Holy H… Bill Cosby

Why wasn't this brought up during the trial???

#ByePhylicia is trending on Twitter

It is stunning to me that anyone in his circle is playing this as vindication. He did what he did and everyone knows it. 

It was brought up during the trial.

If it hadn’t been brought up during the trial, it would not have been preserved for appeal.


The trial judge even questioned the former prosecutor who made the promises.

You don’t get to just bring up random, new issues in an appeal. Everything that is argued about in the appeal was argued about during the trial.

Bruce Castor - picked by former as his impeachment atty....

Promised Bill no prosecution. "Only the best!!!"



"On Feb. 17, 2005, I was sitting at my desk at the Philadelphia Daily News wrapping up my work for the day when I got a fax from the office of Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr.

It was no ordinary press blast. Instead, Castor was announcing that he would not be prosecuting Bill Cosby for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand.

The fax was timestamped 5:45 p.m.—I still have it—and it was shocking for a number of reasons.

Nearly a dozen other women had come forward already—the number would swell in the years to come—saying Cosby had done the same or similar things to them, which briefly led Constand’s attorneys to hope Castor was going to actually prosecute the disgraced comedian after all.

Not only that, Castor wrote it himself and faxed it to the press himself—a first the technically-challenged DA later testified about in a court of law. Constand and her attorneys say he never even bothered to let them know of his decision beforehand.

It also came as a shock to his own detectives, who just that morning had come up with a list of follow-up interviews they wanted to do on the case.

But in no way, shape, or form was there any inkling this was anything but a press release. Because, why would it be anything other than what it clearly was?

That would come later, when Castor argued it was also a promise not to prosecute the since-disgraced comedian in exchange for his testimony in a civil case. The bizarro move was quintessential Bruce Castor, and it helped make Bill Cosby a free man on Wednesday."

Way more than Streep....

"But, in truth, for many British and US actors, working with Polanski never lost its cachet, and arguably had even more once he became excluded from the US mainstream. Sigourney Weaver, Harrison Ford, Johnny Depp, Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Kate Winslet and many more have appeared in Polanski movies in the decades since his conviction, and questions about why they were working with a convicted child rapist were seen as tacky, proof of a rigid mind more focused on gossip than art....

I then contact 25 actors who have worked with Polanski since his arrest, including Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, Christoph Waltz, Kate Winslet, Kim Cattrall, Pierce Brosnan and Jodie Foster...

Adrien Brody, who won an Oscar for The Pianist, was “unable to participate due to schedule”. Kingsley, who has worked with Polanski multiple times, would “need to pass”....

I then contact the film-makers who signed the 2009 petition demanding Polanski’s release, including David Lynch, Wes Anderson and Martin Scorsese. Again, some ignore me, a couple will talk off the record, some are too busy to talk at all. Alexander Payne is currently “focused on his new baby”. Tilda Swinton “would like to graciously pass on being interviewed”....

The year after he [Polanski] fled the US he gave an interview to Martin Amis, in which he declared: “Judges want to fuck young girls. Juries want to fuck young girls – everyone wants to fuck young." girls!”

so...14 people liked the comment that Phylicia should be canned from This is Us. I'd love to hear your opinions on my above posts. This is not a challenge I'm really curious to see what you all think.

Do you all REALLY think she should be fired for her Tweet? If so, why not the others? What's different about this one? I mean, I get that the memes are catchy with the whole "Bye Felicia" thing but is that really all we got?

I do agree with this wholeheartedly.  But the thing with these examples are these people now know how bad Polanski and Woody are and they still choose to support him publicly. That's why I pointed out Kate Winslet being an exception as someone who supported them and then recanted her support after the full story came out. It bothers me that she's a rare exception No one is boycotting Meryl or these others that I know of. 

Thanks for your thoughts on this. 

Ugh, I was just on Hoopla earlier today and noticed that they carry the cosby show. I just filled out their contact form to suggest removing it.

I’m watching The Cosby show with my kids.

It is on Amazon Prime and Sling TV.
