I don’t get how or why the defense is trying to sell Family Man Huxtable. Even if it was consensual (HA!) he’s still a rampant adulterer. How does that jive?

... I’m going to need a translation here.

Let me remind you of the Jian Ghomeshi trial of 2016. EVERYONE in Canada knew he was guilty of what he was charged with.

POC can be racist, too. I don’t think “most likely to be a terrorist” would ever be seen as a racially neutral award, even if the teacher were Middle Eastern.

A person, African American or otherwise, who hates herself.

I have a family member who died because he was an alcoholic. His relationship with his wife was a toxic relationship. They were separated and she came back and took care if him while he was dying. She readily admits that their relationship was toxic and not just because of his addiction but because of her anger at his…

Disrupts her life? What life? She’s a fucking reality TV star. Who gives a shit?

I’m sure Destiny thought it was shitty to have her father’s hospital recovery leaked to the tabloids as well (Hi Kris).

What if it was? She’d be in a better position to know than most.

I hope the DA does a good job of explaining why. Powerful men in a position to mentor you are also those who will feel entitled to come on to you. They wouldn’t try it if you were a man but they do this to women and if you don’t learn to brush it off you will never get as far as the men who don’t have to deal with…

Really? On the contrary, I think it shows why he knew he’d have to rape her if wanted sex.

Thanks! Unfortunately, the courtroom restrictions on recording/transmitting/who can leave or stay in the courtroom aren’t ideal for putting together thorough stories quickly; any/all typos are accidents. So thank you for being understanding and not just leaving the more common “typos, you suck” comment.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. So his defense isn’t that Cosby didn’t drug and sexually assault multiple women. It’s that he did it, but he didn’t think he was doing anything wrong (legally, ethically, morally, etc.) because he thought they all wanted it in that manner? (Never mind the fact that Ms.…

I didn’t even read it as her having an involuntary orgasm; she said she was unconscious. I read it as Cosby just being a liar who made that part up to try to have plausible deniability with regard to consent.

Yet again, Diana, you are a champion when it comes to covering and writing about these stories.

Andrea Constand is so brave. And what I got from her testimony is that Cosby spent a long time grooming her. His fixation on the fact that she had an involuntary orgasm when he violated her is disgusting.
