1. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[LizBeth]

2. Remember the face of a rapist. And another rapist walks free.

[Ms. Toad]

3. Ugh is right.

This is not a case of innocence. Just reading the Supreme Court summary of the testimony - things he admitted to - makes me ill.

He is being released on a technicality. It is an important constitutional principle involved - and as to the principle, I agree it should be reversed. But on the facts in this case - there are grounds (without shreddng the 5th amendment right against self-incrimination - to have affirmed the decision.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

4. He did it and admitted it !

and he did more he never admitted that.

Who would stand up for this scumbag?

Celebrity must be blinding......

[uponit7771]

22. Right ?!

[2Gingersnaps]

25. More like the residuals she is paid rely on it.

Women who enable men who disrespect (ABUSE) women.....

[gratuitous]

30. Blame the previous prosecutor

Back in 2005, prosecutor Bruce Castor came to an arrangement with Cosby and his lawyers that Pennsylvania would not criminally prosecute Cosby for any of his rapey activity in exchange for his testimony in the civil suits being pursued against him by various women.

Pennsylvania tried to get around this arrangement by claiming they weren't bound by Castor's grant of immunity. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court didn't see it that way, and Cosby gets to walk free.

Department of It's-a-small-world-after-all: Bruce Castor was one of the attorneys who defended the former guy in his second impeachment trial. Funny old world.

37. Castor

is not to blame for this. It’s perfectly reasonable for him to have done what he did. The next DA banked on not getting busted for reneging on a deal and he eventually was. He had to know what he did was shaky.

[Blues Heron]

5. He'll do it again if he gets a chance

Hide the Valium Phylicia

[Treefrog]

23. I'm thinking he's probably aged out of that particular activity.

[Blues Heron]

28. not sure that pathology is something you age out of

I wouldn't trust him to be alone with anybody that's for sure.

[Crunchy Frog]

39. I wouldn't count on it. I've known of situations with men quite a bit older than him.

Engaging in some pretty gross, rapey activities.

[JustAnotherGen]

6. Jesus Christ

[live love laugh]

7. Ugh. I'm speechless. nt

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

8. She's a fucking coward, too:

she's prevented anyone but people she mentions to reply to that godawful tweet.

Psst: Just because he didn't rape you, Phylicia, doesn't mean he's not a fucking rapist.

[renate]

9. Exactly

Everything about this tweet is gross.

[Mosby]

20. She's being ratioed anyway with 23k quote tweets.

[TexasBushwhacker]

41. And he probably is didn't touch her because she was

married to an ex football player who probably would have beaten him within an inch of his life.

[Earth-shine]

10. Cosby's incarceration has no doubt resulted in reduced residual TV income for Phylicia Rashad. nt

[durablend]

15. Mhmm

Think about all those DVD sets going unsold!

[Phoenix61]

11. She's Dean of the College of Fine Arts at Howard University.

Fingers crossed the Twitterverse does it’s job.

[sop]

16. Not for long.

[PCIntern]

29. That's what "NFL" stands for...

[wryter2000]

12. I guess he didn't get around to her

Yuck

[hlthe2b]

13. Oh, Phylicia. Getting out on a technicality is NOT a vindication. What part of that...

can you not understand about your "dear friend, Bill Cosby?"

[SallyHemmings]

14. BYE Phylicia!

He is walking on a technicality and should not be accepted in polite company.

[dchill]

19. +1,000,000!

[ShazzieB]

42. Right. He should be a pariah for the rest of his days.

[lame54]

17. She should have drinks with him

[Scrivener7]

21. What the hell?? What does this even mean?

[11 Bravo]

31. Cosby was accused of doping his victim's drinks.

The poster is wondering if Phylicia feels like rolling the dice.

[Scrivener7]

32. No, it was all about Jews and OJ and Michael Jackson being cancelled or something.

No idea.

[11 Bravo]

33. Clearly I missed something.

I thought the post simply suggested that Rashad have drinks with Cosby.

on edit: I must have overlooked the post to which you were responding. Mea culpa.

[Scrivener7]

34. That's the post above it.

I do that all the time.

[11 Bravo]

36. Yup, see my edit to post #33.

(And now the other post is gone, and I'll NEVER know what was going on!)

[ShazzieB]

43. Oh, the one that was removed! Now I get it. 😁

[Wingus Dingus]

24. Financial interests take precedence over everything, for some people.

[Carlitos Brigante]

26. Well that was super gross......nt

[SunSeeker]

27. She'd be getting flamed right now, but she turned off comments. nt

[NurseJackie]

35. The "Cosby Show" will never go back into syndication/reruns again...

... he's still toxic.

[Johonny]

45. It will probably be like Michael Jackson

Once he dies, his estate will be able to begin to sell his work again. Michael's been very valuable dead. I bet Cosby will be the same way.

[NurseJackie]

46. That sounds logical.

[Crunchy Frog]

38. It looks like she's not allowing comments.

Maybe now they'll give him a new sitcom where he can play "Wholesome Grandad".

[ShazzieB]

44. I don't think so.

Nobody wants that kind of bad press.

I think he's washed up.

[Initech]

40. Talk about a terrible example of "Read the fucking room!!!".
