedy. I grew up, watching his shows, and it took years for me to believe he wasn’t telling the truth. No media company covered this issue properly and I appreciate your effort to make such a comprehensive summary.
The fact he was released blows me away. This man, regardless of his status in tv or film deserves the same sentence as any Joe Blow who did the same crimes. I guess justice is blind when you have enough paper or influence
His release, unfortunately, is the fault of the detective, who promised him his words in a civil case wouldn't be used against him in a criminal case, and then went on and did just that.

Exactly what I was thinking. A disgusting man, but id assume his wife knew. I've noticed some older black women will protect and stand by their man no matter what, it's a fear of being alone. She stood by him, even holding his hand as he walked out of jail. Remember the Aaron Hernandez case, he killed his friend who was dating his girlfriend's sister. she stood by him, went to the trial every day, sat across from her family and defended him.

Completely at home with royals and politicians, given keys and rooms in institutions for the most vulnerable young people. Decades long career in entertainment. As long as the image is right, and the establishment can bask in the celebrity glow, it's all okay. This shit is still happening, no doubt. It just got a little riskier.
Accusations, don't, dictate the charge of a crime
Statute laws can't acknowledge the charge of an accusation !
Our constitution , similar , or exactly,
suited to your laws, give rights to the victims, with those rights extended equally to those accused !
This was not the balance of justice!
I saw the documentary about him on Netflix. The guy was an absolute monster.
I would also like to see the channel cover my country's (Brazil) embodiment of human excrement, João de Deus
That dude never got caught or exposed either, right? He died and *then* it became widely published and people started to talk about it🤦♂ Also because he was dead he couldn't have his knighthood stripped.
Cosby managed to get out of jail due to proesecutorial incompetence, but at least he served 3yrs; at least everybody knows about it while he's still alive and knows he's a scumbag; and he's still getting sued and perhaps there's a chance he'll get charged criminally again before he dies.
@@Mojave702what
i’m not american nor have i ever lived in america, but my family would watch the cosby show every week because my parents loved it so much. to be honest, it was a great show that had such smart humour and was relatable to so many people. i couldn’t believe what i was hearing when i learned about how bill cosby a crimes in real life, it makes me think i can’t take anyone i see on screen at face value, even when they’re not acting.
Watching Little Bill, the Cosby Show, and Fat Albert with my family are some of my fondest memories. I remember how inspiring it was as a black kid seeing someone who looked like me be so funny and beloved. It’s so heartbreaking knowing who he really is, and how he fooled everyone for so long. Very proud of all the victims who spoke up.
❤
Broke my heart
Hey hey hey!!! It's molesting Albert!
I used love watching little bill as a kid but now after all this new information coming out makes me sad because not really knowing what going on behind the scenes ☹

Not really knowing what happened .
Or if it happened !
As part of the younger generation, thank you for covering this. I feel like I’ve never been inclined to read into the full story since the majority of incidents happened before I was born, it’s really captivating to see your coverage on the case and I’m glad you are educating us on the full story today.
i second this, great video on an awful topic
I remember hearing about it as a kid and being endlessly fascinated even though I didn't know who he was. I did watch little Bill though
You should get in the habit of reading about things that happened before you were born, considering 98% of everything that has ever happened happened before you were born.
@@doob- Generally speaking, I do, however this is one case regarding criminal allegations I had never had the energy to deep dive into. Always a bonus when dreading covers the story.
Both sides of my family are from Las Vegas, and my dad hated Bill Cosby decades ago, because he said his friend was assaulted by Cosby in the 80s, and I always thought he was making it up, imagine my shock
This one really hurts, I grew up watching Fat Albert and watching all the jello commercials, the Huxtables. I loved him, he was a dad to us all no matter what color we were. To find out he was actually a predator makes my skin crawl. I even had a hard time believing it at first. But in the end, I realize they can’t all be lying for money. He really did do this, and it breaks my heart.
they can.
same as michael Jackson
you don't know, what sects can do... even with mass groups.
Michael Jackson didn’t do it
@@elouisehosch1016And you know this how?
@@michelehafey2607 It's a case of how we heard rumors about Jackson being a pedophile, then when he died we heard he wasn't, and in fact was sexually impotent, and years later we heard charges again that he was a pedophile. We cannot even get a straight answer from the news media.
@@elouisehosch1016 The news media told us that MJ was a pedophile, then when he died, said he never molested any kids, and even indicated he was sexually impotent. Then years later we heard he really was a pedophile. Which story should we believe?
And people still insist that he’s innocent.
Ugh. The fact that he’s not currently rotting the rest of his life away in prison is disgusting.
@@Mojave702 60 damn women accused him. Even if one was lying (which I easily doubt), then guess what? Still plenty of others he either attempted to sexually assault or did sexually assault. Either way it’s a crime.
(Also the courts be stupid as shit doesn’t indicate innocence)

