Bill Cosby thread

[ABQCOWBOY]

Smoke = fire but who knows how hot it burned. A great career and legacy is tarnished no matter what the truth is. Even the people who we admire have the darkest of secrets, look at Robin Williams.

Take them for what they are to us........entertainment yet don't look past that for any role-modelisms

Some of the best advice you can give a person, especially a young person, if you can get them to listen to it.

Condemning his alleged actions is the correct action. By law, a female under the influence of alcohol or drugs can not consent to any sex act. Something for you guys out there to think about that like to get a girl drunk to get in her pants... it is rape.

Thread will fly so long as we are all sensible about the subject matter and stay mindful of what is allowed, according to board regs.

I'm the only sensible person here so this thread is going to burn!

He's scum.

He admitted in a deposition he has drugged women for sex.

We are in more trouble then I though.

LOL...

It's sad that he allegedly did all these things to women. I truly thought he was a good and decent man. He was an inspiration. Never thought he would be linked with having a very dark side to him.

This. I don't know if I've ever been so disappointed by someone in my life. I thought he was a genuinely good dude.

Pretty crazy that it was just some comedians act that brought it to life. I grew up watching the Cosby show so I would say this was shocking but something similar happened with a guy called Jimmy Savile. He wife standing by his side is too bizarre.

Refresh my memory... How did he get outed??

Hannibal Buress joked about it and one night it suddenly got traction. Apparently it was well known for years he was rapey and people just ignored it.

I don't know about "rapey", but there was a moment when I knew that Cosby was at least an ***.

He was at some kids house for the draft years ago, and the cameras would check in from time to time as the draft went on. Turns out the kid goes undrafted, he's obviously crushed and Cosby hits him with, "Hey, there's always the CFL."

You could see the hope leave the kids eyes, he just sat there and didn't respond. You could see the hope leave him.

All that being said, I still enjoyed the guy comedy. I never idolize or recommend others idolize celebs because the truth is you have no idea who these people really are. That doesn't mean you can't appreciate their art. For all we know, great artists that are long dead were awful human beings but you're not going to take all their work out of the museums.

Its just kind of weird that people get away with this because of fame, Roman Polanski, Woody Allen there's even some odd rumours about Morgan Freeman....

Everyone, with no exception, has a least some dark side.

But some embrace it more or don't fight it enough...and of course some dark sides are much, uh, darker than others.

 

[Longboysfan]

I think it's pretty clear that some women were along for the fame ride at the time.
I think it's also pretty clear that he set some of these women up and took advantage of them.

Legacy = toilet

Yes and Yes.

 

[Longboysfan]

I think there is still one case that has come to light that is still within the Statute of Limitations...

Interesting....

 

[Longboysfan]

Are you implying that all of these women are merely doing this for their "15 minutes of fame"?

No. I am saying some are for their 15 minutes.
Back that long ago Concerts and groupies did the same thing.
No saying this is right.
But what did they go in there expecting? I know not to be drugged but.....

we're talking 20+ woman making basically the same allegation.

In his case so far......

Smoke = forest fire

What if they are both drunk?
