You got me Cosby! *shakes fist*

He made me a redeye, and I, being nervous and dealing at the time with an alcohol problem (I've been in recovery since 1988), drank it. In the car I had something else to drink, but was already beginning to feel a bit stoned ... But soon after, I remember feeling very, very stoned and asking his chauffeur to take me back to the car. I was having trouble standing up. The next thing I remember was waking up in his bed back at the Sherry, naked. I remember thinking ‘You old poo poo, I guess you got me this time, but it's the last time you'll ever see me.'

Honestly if it wasn't for the sheer number of allegations, it does look like one. No criminal investigations or charges pressed, some of the victims clearly just wanting money and Cosby giving said money out in settlements, so much time passed that nothing can really be proven or verified, ect. Then there's the point that given the state of race relations when some of the things were said to have occurred, it really wouldn't have been hard to push criminal charges against Cosby (a famous black man raping a white woman is a KKK Grand Wizard's wet dream)

It is possible this is just a publicity stunt and money grab by some people to raise their profiles at Cosby's expense and ride the wave of feminist zeitgeist that's been going on lately. However it's a lot of allegations... a lot of it sounds like it involves date rape... and Cosby's made jokes about date rap in the past... and Cosby's refusal to answer any questions related to it isn't very good.

At best Cosby has been a bit of an rear end in a top hat in relationships and has tried to cover up that the real him isn't as clean cut as his television persona, so he went overboard in trying to suppress any negative publicity which would contradict it and now it's biting him in the rear end. At worst he's a serial rapist.

This was after he allegedly drugged and attempted to rape her once but failed right?

I mean don't get me wrong there's a ton of victims and their stories are all pretty consistent so it does seem to me like he is prolly a rapist. On the other hand though I'm really hesitant to convict a person in public opinion over something they haven't been actually legally convicted of.

In a world where there is certainly different legal systems for us plebes vs the rich and famous its understandable to ignore the lack of official rulings and still conclude he is an unrepentant rapist based on the evidence but its still kind of something I'm eh about on a principles standpoint.

quote:

“One day he asked me to stay after the shooting and work on some material with him. I was even more flattered and thought this would help move my writing career along. In his bungalow he made me a redeye, and I began to tell him about the earthquake Los Angeles had just had and the sound it made. He liked my ideas for an earthquake bit.

“The next thing I remember was coming to on his couch while being undressed. Through the haze I thought I was being clever when I told him I had an infection and he would catch it and his wife would know he had sex with someone. But he just found another orifice to use. I was sickened by what was happening to me and shocked that this man I had idolized was now raping me. Of course I told no one.

“Back home with my parents, my mother kept bringing his name up as a source of pride. Cosby was very hot then with his first sitcom, The Bill Cosby Show, and she was proud that her daughter had written with him. So the day that he called, she answered the phone and he told her he was inviting me to The Westbury Music Theater. I was repulsed by the thought of seeing him again, but I saw no way out. I couldn’t tell my mother what he had done. Or what I had let happen, feeling the guilt that rape victims often feel.

“He sent a limo to pick me up and I was dropped off at the Sherry Netherland Hotel and went up to his suite. I remember noticing that his leather shaving kit was filled with bottles of pills, and thinking that this seemed odd. He was, of course, very friendly and I, of course, was very uncomfortable. He made me a redeye, and I, being nervous and dealing at the time with an alcohol problem (I’ve been in recovery since 1988), drank it. In the car I had something else to drink, but was already beginning to feel a bit stoned.

this isn't true. cosby was "one of the good ones." he went on tv and told everyone that black people are at fault for their problems, not white people. that's part of the reason he was so successful. he was a black man acceptable to white audiences. i sincerely doubt anyone would have taken rape accusations seriously, given that they generally weren't taken seriously in 99% of cases back then and often still aren't. another thing is that these women were mainly in the entertainment industry. if they went public it would essentially end their career and cosby probably wouldn't have been affected anyway.

ArbitraryC posted:

Isn't this kind of circular logic though? If more claims makes existing claims more accurate or believable then doesn't that in itself provide motive for people to just modify the story of initial allegations a bit, say it happened to them, and collect a settlement check? Not at all saying I think that's what happened I just don't really like that line of reasoning. If you can get 1 person to lie about something its not really hard to get 10 or 20 others to lie too, America is a big place and Cosby has been around the entire country.

Just accepting your skeptical reasoning, why would Janice Dickinson get on the allegation train when she is already rich and famous? She does not really have anything significant to gain and quite a lot to lose if her story was somehow proven false.

Regardless, as far as I know most of the women who have come forward did so to serve as witnesses and were not seeking damages

if you don't think bill cosby is a serial rapist you're probably a mra

Shadoer posted:

Or you have an appreciation of the legal system, ideas like innocent until proven guilty, not a fan of trial by the mob.

Honestly I'm leaning in my own opinion that he's guilty, however I think him losing all of these shows and effectively being punished by the public is pretty bullshit. He should be investigated, put on trial, and serve jail time if it's found he's guilty. Not drawn into the public square and given a lynching.

it's essentially impossible to investigate decades old rape cases. he will never go to jail
