“Noting that the woman is not asking to void the entire settlement agreement, he wrote that “obviously, she wants to keep what she was paid” but that she “cannot simply pick and choose which contractual obligations will be void and which will stand.”

I think that the fact *he* never took any make it pretty obvious.

Yes, it was used recreationally during the late 60s and through the 70s. I wasn’t alive then to witness it, but I’ll note that the drug’s known effects include erectile dysfunction, difficulty achieving orgasm, and, at least according to Wikipedia, “sexual arousal (aphrodisia)“. Somehow I doubt that Cosby was also…

Having read a lot of contemporary accounts around sexual behavior during the entire Roman Polanski thing - yeah, the 70s were super fucked up. Age, consent, intoxication, the whole thing was somewhat up in the air.

For me, I don’t know if I can take enough showers to cleanse myself. And, as I said, I did enough recreational drugs to know when one sucks for sex, consensual or otherwise.

Luudes modern counterpart would be roofies. No, Luudes were no good for sex, not for the this asshole’s victims, anyway. They served Cosby though. I’m out of future fucks for Cosby’s Liar’s feelings.

Quaaludes were also the drug of choice by Kim Fowley of the Runaways in the article on his sexual assaults of band members. So this is definitely a reoccurring thing and Cosby is bullshit.

I know nothing about quaaludes or the 70s, but my educated guess is that the idea of quaaludes as part of consensual sex is largely a myth perpetuated by the men who used them. Consent wasn’t so much a concept back then and you basically had to be held at knife point to be considered a rape victims. This is what rape…

I was sarcastically shitting on assholes who use #AllLivesMatter to silence #BlackLivesMatter.

My mom and aunt were BFFs in the 80’s, and used to live together. They were both professional women with hard drug habits (mostly coke and pills) and partied constantly. I lived half time in that house with them growing up. Once I found a photo album full of Polaroids of a bunch of their male friends sticking objects…

It’s a question of dosage like most drugs.

basically from what I’ve read about this case, I have no faith that Cosby recognizes what ‘consensual’ really means.

This was pretty unclear in all the links, not just here. Here’s the deal:

The judge released them to the public so not sure what it has to do with the victim.

My bff’s mom and my mom are also bffs and one time my friend found a letter that my mom wrote to her mom telling her about how she put a quaalude up her butt before doing anal with my dad. So yeah, I think quaaludes may have been used recreationally back then. And yes I’m in therapy.

Poor, poor little Billy.

I could be wrong, but didn’t the Times article say they were able to obtain it from the court records service, not from the woman? It’s not her fault the media went digging. what a bunch of dicks.

Poor Bill. He must feel so violated.