No he isn't his conviction was overturned in 2021 and was found to be completely innocent. The whole process against Cosby was a crime against justice and everyone involved should be publicly executed for what they did to Cosby. The Judge in the case campaigned on the parole he will convict Cosby in his run for the DA he lost and still refused to remove himself from the case, his wife held protests inside his courtroom and was the leader of the MeToo organization in Philly. They fabricated evidence, completely ignored his constitutional rights and rigged the jury against him.

I know it has been said and repeated but I feel so betrayed. I truly admired Bill Cosby for so many years and marveled at the warmth, and love and goodness of being a human being that he (seemed to) embody. I met him with my twin brother when we were 10 years old and we were blown away at his awesome demeanor - so disheartening to learn his real personality.
Still remember Eddie Murphy's bit about Cosby calling Eddie about using the word "fuck" in his shows
🤣 Lol was that Eddie Murphy Raw? I remember that joke
Such a brilliant bit by Eddie Murphy also gotta love Richard Pryor
What a disgrace. It’s such a shame that his behavior continued for so long and that he was able to use his celebrity power to cover up his crimes. Just a nasty nasty man.

Drugs prostitution-drugs embezzlement extortion identity theft
yes! i was born in 98 and didn’t hear about r kelly’s crimes until mid 2010’s so i dont know the whole story
I was born in 1977 and I grew up with his stand-up and The Cosby Show. It broke my heart when I found out what a truly horrible human he was. I'm sure that the women he abused never saw it coming and maybe doubted their experiences because of his outward appearance of being a family man.
Me too. I loved Dr. Huxtable and that’s who I thought he was. To find out the truth was heartbreaking.
Been curious because he was a mainstay in my youth
That's one Hell of a gaslight
You highlight the whiplash his victims felt when his true intentions were revealed, and the self-doubt: I find that the most tragic aspect.
I'm sure they do. I'm a survivor of a different abuser who is similarly beloved on a much smaller scale, and the second guessing is horrible.
Very well done, and to think that he just announced a tour in 2023. The man has no shame, and I'm glad you laid out the facts to let people know exactly who he is.
That’s a shock to me! He’s so decrepit!
Also, love your channel.
people are probably going to go too😧
Let’s hope will smith goes and slaps him! 👋
crossover episode!
He’s 85. What’s he gonna tour nursing homes?!!!!
I’m from Australia and the Cosby Show was a staple in our house. Unbelievable that this was allowed to go on for so long considering the characters he played and who the audience was
I believe Camille has known about Bill from Day One
Please cover the murders and cover up of Don Henry and Kevin Ives in 1987. Two teenage boys who accidentally stumbled upon a corrupt prosecutor and police officers who were running drugs in Arkansas. A dozen other murders followed to cover up their murders after they failed to have the deaths determined a double suicide. Insane story. So many twists. Would love to hear your take
You could make a video covering it 🙂
@@Leoprincess3038 I don't have a "True Crime" channel and they literally ask for suggestions in the comments on every video
I think that would be very interesting! I’ve never heard.
I've never heard of that one, but it sounds like something worthy of a long video.
@@frogluck The tv show unsolved mysteries showed that case. It's on a yt channel with their other episodes. I've watched other channels do that case.
It's very obvious that the first recorded assault is not the first time he assaulted someone. He was too confident with what he was doing.
It makes sense, esp when you realize he started work at a bar…
@@eerielconstantine5051 oh you’re right. Who knows how many peoples drinks he was drugging as a bartender
Obviously, since by then, the other secretaries already knew not to go to his house.
Exactly. It is entirely possible that there are victims of BC who are now dead or still alive but way too traumatized!
If we know of 40, imagine all the women we don’t know about.
This is so informative!!! Fantastic reporting; I love this kind of content!🌻🌼🐝
