After everything that we have heard about Bill Cosby's true character in recent weeks, it is surprising he has not gone after his multitude of accusers from the start. He may have held back from doing so in the beginning while hoping that all the accusations would somehow just disappear and be discredited on their own. Since the exact opposite has happened, Cosby is now out for proverbial blood.
According to a report by Page Six, Cosby has hired a West Coast-based team of private investigators to dig up any dirt that exists on his accusers. In one meeting with the team, Cosby reportedly said, "If you're going to say to the world that I did this to you, then the world needs to know what kind of person are you? Who is this person that's saying it? You can't say that I put something in your coffee, threw you in a cab and then you go on and live a high-profile life, a famous life and you never complain."
That, quite obviously, is in reference to Beverly Johnson's account of being drugged by the actor while auditioning for his sitcom back in the 1980s.
Do you think Cosby has the right to fight fire with fire and point out the worst in each of his accusers, as they have done to him? After several weeks of being crucified in the press, should the public cringe when he finally decides to tell us all the dirty details about each of his accusers? It seems the comedian is hoping to gain a bit of ground with the general public by bringing others down to his level, but will it actually work, or is this tactic only going to make him look worse in the long run?
Is there any way Cosby can get through this with his career even partially intact? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
