    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

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?!

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 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.

      I would argue that the entertainment print and national tv media mostly protected Bill Cosby during Andrea Constand’s civil suit against Cosby (because the oldest video clips involving SA allegations against Cosby I could find were from mostly local tv news shows in the PA county of Cosby’s house and Temple university in 2005: and I only saw ones from after then DA Bruce Castor said there wasn’t enough evidence to charge Cosby) by mostly not reporting on the story except for one story from the Today show where Tamara Green (one of his earlier victims) accused Cosby of drugging and SAing her: but that full report made it seem like Cosby could have just as easily been innocent, and there were no other reports aired

    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.

    What I like most about this video is how you separate his good public behaviors and his work from his private horrific acts. So often we assume people are their public face and this is often not the case. His public work was valid and help many people, the work he did actually remains good; this deep dive shows how a persons horrific private actions, once revealed, can spoil their greatest accomplishments. It also shows how someone can use success to insulate them from being held responsible. His public persona render the valid complaints of these women useless.

      Your is the most comprehensive and responsible comment I've seen so far. The human element is there for ALL of us. I'd love (or hate) to have the devious deeds of ALL of the stars and megastars of media from that era, and see just how many had similar situations. So much of what he did at the time was deemed "acceptable," and "just part of becoming successful" during the times it was going on. The fact that so many would accept drinks or pills from him is the part that boggles my mind, although I realize that as the story of his crimes as is being presented to us is cumulative, while for the victims it was pretty normal for a host to offer their guest a drink, or other means for them to take the edge off. But I digress. I'm sure there are a LOT of dirty hands in showbiz, as well as many other hierarchical types of relationships, especially with young, vulnerable, attractive people with the desire to get to the top.

I remember one of his routines was about having the bad fortune to get the”wooky-wooly cart” in the grocery store, the one with one wheel that didn’t work right. I still use that term when I get one of those carts. But I can’t stand him anymore. Always wondered what the hell his wife is still doing with him? I read somewhere that she was going to go to university, but she met him and as a narcissist he love bombed her and within a short while they were married. I read that her parents were against the marriage and wanted her to continue her education. At that time Cosby was just an up-and-coming comic.
