Stoned a lot during the Cosby show?


Does anyone else think she seems pretty toasted in a lot of her scenes from the Cosby show?

reply

that's funny. I tend to agree, she was either on drugs or a poor
actress on cosby.

reply

It might just be her face...but I really doubt it.

reply

I have heard that she had a major drug problem which was pretty much hidden from the public eye, which led to her daughter being raised by Lenny. I wouldn't doubt it.

reply

I think she was the best kid on the cosby show the other four were boring expected maybe for theo and rudy everyone in a while

reply

At first, she didn't seem that way at all. She looked beautiful and was fun to watch on the show. But later, she did start looking stoned. Whether she was or not, no one but Lisa Bonet knows.
But I remember thinking that she did look that way a lot in later episodes.

What's sad is that she got her own show, and her emotional demons still plagued her. She was good on "A Different World" also, and while the show was good without her, she was missed.

The words “good” and the title “A Different World” do not belong together unless the word “not” is part of the sentence.

I heard she was a vacuum. Raging coke habit before she was 18.

reply

Yeah she was annoying in the later years of the Cosby Show.

reply

I read she was deeply hurt by the way Cosby and the other cast members treated her in the later years of the show. I Hope she did not have substance issues. I never read where she was raised by her dad. Lenny is a little out there himself. Then again, he might have mellowed with age.

reply

How was she treated?

reply

According to reports,Cosby resented her for getting pregnant and married while on "A Different World". Rumor has it Felicia resented her too.

reply

Makes sense given what we know of Cosby now. He seemed creepy then caring about Bonet's life.

reply

He felt she was jeopardizing her future marrying so young, and leaving the show. I think he meant well, but his actions were misguided.

reply

Why would he care? He gets off controlling women. I can see why she hated him back then. She knew back then of Cosby's "demons".
