• Richard Pryor's Widow: Bill Cosby a 'Hypocrite,' 'Dirty on the Inside'

    Have you noticed that in the last four months few people have come out and publicly supported Bill Cosby? As numerous women continue to come forward, telling similar stories of being drugged and sexually assaulted by the comedic legend, the closest he seems to get to support is having a former co-star vouch for the fact that they were not victimized. Instead, slowly but surely several Hollywood insiders have decided to speak up and explain why they are not surprised by the allegations. Jennifer Lee Pryor, the widow of comedian Richard Pryor, is the latest to come forward, saying Cosby is a "hypocrite" and "dirty on the inside."

  • Sidney Poitier Disgusted by Cosby Allegations

    Bill Cosby's life has changed pretty radically since last November, when one woman decided to write an essay about allegedly being assaulted by him. The bottom has fallen out from under him completely, with NBC and Netflix shelving planned projects and a multitude of his concerts have been canceled. Then there is the fact that venues are not lining up to book him for future gigs, either. Business is bad and, even worse, some of Cosby's oldest friends, such as Sidney Poitier, are turning their backs on him. In fact, Poitier is disgusted by the allegations.

  • Bill Cosby Joked About Rape Allegations While on Stage in Canada Last Night

    Bill Cosby let everyone at his London, Ontario show on Thursday night know exactly how he feels about the sexual assault allegations by various women that have been stacking up against him for the last two months. In a brief exchange with a woman in the audience, the comedian made a joking reference to allegations that he has been drugging and assaulting women for decades. The audience was stunned at first and then began to applaud Cosby's candor.

  • 2 More Women Join Defamation Suit Filed Against Bill Cosby

    Bill Cosby may actually be playing a few gigs in Canada this week, but back in the States his sexual assault scandal just got a little messier. For weeks now various women have come forward to accuse Cosby of drugging and then either assaulting or raping them once they were incapacitated, and finally the comedian decided to start fighting back. He hired investigators to dig up dirt on anyone making accusations, and he has also taken direct aim at any woman brave enough to publicly accuse him of wrongdoing. A defamation suit was filed against Cosby weeks ago by one of his alleged victims, Tamara Green, and now two more names have been added to that suit. According to a report by Page Six: "The amended complaint was filed Monday[, Jan. 5,] in U.S. District Court in Springfield, in western Massachusetts, where Cosby has a home in Shelburne Falls. "Cosby is the only defendant in the lawsuit, originally filed last month by Tamara Green, who said he drugged and assaulted her in the 1970s. The two new plaintiffs are Therese Serignese, who said he drugged and raped her in 1976, and Linda Traitz, who alleges he tried to drug her and then sexually groped her in 1970. "Attorney Joseph Cammarata, who represents the three women, said the civil action allows them to have their allegations heard since criminal statutes of limitation have expired."

  • Bill Cosby to Play Three Shows This Week in Canada

    While Bill Cosby may be having a hard time keeping his career going in the states right now, he will be doing a few of his stand up shows in Canada later this week. Many U.S. venues have either canceled shows that they had previously booked with the fallen star or else he has scrapped some scheduled gigs at the last minute. The end result has been the same, ever since women started to come forward and accuse Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting them, he hasn't been very marketable.

  • Camille Cosby Defends Husband as Bill Cosby Scandal Deepens

    Bill Cosby's life and business has been completely turned upside down over the last several weeks by a series of allegations that are shocking and impossible to ignore. Had just one or two women gone public with allegations of sexual misconduct, then Cosby would probably be standing on much stronger footing right now. Instead, more than two dozen women have come forward to paint the popular actor and comedian as, at best, manipulative and, at worst, a calculating serial rapist who has spent decades drugging and assaulting young women in Hollywood. Through it all, Cosby's wife of more than 50 years has stood by his side, keeping silent — at least until now. Camille Cosby has finally decided to speak up and out on behalf of her husband. She issued a simple statement that was intended to assure people that Cosby is indeed as good a man as the characters he has portrayed. "The man I met, and fell in love with, and whom I continue to love, is the man you all knew through his work. He is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man, and a wonderful husband, father and friend. He is the man you thought you knew," explained Camille. She also went on to liken this scandal involving her husband to the alleged UVA gang rape story that "Rolling Stone" ran before double-checking its sources.

  • Cosby Breaks Silence Amid Scandal, Plays Race Card to Divert Attention

    While women seem to have come pouring out of the woodwork to make allegations against Bill Cosby, for the most part he has stayed tight-lipped. Obviously his legal team has advised him that it is probably in his best interest not to comment, but last Friday Cosby spoke with a Page Six reporter and in the matter of just a few words attempted to play the race card. Cosby has requested that, in spite of all the allegations, the media do their job and remain neutral while covering this scandal and its daily updates. Apparently, Cosby does not expect the majority of the press to be able to do that, as he said, "Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind." It is more than a little bit ironic that Cosby opted to make a statement that would separate journalists by color, especially at this point in time when racial tensions are perhaps at an all-time high thanks to high-profile cases in Ferguson, Missouri, and New York City. Cosby knew what he was tapping into when making that statement, and it also links to a bigger issue that is playing out in the form of protests all over the country.

  • Bill Cosby's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Vandalized with Graffiti - LAPD Begins Investigation Starting at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion

    It seems like not a day goes by when we aren't hearing some new nugget about the ongoing accusations of sexual misconduct against Bill Cosby. Just yesterday, we learned that Judy Huth, the woman who alleges that Cosby molested her when she was only 15 years old back in 1974, actually went and filed a police report. While the statute of limitations in her case may ultimately be up, what this does is open the door for a full investigation, something that the LAPD is ready to do, hopefully starting with some help from Hugh Hefner.
