Bill Cosby Speaks out about Rape Allegations; Tells ‘Black Media’ to Remain Neutral

For weeks the media has been buzzing with several rape allegations made against Bill Cosby, an American dad figure, actor and comedian.

Having declined several opportunities to address the issue, Bill Cosby has finally granted an interview where he around the rape allegations without confirming or denying the 21 allegations that his lawyers have repeatedly called false.

According to Page Six, a Black reporter from the NY Post called the Cosby’s Massachusetts home but instead of denying those accusations, Bill Cosby actually took Black media to task, revealing what he expects of them. He stated “Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind.”

When he was asked how his wife has been through this ordeal he answered “Love and the strength of womanhood. Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And, you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love.”

These allegations span at least four decades, beginning in the 1960s.