The thing I'm noticing now is that he seem to have always been an awful person with an awful personality, not just because of fame. It's not a star going down due to fame, it was always going to be like that and fame just gave him the power to multiply the damage he always wanted to do to girls.
No one is born like that. Besides having something biologically abnormal about him, he almost certainly has an extreme trauma history.
It’s also possible Bill Cosby’s own childhood could have had some dark events and stories in it that Cosby either chose to not make public or created a lighter facade to hide the darker reality of for his stand-up comedy and tv shows that created his dark real life persona. Bill Cosby’s father was an alcoholic and his mother only worked as a maid. This likely means that Bill Cosby, his parents and his wife Camille were likely living in poorer areas with an income that never went above the lower middle class until Bill Cosby got his role in I Spy
I’ve always wondered how much his wife Camille Cosby knew! She obviously played a huge part at making him seem safe. As the allegations where going on their entire marriage. And why!? Did Camille turn a blind eye to the abuse Bill with bravado inflicted on other young women even when she was present within the same home/next door and and why? Camille has to continued to co sign Bill’s abhorrent abusive behaviour. Till this day.
$$$$$
She looks drugged in that interview - her broad, closed mouthed, almost beatific smile is totally inappropriate,
@@adamp108 ♥️ have you heard Camille speak!? She’s more dominant than him. Camille calls the shots, she’s forceful and Bill follows. Camille’s no wallflower. She knows what time of the day it is.
@@adamp108 ♥️ interesting “evil mommy” maybe! I just have always seen Camille as more of an accomplice. She’s like the “stagehand” that preps the stage for the the actors performance.
@@adamp108 ♥️ Good points. But we all just assume she never knew! We hope she didn’t. But she has separated herself from Bill more than once taking the kids, from him (that’s a power play) during their marriage, but they have always reconciled/accommodated to each other. When you see them in interviews it’s like they are best buds! And yes I do think she could break him. She holds the cards.
The worst part is the hypocrisy
These are really good- I always enjoy the reporting
it's crazy how many people knew about this over the years yet this man was still able to assault multiple more women as time went on. hollywood is disgusting & so is this man.
thank you for covering this dreading 💜

Check the Illuminatti and how they work. Ever see the Kanye West video where they are all in bed together, naked, including Cosby. He's out now.
“I brought you into this world, I can take you out.” My incredibly abusive parents LOVED this joke - birds of a feather…..
He used to joke about his wife beating their children too.
My mom said that once when I was 14
I love and really appreciate the way your trigger warnings are always candid and honest, thank you.
He seemed to be more a narcissist than a competitive person when you dig into his backstory.
The smug look on Cosby's wife's face during the ET interview is beyond sickening. She had to know all the allegations were true. Too bad she wasn't held criminally liable.
She was a victim of his too
She chose to believe her husband. People of a certain age are taught to believe and act that way.

You think someone should be charged for a crime they had nothing to do with simply because you don’t like their attitude? 🤦🏽♀️
She was very smug, and I have no doubt she knew. However, you can’t convict somebody for having a dismissive attitude. If that was the case, a lot of folks would be in jail. Nor can you convict someone just for believing they knew. You have to have evidence that they were complicit and knew of his activities. There’s no known evidence against Camille Cosby. although one of the victims did claimed that she didn’t know and was actually there when Cosby allegedly assaulted her. And who is the say Camille didn’t have her own thing on the side?! I’ve always maintained she probably was getting action herself, but anyone that’s ever seen Camille in her younger days, let’s just say I doubt she had the drug anybody to get any action.
My mum saved me after I got roofied at a bar when I was in my early 20's. It was the worst feeling and I've never been to a bar since. I couldn't imagine what those girls went through. Thank God my mum had a bad feeling and decided to wait for me outside the bar

