Disgraced comedian Bill Cosby is trying to get make us forget that over 40 women have accused him of sexual assault by attempting to do some PR interviews to support a charity that helps children's education in Alabama. Yeah -- not happening! Unfortunately for Cosby -- he couldn't seem to avoid questions from ABC News’ Linsey Davis about the plethora of claims from women that he drugged and raped them.
During the interview which was featured on today's Good Morning America, the former Cosby Show star, who was on hand to raise awareness for the Black Belt Community Foundation, was asked about what he would do if a child asked him about the allegations.
Cosby evaded the pointed question with a rambling answer:
- I am prepared to tell this young person the truth about life. I’m not sure that they will come like that. I think that many of them say, well, “You’re a hypocrite. You say one thing, you say the other.†My point is, okay, listen to me carefully. I’m telling you where the road is out. Now you wanna go here? Or you wanna be concerned about who’s giving you the message?
Huh?
When the Davis asked the fallen icon if he was worried that his accusations would tinge his message to help the education system in Alabama, he replied: "I’ve been in this business 52 years. I’ve never seen anything like this. And reality is the situation. And I, I can’t speak."
What?! The mere fact that the reporter asked about the allegations in the interview which was Cosby had intended to be about children's education makes it clear that his message is being overshadowed by this controversy!
In the interview, the septuagenarian also said he has still great ideas for TV shows. "I have a ton of ideas to put on television about people and their love for each other," said Cosby.
That sounds like a terrible idea, Bill. No one wants to see your comedies. We want to see you in jail -- but since that doesn't seem possible because of the statute of limitations -- maybe you should lay low and wait to shuffle off this mortal coil?
