Bill Cosby is a noble man.


Except for the drugging and raping women part. Other than that, a fine man with principles and integrity. Yep......

...which was never proven. The only evidence was accusers' testimony.

THAT IS A STUPID FUCKING STAND. NOEMOJI

He admitted to giving women Quaaludes before sex. I mean, why is he carrying Quaaludes around and offering them to women before sex? Is he just a nice guy who wants to calm their nerves? Why not just say, "do you want to have sex", and leave it at that? Why is he offering sedatives?

It was the trendy drug in Hollywood back then, and people used to combine sex and drugs. They took them voluntarily, so I don't see the problem.

reply

You see no problem with always walking around with Quaaludes so that you can offer them to someone before sex?

reply

That apparently was the "in" thing to do in elite circles and Hollywood back in the day.

reply

It continued until 2005.

reply

In the context of the culture and era it probably would have been very normal.

reply

Why not just say, "do you want to have sex",

He did that. Decades ago, (before the litigation became widely known), I worked for a day with a woman who was a former Playboy bunny. She said that his comedy routines, where Cosby discussed his loyalty to his wife, were a pack of lies. While working, she said Bill Cosby approached her and said, "Do you wanna f***?"

reply

No, I mean why didn't he just leave it at that? Drop the Quaalude stuff.

reply

a lot of hollywood types screwed around without using drugs.

reply

Of course. But to walk around with Quaalides and offering them to women before having sex is suspicious. It's like a man going up to a woman at a bar and going "do you mind having sex with me after I get you drunk?"

reply

i guess it wasn't about the sex for him.

There have been several groups where women slipped stuff in men's drinks at bars, and then used their credit cards to run up huge bills, thousands of dollars. Jennifer Lopez made a movie, Hustlers (2019) about the group who did it in New York. CNBC's American Greed show highlighted a similar scheme in Florida, where immigrant women were hired by men to do it. Men went to jail for arranging this.

Bill Cosby was allegedly doing the same thing. Women were not willingly taking drugs from him. He was slipping them in their drinks, and they'd wake up in a bed, having been violated by him.

People are warned not to accept drinks, if you did not see it poured.

Cosby was a very known figure. If that had happened, there would have been rumors about it since the 80s. There weren't. This was not about some Hollywood open secret that finally reaches the court. The whole Cosby thing started with the trial and the media starting the witch-hunt... and that happened right after his famous Pound Cake Speech. Oops, what a coincidence.

Compare with Harvey Weinstein, where hearsay happened for years before the trial and before the media widely engaged that topic.

reply

Is she really sure he said that? Because to me it sounded like: "Dah favity vuh wah gah le Jello boodding bops!"

reply

Who you gonna trust, the word of 79 woman or good ole Bill Cosby ?

reply

There's something you should think about: why these 79 women didn't tell anybody about it until the witch-hunt started?

79 women... I guess they should have told family, brothers, sisters, parents, friends, lawyers, therapists... but no, they didn't tell anybody. Food for thoughts.

reply

Where did it say in any of this that they didn't tell anybody?

reply

If they had, they would have called them to testify in the trial.

reply

Why would they do that?

reply

I trust Bill Cosby as much as I trust bungee jumping without the cord.

Ha! When you watch one Norm clip you wind up watching 6 more😄

this could be why you are single.

reply

I disagree. I heard some of his very early comedy work and became a huge fan, but then he got married and had kids. And his humor turned from being hilarious to being nasty, he was extremely critical of his children in his comedy act, especially the daughter Erin who became estranged from him when she grew up.

And this was well before he became "America's Dad". He always had that cruel dark side.

reply

But he was pretty nasty to his son too because he did poorly in school before his dyslexia was diagnosed.

reply

IMHO that parental mean streak carried over to "The Cosby Show", which was very funny, but at times it showed the parents being very demanding, critical, and cold to the kids. The whole "America's Dad" thing gave me the creeps, to me it seemed like he let a little bit of his dark side show on the TV program. I always suspected that he was horrible to his own kids in private.

Still, I was shocked by the revelations of how dark his dark side really is. He let his bad side show in parenting, he kept the sexy part of his dark side strictly out of public view.

reply

Do you believe the rape accusations against him? Or were they just exaggerated?

reply

Watch the 'We Need To Talk About Cosby' doc - it covers the whole ground, the good, the bad - the details.

Cosby is a man who did great public & cultural good and lots of isolated incidents of private evil, over at least four decades.
