    Wow! As far as the court of public opinion stands, this one could be the nail in the coffin

    Not necessarily, he kind of short-circuited her career because he felt her side projects were too adult-themed; that resentment at an unfairly soiled reputation might be fueling some sense of karmic justice rather than any corroborating judgement of the allegations.

    If true...does this mean he couldn't get girls or that he got off on raping?

    Michelle Hurd: ‘Law And Order’ Actress Says Bill Cosby Touched Her, Gossip Circles Have Known For Years

    Another actress, Michelle Hurd, has come forward to confirm knowledge that she has of the Bill Cosby sexual allegations. According to the Daily Mail, the Law And Order actress also had an encounter with Cosby. Hurd says she couldn’t take it anymore after hearing the stories and the insensitive comments on websites and forums, so she felt that she needed to tell her side of the story.

    She shared the story on her Facebook page.

    “I did stand-in work on The Cosby show back in the day and YES, Bill Cosby was VERY inappropriate with me. It started innocently, lunch in his dressing room, daily, then onto weird acting exercises were he would move his hands up and down my body, (can’t believe I fell for that) I was instructed to NEVER tell anyone what we did together, (he said other actors would become jealous) and then fortunately, I dodged the ultimate bullet with him when he asked me to come to his house, take a shower so we could blow dry my hair and see what it looked like straightened. At that point my own red flags went off and I told him, “No, I’ll just come to work tomorrow with my hair straightened”. I then started to take notice and found another actress, a stand-in as well, and we started talking… A LOT… turns out he was doing the same thing to her, almost by the numbers, BUT, she did go to his house and because I will not name her, and it is her story to tell, all I’ll say is she awoke, after being drugged, vomited, and then Cosby told her there’s a cab waiting for you outside.”

    Michelle Hurd continues that her story is true, and that she would have no reason to invent it, according to Showbiz411. The actress, known for her roles in CSI: Miami and Gossip Girl, follows a long line of women who have come forward with allegations that Cosby sexually assaulted, raped, and drugged them. Bill Cosby’s attorney has stated the allegations are untrue.

    Most of the sexual molestation allegations are from decades ago, but Cosby’s alleged inappropriate conduct toward women is something that has been known in Hollywood circles since the beginning. Many of the alleged victims repeated these stories to other women. But no one dared to make the information public, or it would mean the death of their careers. The stories would creep into celebrity gossip forums every now and then.

    When the rumors would make their way into a larger paper such as a tabloid magazine, it is alleged that Cosby and his team quickly had the item pulled. Wendy Williams was one of the first to discuss Cosby’s ability to control what was printed and what was said about him. She told the story of how Bill Cosby almost had her fired when she worked at popular radio station in New York City.

    That same attempt to control was also seen in the latest video showing Cosby telling the producers that he was not going to discuss the rumors. He also told producers to scrap the footage of them asking him about the allegations.

    With the latest scandal, many The Cosby Show fans, want to know what really happened all those years ago when Lisa Bonet left the show. Anyone who was a fan of the show, remembers well when the actress abruptly left, and how she was vilified around the time she made the movie Angel Heart. After returning to The Cosby Show briefly, it was announced that she had been fired from the show. She went quietly, and has not participated in any reunion shows with the Cosby cast, leading many to wonder if she also had an “uncomfortable experience” with Cosby. The Inquisitr reported on yesterday that a Hollywood crisis experts say Bill Cosby’s career is over.

    Christ almighty you're delusional... the man is a serial rapist plain and simple. there is not an iota of doubt outside delusional fanboys and the black community that willfully lives in denial.

    Someone in the wrong forum for sure.

    Anyway, for me, the latest actress's story is the final nail in the coffin, just in terms of logic. She has zero to gain from this; if anything, she has something to lose to even be associated with the sordid mess. She's got a successful career going, and she's just standing up for these other women with her own detailed and consistent story.

    Maybe there are like 16 different crazy women acting in concert to destroy Cosby... or maybe Occam's razor cuts way too cleanly here.

    Yuck, yuck, yuck.

    But hooray if even powerful people can be given rough music for such ****, even if not incarcerated. To think he had almost launched a new cutesy show -- it kind of makes you want to vomit.

    Given your signature, it probably makes me a genius.


    And B Bob, Cosby is still getting standing ovations at his shows. We as a country do not care. Too many will worship anyone with fame and success. The smug guy has the nerve to look these people in the face and laugh it off.

    Perverted guy who happens to be rich, successful and black. Lots of shields there for him to do what he wants. I wonder if he wasn't rich or succesful would the drugging and raping happen or will he be just the creepy guy at the bar.

    And you're a bigoted piece of human ****ing garbage. I provided factual context in commenting on a vague individual tweet, no need to inject race into it, *******.

    I can point you at the outrage of fans who don't agree with Clyde Drexler taking Calvin Murphy's spot. But, maybe that's your point.

    Can you please tell me who in "the black community" has come to Cosby's aid? Hell, the comedian that brought this story back into the spotlight is black, a number of those accusing him of rape are black. Cosby has actually upset some black people with political positions that are not always popular in the black community.

    It looks like Cosby is probably a serial rapist (probably even tried to put his JELLO pudding pop inside Lisa Bonet) but your attack on another poster and completely jumping the shark made you look like a racist, ignorant *******.

    FWIW the poster you went after has voiced opinions contrary to a number of other black posters or commonly held beliefs... He is about the last guy you want to stereotype... Although you DID turn yourself into a stereotype.
