Cosby jokingly warns woman about drinking around him during show

Source: Faux News-AP

LONDON, Ontario – Bill Cosby jokingly warned a woman in the audience during a show in Canada Thursday night to be careful drinking around him.

Cosby made the remark at his second performance in a row after a string of cancellations that followed sexual assault allegations from more than 15 women. Some of the women accused Cosby of drugging them by slipping something in their drinks before he assaulted them

A woman who got up from one of the front rows and walked past the stage was asked by Cosby where she was going. When she answered that she was going to the lobby to grab a drink Cosby responded: "You have to be careful about drinking around me." The remark was met with loud applause.

A few minutes later a heckler yelled at Cosby that he was a rapist.

He deserves all the heckling he gets.

20+ women coming forward is too big to say "I dont talk about that."

Sure, he has a legal right to stay quiet, but he has no moral right to an adoring audience or pass from public opinion.

is nauseating. You earn scorn by attacking rape victims in order to defend their rapist.

They could have asked a lawyer what to do, perhaps they did.

This guy's behavior in the face of all these accusations has done NOTHING but demonstrate what an enormous creep he is. And it sounds like his audience is pretty loathsome, as well. You'd have to be sick to think you can get laughs from a pretentious, perverted geezer like him.

It is no joke, but he must think it is. A way of demeaning those who have come forward. Not one, but more than 20 have come forward. He defines himself with this attitude.