Yeah, she is hot, but you can expressed that with tact and class. And none of the people you named did anything but! Cosby‘s was particularly creepy, but Gordon Ramsay and Ellen DeGeneres wasn’t much better.
@@EVGriffinJr ITA 100% - there is definitely such a thing as 'pretty privilege,' but you can also see the downside with the example of Sofia - I think Ellen is the most disturbing out of the examples I gave...because she's doing it to another woman; which is so gross, under the guise of entertainment, and subjects her to it on multiple appearances.
@@MrSaltphone I never have seen the Ellen one, but given some of the stuff that I’ve heard about her, I wouldn’t doubt it.

it reminds me of the Jimmy Saville story where people can't come to terms with separating the monster from the good deeds they've done; they aren't mutually exclusive, you can be a monster and still do good things sometimes. I can't believe his verdict got overturned, that's super disappointing to hear
What a terrible example, Saville had no good deeds, just good cover stories.
When the jimmy Saville crimes were being posthumously revealed, I was trying to think of a American comparison to comprehend it and I just randomly chose Bill Cosby. Turned out I was too right.
@@jedross2136 weird take, I'm not excusing anything either of these gross men or what they did, but they both covered it with lies and good deeds (whether the intention is morally good or not doesn't make some of the things they did NOT good).

Bill Cosby had alot of access to young girls and teens as many celebrities in Philadelphia. As a teen at a major athletic event for up and coming athlete's called the Penn Relays, I remember how out of nowhere Cosby popped up to "console" me. Everytime I read the article from the 90s Inquier news paper, it gives me a sick feeling all over again of how much access he and many others had.
Parents and coaches weren't allowed where celebrities often were and many nearing adults would encourage his arm around u for a photo because he's Bill Cosby.

SO thankful for all the work that went into this. as a viewer who voiced disappointment that it seemed a lot of this channel's content was becoming trial footage, this is masterful storytelling and a true testament to the care this channel provides to conveying victims' stories. thank you, this is an incredible one.
I have a nephew who is a black man in his early 20s. He offhandedly mentioned that he thought Bill Cosby was innocent a few Christmases ago. I asked him if he thought 60 women were lying about being assaulted and he wouldn’t say yes. I told him I believed most of the women and that he should listen to the interviews before declaring Bill Cosby’s innocence. I don’t know if he ever did or what he thinks about it now. Thank you for the coverage!
maybe you could send this to him and be like “wow i didn’t know he did xyz”
I believe every woman who came forward.
I’m guessing he thinks OJ was innocent too?
I was doubtful for the first few, especially when it was decades after the fact. People do lie, and especially so if their is the ability to get attention.
As the people who came forward entered the double digits i started leaning heavily towards guilt.
After what happened to Herman Cain, it's understandable.
I never watched Bill Cosby and I always felt that he was not genuine, but rather, he was a phony. I can't point to any specific reason for this feeling. But I do seem to have an instinct for detecting a phony person, a person who outwardly seems like a nice person but really is a creep. It maybe is something about their eyes ..... but being raised by two narcissists certainly helped me develop this skill. Everyone thought my father was a wonderful person, but I really hated him because I knew the nasty side of the man that he never let anyone else see, and I hated that about hin.
thank you for covering these types of cases. it really helps people move on
Have you moved on from the acquittal yet?
i’ve said this in another comment section, but the content warnings in these videos are really appreciated. true crime desensitizes a lot of viewers to descriptions of violence, so we think we won’t be effected by these stories. sometimes i think i can handle it, and then the warning is given, and i think to myself “maybe not today.” it’s saved me a lot of stress as a victim of sexual violence. thank you.
Agreed. I'm glad you said this. Because too, it's up there is some clown ass hat making jokes about the trigger warnings, clearly their snowflake sensibilities were triggered by the warning I guess
Can not even imagine how it must effect you. I know we want to listen to stories that are the same as what we experienced, sometimes it helps to know you are not alone but often the triggers are too much. I experience it with child abuse stories, sometimes it just takes me back way to far.

