Decades of breathtaking comedy have earned Bill Cosby envy the world over. However, the roller coaster seems to have halted with constant news about Cosby abuse allegations. The list of accusers keeps growing and including more cities. His father figure, especially based on his campaign to keep black American boys in school, has received thorough beating.
Andrea Constand came to the limelight in 2005 when she alleged molestation by the comic. She once directed operations for the girls basketball team at Temple University. In the accusations, she was molested after drugging in 2004 in Pennsylvania. She claims that her statement was rejected by the police. This allegation opened the floor for others to emerge.
Tamara Green joins a list of twelve other accusers with her claim that the comic drugged her groped her while she was unconscious. A similar pattern of drugging can be seen in the twelve women who have come forward. The actor has maintained his innocence amidst all the claims.
According to Philadelphia Daily News, one of the anonymous women in the papers filed by Andrea Constand is Beth Ferrier. In her words, the comic drugged and sexually assaulted her in the 1980s inside a car in Denver. The story is said to have surfaced in 2005 but was killed by the tabloid after lawyers pressured them. Andrea is said to have settled her lawsuit out of court in November 2006.
Barbara Bowman met the comic in 1980 as an upcoming actress. He was her mentor for several years. In a story published in 2006, she was molested several times in Reno and New York City. She joins the list of anonymous accusers.
The reprinting of the stories of Barbara and Tamara in 2014 trained focus on the comic. Gawker and Newsweek run the stories on several occasions. At the time, different media outlets were planning to feature the comedian or rerun his shows. Netflix has lined a stand-up comedy appearance on November 28th while NBC was preparing a show on an extended family where he would be the patriarch.
Mark Whitaker wrote a biography entitled Cosby, Life and Times. As a renowned journalist with CNN and Newsweek, it was expected that he would include the allegations, but he did not. He claimed that none of them had been verified in court or by an independent witness. This meant that they did not meet the required threshold.
The rapist mention in a comedy show by Hannibal Buress in Philadelphia made the clip to go viral online. The renewed attention saw Daily Mail publish the original allegations made by Barbara Bowman where she refers to him as a monster. Buress told reporters that he has mentioned the case on several shows but these instances did not attract any attention.
The return of the comedian to action has been hampered by these allegations. Several appearances on shows have been cancelled including airing of programs on TV Land, Netflix and NBC. His appearances on the Late Night Show with David Letterman and Queen Latifah Show were also canceled. The old comic has received support from Phylicia Rashad, a one time member of his team and Whoopi Goldberg, a renowned actor, among others.
