LeesburgSkinFan Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I am beyond disappointed this didn't happen. Eddie Murphy would have broken social media if he had done this sketch. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/19/norm-macdonald-describes-writing-snl-40th-and-trying-get-eddie-murphy-play-bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Cosby Claims He's Not A Public Figure To Keep Embarrassing Docs Sealed Bill Cosby, who has sold out arenas, who has been televised into millions of homes, who lectured America on the virtues of buckled pants, who has spoken at rally after rally, who has served on the board of trustees of a public university, claims he is not a public figure. Or rather, that’s the argument his lawyers make in a brief they hope will convince a federal judge to keep under seal a number of potentially embarrassing records from a sexual assault lawsuit. The suit is from 2005, when Andrea Constand went to Philadelphia police with allegations that Cosby had drugged and raped her while she was the director of operations for the women’s basketball team at Temple University. Prosecutors didn’t file charges, citing a lack of evidence, and Constand brought a civil case in federal court. It was settled for an undisclosed amount. The parts of the lawsuit open to public view revealed the inner workings of the American celebrity scandal machine: how the National Enquirer quashed the story of another Cosby rape accusation in return for an exclusive talk with the star; how Cosby’s team tried to shame Constand via anonymous leaks to the media; how mega-agency William Morris’s defensive maneuvers included, apparently, a payout to one of Cosby’s “Jane Doe” accusers. But 13 filings have been kept under seal, at the direction of a judge. On Dec. 29, 2014, the Associated Press—which twice tried unsuccessfully to fight seals in the suit while it was ongoing—asked the court to open the records, citing a local rule for the court district that says seals are lifted after two years unless there’s an objection. Soon enough an objection arrived from Cosby’s lawyers. What follows is their logic as it’s presented in their legal brief. As they argue it, Cosby isn’t a “public person”; these documents are of “no legitimate public interest”; in fact, there is a “a complete lack of legitimate public interest in the subject matter.” As Cosby’s legal team puts it: “This case did not concern a public official, a public company, or other matters of legitimate public concern. Rather, it was a private dispute between two individuals over their personal relationship.” They ask the judge to ignore Cosby’s fame, his fortune, his media pulpit, his lectures, his position with a public university, all on the grounds that he isn’t paid with tax dollars. Cosby, they argue, “is an entertainer, not a public servant.” Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I am glad that I long ago learned to separate the artist from their art. Fat Albert and the Cosby Show hold an important place in our cultural history. Cosby early standup mattered too. The man, it seems, has very brittle clay feet.

StillUnknown Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 So crazy how many ppl blindly believed in him despite the mound of evidence Hero worship is crazy. Even if you were raised by the Cosby show, you should still be able to separate Cliff Huxtable from Bill Cosby. I hope those who helped him cover his tracks are also exposed for the reprehensible pieces of **** that they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 You ain't lying man. So many celebrities came out and tried to spin this into some type of conspiracy against him (Jill Scott, Azelia Banks)... Just because the dude played somebody's dad on TV Unreal Rape culture is real out here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'd temper the urgings I'm reading, in here, towards tarring everybody in the vicinity with a broad brush. Even serial rapists have friends, family members, co workers. People who will defend him, not out of "rape culture", or some desire that celebrities must hang together, or whatever. But because they think they know the guy, and the guy they have in their heads isn't the guy who's being accused. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because they think they know the guy, and the guy they have in their heads isn't the guy who's being accused. Actually, Larry is spot on in this assessment. Years ago, police finally caught the BTK. He was just an ordinary guy, living a normal suburban life. His friends, family, and people at church all thought he was a great guy. These sociopaths are very good at covering up their desires and letting most folks see only what they want them to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) so, all this time, when he had his nose up in the air while criticizing black america....this POS was drugging and raping women. not that I believed he was innocent to begin with, but now that the cat's out of the bag, he better not ever speak on anything again. ever. **** Dr. Huxtable. at least we still got Uncle Phil.

DM72 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Definitely. Not that he was wrong in what he said, but he really needs to be taken to task on his criticism of the black community while he was drugging women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