Everything Dreading covers is upsetting. Why are the warnings even important to you if you know you'll watch the video anyway? I mean, I get it for people who heed the warnings, and click off the videos because of them, but why do they matter for someone that will consume the material regardless? Lots of people post about how thankful they are for his trigger warnings AFTER they've watched his videos, and I just don't get it.
@@dragonsky799so you have the option. Even if you do end up watching the full video, you know what you're getting into. You can mentally prepare youself. Not every case is the same, you can't know beforehand what topics exactly will be talked about and there are some days you may be able to handle certain information, and on some days you need to protect your own well being and click off. But either way, if the warning is there, you can better judge what might be ok or not okay for you to hear in the moment. Maybe you realize that you can't handle a certain topic currently, but still want to watch the video later and come back to it. It's good to know before any harm is done.

I remember in the early 90s watching a made for tv documentary about the Playboy Mansion and part of it was all about the celebrities who regularly attended the mansions parties. They talked about Cosby a lot and how he was there all the time. I remember thinking how that was really weird due to the personality he'd cultivated over the years. Men who are squeaky clean don't regularly go to the Playboy mansion.
It doesn't mean that they're not allowed to
A friend did a tour opening for Cosby in the early 80s. Said he was not a nice man, particularly if you were a staff person serving him.
So....he had to repeat a grade and he was so embarrassed, felt so inadequate that he had to just drop out altogether . That's really pathetic and screams volumes to his character in my opinion. Especially with him having to literally be the best at every little single thing he tries. It would drive me insane if I was his wife...I would have left him years and years ago, but that's just me. It speaks on how he carried himself in his later years and why he felt he could get away with his crimes.
It seems that he was a textbook narcissist from an extremely young age. I’m very curious to know what his early childhood was like.
Plus, it speaks to ego and his sense of pride that he felt so bad about being held back a grade. I wants had to go to summer school just so I could advance to the next grade. I was a little embarrassed, but I did what I had to do and got over it. Sounds like to me Mr. Cosby had a massive ego and just wanted his way when he wanted it and would not take no for an answer.
Same thing for his activities, he wanted power and control. It wasn’t about getting some. Because of it was just about that, There were plenty of women that would’ve slept with him just because he was bill Cosby, but he chose this sickening route. Why appreciate his comedy and some of the things he put out there, particularly a different world, as that’s the only show of his, I can watch without feeling uncomfortable, mainly because he’s generally not on it, I cannot cover up for the person that he has been revealed to be. And I heard he’s trying to go on tour again?! Mr. Cosby, and I know you’ll never see this, but do yourself and the rest of us a favor, and just sit your behind down! It’s over!
Of course he was embarrassed at being held back. There’s nothing unnatural about that. Think back on being a kid and about how you’d feel about it.
Not be the best, but look like he's the best in other's eyes. Very different.
The verdict was overturned
Reminder that you are more likely to be sexually assaulted by someone that you know! Never assume you are “safe,” just because you’ve known each other for a while!
And if you did trust someone? It’s not your fault.
Thanks for that. I posted my own personal story on a video about this before (not this channel, but about the bill cosby stuff), and said that when I was assaulted, I was too drunk to remember and my friend had to tell me it happened in the first place. People were horrible. I know, I don't expect empathy from the internet, but people told me it was all my fault and I'm fat, and no one would do that to me because I'm fat. :/
Sadly you are right I was groomed and sexually abused by a family friend of my mothers when I was 4 years old
His wife just sitting there smiling next to him is so insane to me.
Great show, Mr. Dreading. I thought Cosby spent some serious time behind bars. I always felt that there was something mean spirited behind that smiling face.
The women,
Without police reports or medical records, that has to identify a victim a with crime
They"re not thought of individually by name
It's just a number, it can't determine guilt
It violates, the individual rights of victims.
These, are alleged consensual, alleged non consensual women, that return,
It doesn't explain, deviant predatory behavior !
Civil lawsuits, without limitations,
can't replace, statute of limitation laws, in a criminal trial
