This
interview report is in relation to the Bill Cosby rumored rape allegations that
have been brought up by celebrity Raven Symone as well as other individuals.
Phylicia Rashad, his co-host on the show, the Bill Cosby Show, decided to end
her silence regarding the issue and allegations and participated in an
interview with ABC News regarding the matter. Her message was clear, she was
defending Bill Cosby, but most importantly, she was defending his legacy. She
stated, “This show represented America to the outside world. This was the
American family. And now you’re seeing it being destroyed. Why?”
Currently, these are still
“allegations” because trials have not been heard and verdicts have not yet been
decided but this entire scandal exemplifies how a dominant male figure may have
quite possibly shunned multiple women from coming out regarding severe sexual
assault accusations. It is possible that these women felt their voices would
not be heard because Bill Cosby is a known celebrity and that would be the
reason they never made the allegations sooner. Many times women who are rape
victims are blamed for the incident and authorities insinuate that instead of
being victims of rape, that they were “looking for it” when that is not the
case at all.
It will be interesting to see
if there is proof, if any, regarding these allegations that would indeed
incriminate Bill Cosby of rape and sexual assault.
