I cannot believe Bill Cosby flew under the radar for so long

<p>“Could be. Or maybe she was too busy raising their children.”</p>

<p>Well, by the time his NBC show became a hit, his kids were essentially all grown up. Certainly the oldest daughter was an adult, and I think that the (late) son Ennis was of age or close to it. I believe that there are a couple of more daughters but I am not sure of their ages. My point is, if he drugged B. Johnson in the mid-1980s, the kids were on their way out of the Cosby household, so how busy with them could Mrs. Cosby have been?</p>

<p>Some reports make it seem to me that he had a violent temper unlike his public image. Doesn’t that open up the possibility that his wife was a victim of domestic abuse? </p>

<p>From Wikipedia:</p>

<p>That’s a hell of a lot of women. Geez.</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>I think there’s more that may come out about how he treated her. Maybe one of their DD’s will spill. I doubt that he treated her well, when he seems to have little regard for women in general. </p>

<p>Camille Cosby speaks…</p>

<p><a href=“Bill Cosby's wife defends him: 'He is the man you thought you knew'”>http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-bill-cosby-camille-crosby-statement-20141215-story.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>public accusations have been made for at least 10years?
I’m sure if Camille waits a little longer she can come with something a bit more believable.
This makes it sound like she’s piggybacking onto how
Rolling Stone published a story without due diligence.</p>

<p>So, Mrs. Camile Cosby now shares her opinion (complaints) about the Rolling Stone article and compares it to news reports about her husband. Well, that settles it, doesn’t it? I’m convinced. NOT!</p>

<p>All that money and the Cosbys still can’t afford better PR people.</p>

<p>What a betrayal of confidence. </p>

<p>What I find most despicable is that Cosby himself refuses to speak publicly or even give a statement. Instead he puts his wife and daughter out there to defend him, hiding behind them. He is a true coward. Be man enough to get up in front of the cameras and either defend yourself or beg forgiveness. I really dislike this man.</p>

<p>His silence speaks volumes to me.</p>

<p>Kathie Lee reported that he tried to kiss her once, and also over time kept insisting that she drink cappuccino, which she declined. </p>

<p>I am no fan of Kathie Lee but it does not surprise me that she would not fall for the likes of Cosby. She is savvy if nothing else.</p>

<p>Well she’s also well versed in the phenomenon of a much revered and married public figure who is slinking around on the side.</p>

<p>Ok I have heard of Cosby but I never heard of Stephen Collins.</p>

<p>Stephen Collins played the role of the pastor in the TV series 7th Heaven. Many people say that’s the series where Jessica Biel got her first major public recognition role. </p>

<p>I think that everyone who comes across Kathy Lee tries to knock her out. At least I would.</p>

<p>“Well she’s also well versed in the phenomenon of a much revered and married public figure who is slinking around on the side.”</p>

<p>Interesting. So she is aware of the slinking or she is one of the slinkers? Have to stay current after all. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Regarding why Cosby is not making statements himself, his lawyers have probably advised him not to. The statute of limitations has likely run for any civil claims the victims may have. If Cosby publicly denies the allegations – thus calling the accusers liars – he opens himself up to liability for defamation. It is a way around the statute of limitations, if the goal is to bring Cosby to trial on these issues. At least one victim has already filed a defamation case. He arguably shields himself from defamation claims by having others defend him, since he is then making no defamatory public statement. Ironically, his best defense to a defamation claim may well be that no one believes his denials and thus the victims suffer no harm to their reputation by Cosby’s claims that they are lying. </p>

<p>Frank had infidelity issues that became very public.</p>

<p>Oh o.k. I thought you were referring to something more current. </p>
