Jill Scott Says ‘It Hurts’ that She Defended Bill Cosby | Adds She is ‘Completely Disgusted’
A few months ago when the Bill Cosby rape allegations surfaced, singer and actress Jill Scott was one of the people who defended the legendry comedian.
But now in light of the latest development (Documents surfaced from Bill Cosby’s 2005 rape case where he admits drugging a woman for sex) Jill Scott has apologized for defending him.
She said on Twitter:
About Bill Cosby. Sadly his own testimony offers PROOF of terrible deeds, which is ALL I have ever required to believe the accusations.

1) We live in America. Many African American men are detained &/or imprisoned for crimes without evidence. I will never jump on bandwagons

2) based on social media or hearsay. Proof will always matter more than public opinion. The sworn testimony is proof. Completely disgusted.
