Apparently, she feels more Black than female.

Would love to lock her in a room with the 60 women who were emotionally, mentally, and sexually destroyed by this convicted rapist.

reply

I love how you're so sure he's guilty. Believing a media that has been lying nonstop for...it seems like FOREVER.

reply

I don't know if he's guilty or not but in the eyes of the law, he's not a convicted rapist anymore.

reply

Yep. It's as if the trial never happened. I believe these charges won't even show up on his criminal record anymore once the conviction was vacated.

reply

Except he's no "rapist". Never admitted to it. His "conviction" was faulty; hence, overturned.

reply

I don't know how you can say when he admitted to drugged and having sex with women either without their wits about them, or passed out and having sex with them. Does he really have to spell out rape just for you?

reply

Show me one instance where he admitted to rape.

reply

Most of those women were paid by Gloria Allred to make baseless claims against Cosby. It is a tactic. Since they didn't have a single believable accusation, they flooded the zone with a bunch of baseless ones, hoping the sheer number would sway public opinion, and apparently with you, it has.

reply

> Most of those women were paid by Gloria Allred to make baseless claims against Cosby.

I supposed you have the receipts for that, eh?

reply

Yeah well that's not going to happen so keep dreaming. I'm glad Phylicia couldn't careless about people like you as she stands by her strong words.

reply

Good for her.

reply

Maybe neither being black or female is relevant here.
She knew him differently than others do...she knew him as a friend.
She might be wrong..She might be right. But it's pretty brave of her to go against the grain and stay true to herself .
Most people in her position would keep quiet and not take the risk.

reply

In this day and age of social media biting you in your career in the ass, she should have known better. Fine to express it in private, but publicly? Classic brain-fart.

I am not saying she was wrong in her opinion, nor am I saying she was right. I am saying she was stupid.

reply

Or brave.

reply

She's far from stupid. Why should she have to remain quiet out of fear or whatever else? Nah. We need more people like her standing up for what they believe is right. Don't bother replying cause I aint reading it.

reply

LMAO...YOU SUCK.

reply

What career? She probably hasn't needed money since the 90s.

reply

I mean is there proof he did anything? Every man gets accused out of nowhere on Twitter.

Kobe was accused of rape and found innocent. There was also the duke lacrosse, again the woman lied and years later she commited a murder.
