Bill Cosby’s legacy, recast: Accusers speak out

[Leadeye]

In Hollywood it's the public persona that makes the money, you never really know about the real person because it isn't important.

They have released documents from his deposition in one case and it looks like he's a woman drugging rapist. How fast you can go from admired celebrity to scumbag rapist. You would think a guy like him wouldn't have to resort to such practices. Guess he just got off on it.

APNewsBreak: Cosby said he got drugs to give women for sex

Does "other people" mean men? Bill Cosby admitted in 2005 that he got quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have sex with, and that he gave the sedative to at least one woman and "other people," according to documents obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

I'm thinking it means underage women.

Rapers gonna rape.

Need to check.

Yep, Roman Polanski remains a venerated icon at this time.

Then I guess we can just let Coz slide. No harm, no foul.

Well, the give Cosby the tiniest of holes to squirm out of, it did say the women knew he was giving them those drugs.

Who said that? You mind works oddly.

Hollywood celebrates a fugitive child rapist and does whatever it can to destroy a guy who hasn't been convicted of anything.

Seems legit.

A little consistency would be nice, but isn't really expected.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

I don't know why, to liberals, Bill Cosby's female accusers are credible, but Bill Clinton's aren't.

 

[Leadeye]

There's the public persona and the private persona, organizations make money off the former and conceal the latter to protect their investment. It's how thing work. EOS.

 

[IndyDave1776]

Why did everyone wait so long before talking and now the flood gates are wide open.

They didn't, at least not all of them. I remember hearing about this nonsense out of Cosby 20 years ago.

 

[bradmedic04]

His legacy is shot, simply put. Perhaps that's less important when you still have a couple hundred million in the bank, and no repercussions for a lifetime of being a serial rapist.

One most likely has to be a sociopath to engage in this type of behavior for so long, so I doubt he's feeling too "bad" about this in the way normal folk might. **** him.

Oh yeah, forgot to say "allegedly."

 

[Libertarian01]

Well, our court system takes time but when it rains, at least for Mr. Cosby, it seems to pour.

News from The Associated Press

Many depositions coming. Two (2) motions in two (2) separate courts lost. Four (4) honorary degrees revoked.

The catholic church covered up pedophile priests until it blew up in their face. Hollywood has Mr. Cosby and who knows what collateral damage may come of this.

Regards,

I never did understand honorary degrees

One way to get them: just be famous and come give a speech.

I understand how to get one.
Don't understand the "why".
It's like getting a trophy for a race you've never run.

Yeah, that I don't know. I don't know if I ever did anything to be awarded one, how it would improve my life any.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Sort of like someone becoming an amazing actor... but they never went through acting school. So, the organization awards them the degree because they've shown how accomplished they are at the subject.

In return, they get some PR.