It's a political means of extortion!
Testimony, with a use of Benadryl, misidentified as blue,
with a color history, of pink, not potent enough to render unconsciousness,
can't be an illegal use of quaaludes which used to be white, before being banned on the world market in 1991
There are no official records !!
It amounts to six counts of perjury
Accusations, of 10 years that are rejected, can't become a criminal, mistrial.
Mistrials dispose of statements with found evidence.
When a mistrial is declared
The supreme court can't overturn a verdict on a technicality.
It's the highest ruling !
Haven’t watched yet but I am so glad to hear you talk about this. I watched the documentary where they showed numerous clips of him talking and joking about what he would do to women like it was normal. Hearing people still deny it makes me sick. Sometimes it feels like so many have forgotten. Thanks for covering this
@@ekko6757 no
Bill Cosby is move the greatest entertainers of all time. He’s also unfortunately one of the sickest. Wow I always love the Cosby show and what it brought to people, specially Black people, you can’t deny the unspeakable things he did. And while I don’t believe every single woman that has come out against Bill Cosby, way too many of the stories add up.
@@ekko6757 you trolling?
Yeah I can’t believe he’s even talking of returning to stand-up! But apparently there are ppl (Ekko) that do still want to hear him…?!
@@robinmcinarnay7827 that’s a no for me. He needs to just sit down and just stay out of the spotlight at this point. He’s almost as arrogant as Vince McMahon. What am I saying? He is as arrogant as Vance!
If I want to see Cosby, I’ll check out an episode of the Cosby show! At least, then, I can pretend he’s Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable! Especially in the early episode!
Like I said, in my earlier post, while he is one of the greatest entertainers of all time, and he did do a lot for the image of Black people in America, I can’t deny the evil things that he’s done either. So no, even if the tour came through my way, it would be a hard pass for me!
He always looked like a creep to me. He acted like one... He was so fake, and always always looking the wrong way at women.
I got yelled at any time I talked about it, but I was right the entire time. I felt horror knowing how right I was... I thought I would feel vindicated.
I just felt empty and angry.
What’s the wrong way to look at women???
Me!!! I always got a weird feeling watching the Cosby Show... my dad especially grew up with him so I never said a thing. His comedy was always so bland and creepy? Idk ur comment just unlocked a memory i must've buried
Yes, agree. Going waaay back, to one of his comedy albums mentioning getting his wife to give him sex, even when she wasn't in the mood, implying she was never in the mood, and him saying "She's Catholic, Pope says you gotta do it!" I was a little kid and that didn't sit right. And then the Cosby show, always made him look like the smartest guy in the room, the kids stupid and the wife "the whole package, beautiful, smart, yet still, not his equal. Oh! And gosh! It was the sexist sixties, but I Spy was SO misogynistic!!! I wonder if Eartha Kitt had some stories. 🤔
Never trust anyone who has to act like a mush-mouthed imbecile in order to seem harmless.
@@sharonthompson672the Cosby show’s female characters (excluding the one episode extras Cosby SA’d when they weren’t on set) were also played by actresses who either got their big break with the role on that show or gained credibility with Hollywood executives for their guest role appearances to gain a more prominent role elsewhere. Cosby already had A list celebrity status for over ten years before the first Cosby show episode.
The real issue with The Cosby Show is the fact that the two writers behind the concept of that larger than life tv show (because the Cosby Show was the most popular tv show at a time where owning tvs in your residence was easy, but there were still far less entertainment tv networks for tv shows to compete against in ratings) never got anywhere near the level of credit for the show they deserved. Most people outside of Hollywood who did not have industry connections assumed Bill Cosby created the concept for the Cosby show as well
Bill Cosby's fall is on par with OJ Simpson's descension to hell.
I feel about Cosby like I feel about Rolf Harris. I enjoyed both of them as a child, and have enjoyed their intellegent and creative contributions. It is very disappointing to learn about the other side to these guys.
I grew up watching the Cosby show its sad how devious he was.Its just horrific how many actors,comics and wealthy men got away with this behaviour for years ! As a woman it’s heartbreaking to think about what the victims went through 😢 Great in-depth look at this monster .
He hurt so many girls/women 😔 What a waste of talent... I hope those he hurt have healed and recovered to have a positive, loving, supportive and caring life 🙏 ❤
