They arent victims tho

If they're got drugged and were penetrated without their consent, they are victims. Unless your standards are different.

They are, if it actually happened.

And seeing as there has been zero evidence put forth, plus conflicting stories by accusers, I'm going to be a rational human being who can think for themselves, and call ******** on this.

Agree completely. Some of you don't get the concept behind innocent until proven guilty. Sure some people may be defending him out of love for his art and his legacy, but that's to be expected from someone who has done so much for the entertainment industry and black culture in general in the span of his lifetime.

Nobody is perfect and rape is a serious allegation. But regardless of which side you're on, that's all they are right now: allegations. There has been not a single shred of evidence in favor of any of the victims' stories, and all the claims are out past the statute of limitations. You can claim that "it has to be true, there's 50 people that said it is!" all you want, but that doesn't mean a thing when those people have nothing to back up their claims.

I'm not saying the victims are lying. I don't know. They very well may be telling the truth, but witch hunts happen in Hollywood all the time. Crazier things have happened tbh. Try and see Phylicia's point here.

I am very uncomfortable with the narrative that a group of 30+ unrelated women - including entertainment industry professionals, who have more to lose than gain in making allegations - are simply trying to "tarnish" a man's reputation. Rape is a serious allegation, and if those allegations are true, he needs to be brought to justice.

Nobody is saying burn every Cosby show DVD in a bonfire. If the law finds him guilty, then he must serve time.

Miss me with that "but he has a legacy" bull.

Um...

I agree his previous accomplishments are admirable but he joins a long list of powerful men abusing their power and taking advantage of women. Just because he's a television icon doesn't excuse him from sexually violating 20+ women. He knew what he was doing was wrong and should've thought of that before raping them, but obviously he didn't because, like all those other men he didn't think he'd get caught.

I'm very disappointed in Phylicia, I thought she knew better. Rapists aren't evil monsters (well they are but I'm making a point), rapists can be men you work with, men you're friends with, men you admire, but at the end of the day they're still rapists and they should be called out on their behaviour, not excused.

please bitch. if he didn't want his reputation to be tarnish, he should have kept his ugly ass c0ck in his pants away from his victims.. he brought this **** upon himself and finding excuses is just a ****ing slap to the victim's face. I'm tired of this victim blaming just because someone has a ****ing legacy., your legacy do not ****ing give you the right to abuse someone. I'm glad,all these things are happening to him!!

I agree 100% with this.

No offense, but rationality and logic aren't your strong points! Your viewpoints are always littered with bias and lack of objectivity. I will give you credit by saying that at least you're very consistent unlike many of the other people here that pick and choose to be rational when it's advantageous to them.

FYI zero evidence is correct, but not conflicting stories. The stories from the main accusers are very consistent for years like Tamara Green's.

FYI 2 that's the trouble with rape. There has to be an eyewitness and/or rape skit and/or confession. It's very hard to prove.
