Your mother sounds like my mother; I cut her out of my life when I was 16 (I lived with my father) and asked her for an apology for the beatings and neglect that she inflicted upon me. Her response was basically a shrug that I could visualize over the phone. I just had to get on with life knowing that there would be…

The hell is going on in the office today?

She had her back done.

If the Cosby Show is ever renewed, somehow, the intro will feature the Bill and the old cast in vaudeville attire, tapdancing around printed stacks of the rape allegations.

Forget these women! Like we have! For THIRTY FUCKING YEARS.

I don't think there is much else she can say —-if she acknowleges the abuse, it means she knew about it and let it go on—and her name has been linked to his for decades—he made her career.

Oh come on, it's _obviously_ a shadow op run by Ben and Jerry's to discredit Jell-o Pudding Pops by association.

I want to be invited to your party, Allison Janney!!! Pick me, pick me!!!

I know this is not the point, but Raven Symone didn't play his daughter, she was like a step granddaughter or something random like that.

Dear Phylicia,

Maybe her statement has more to do with the fact that this "legacy" is something that she is still financially tied to? Either way this is sad.

Methinks someone who has been reliant on the money that the Cosby Show, as a classic TV show that is still syndicated, still probably brings in is not happy to see that income slow down.

Yeah, it's not like there are any well-documented cases of a man drugging and raping someone only to get away with it and be showered with awards by Hollywood.

The criticism of Keshia Knight Pulliam bothers me. It's obvious she knows nothing about his alleged crimes anymore than the rest of us do but a weight of expectation is being rested on her, and the rest of her female cast-mates.

100% agree. She would feel guilt by association, which she doesn't want to do.

JFC, the lengths people will go to in order to not have to believe the most statistically likely scenario - that a man you know and respect has sexually assaulted women. No no no, it can't be that!! Instead it's an orchestrated conspiracy by some unknown individual(s) that has spanned 4 decades and involves almost 20…

I think it's the unfortunate, standard belief. He was respectful and nice to her, so obviously he must be the same with everyone else.

The fact that she's arguing that we should forget these real women and remember the fictional Cosby family is just amazing. Amazing. Phylicia, you have entered the realm of the surreal.

He's her meal ticket. She can't see the truth without feeling guilt by association. It's sad, but she's blinded by her own selfish needs. What a shame. She has let down so many women who grew up idolizing her and her character.

Jesus god, no.