Was it a waste of talent? He had a long successful career, just like all Hollywood predators do.
He hurt so many girls/women by giving them a drug, that enhances their high on coke. When they said the drug he was being accused of drugging them with. I fell out laughing.
@@Name-oz4lq @Name yes correct sorry I should of said what a successful career now tarnished due to all the allegations...
I'm a child of the 70s and he has always kind of just been there, but not everyone was always impressed by his "talent". His jokes were always lame and his whole schtick was completely banal, which is exactly why Hollywood was able to push him as a family-friendly comedian. I can't recall ever finding his routine funny at all.
@@kellyhardingham8063 you mean tarnished due to the conviction. He's a rapist. No "allegations" about it. It's already been proven and confessed. So he's not arguing about his innocence: why are you???
Your genuine thoughtfulness towards trigger warnings, and overall awareness of mental health is appreciated. In my experience it takes one to know one, i hope you're well and happy sir ❤
Good, thorough telling of the facts.
Good, but definitely Not Thought.
With the way TH-cam is handling content recently, thank you so much for still uploading. I know I've commented something similar before, but your content helps get me through long days at work and keep my brain distracted from itself.
Also, know if you ever decide to pursue a different form of content there are many of us that will love anything that you upload!
I still can’t believe it’s only been a year since you started this. You are doing so good!
I am not impressed.
@@warrax111what would impress you?
@@johnynoway9127 non-gen-Z nonsense.
@@warrax111 ....elaborate please
@@johnynoway9127 - Given the quality of their response to your first question, and the indulgent negativity in their response to OP, I'm kinda shocked you *want* them to elaborate.
Very well done video.. my first impression of your channel is a very good one !!
Please do a story on Rabbi Fred Neulander..
Love your vids keep ding whst your doing 😎
When I was a child I saw a movie that had a character that really scared me, Calibos in Clash of the Titans (1981). When the Cosby show aired I remember seeing Bill for the first time and I burst into tears, he looks exactly like the monster Calibos.
Oh my gosh that is one of my favorite movies. Bills a double life creep but I don’t see the resemblance lol.
Surely, you mean Lord Kramdar. Praise Lord Kramdar.
"He viewed learning as a waste of time." Yeah, that tracks.
"The show [I Spy] broke barriers, being the first weekly dramatic television series to feature an African American in the starring role. Because of this, four states declined to air the show..."
Lemme guess, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
Back in the '70s, when I was 9 or 10, we had some family friends who worked in Las Vegas hotels. They liked to name drop the celebrities they'd met and were glad to offer their opinion of them. (She's an air head; she's arrogant, he's pretty cool). When Bill Cosby's name came up the woman in the pair became visibly angry and didn't want to talk about him even though the guy seemed to like him. I thought it odd, but in retrospect, she'd clearly heard some things.
Strap in because this is going to be a wild ride. I'm sure a lot of people can agree when I say that this is the biggest celebrity scandal/fall from grace because how big he was when I grew up, what he stood for and because how big and horrible his crimes were. I'm sure the details will be done tasteful as usual regarding the victims, I've stayed away from listening to the whole story until now. When I first told my dad the news he didn't believe me because it was like if you found out that Mr.Rogers was a serial killer for 40 years.
I love this channel
Wow. Speechless. Great video.
Can you imagine him trying to go on tour now??? THAT would be funny.
My grandpa met Bill when my dad was in Vietnam. My grandpa told Bill that my dad was over in the war and was a big fan. Bill told my grandpa to go away and leave him alone. I haven't liked Bill since the 90s.
Didn’t happen
King Cole Trio was radio program in 1946, and Nat King Cole Show on TV in 1956 So before Bill Cosby. Soul Train in 1965 also.
I heard about this from an entertainer and a former employee ( he asked me not to write anything about Cosby negative, ever). I loved Bill Cosby so much! But I believed that he was creepy. I felt bad for my friend when it came out in the news. I told everyone that it's true no matter how much it sounds fake.
I love this channel because I don’t have time to read up on these cases, but I do have time to listen with headphones while I work. I’ve always wanted to know more than 5min blurbs from a news outlet or talk show. I appreciate the in depth information and am glad to finally know things I’ve been so curious about. Thank you dreading 👌
Your channel is now my favourite for true crime, and I consider myself an expert on incredibly compelling and well narrated content. Thank you for what you do! ❤
