“Forget These Women”: Phylicia Rashad Defends Bill Cosby Against Sex Abuse Claims
"What you're seeing is the destruction of a legacy," Phylicia Rashad told Showbiz 411.
By FRANCESCA BACARDI ••
Bill Cosby's on-screen wife in "The Cosby Show" hadn't said anything regarding the allegations of sexual assault against him — until now.
At a luncheon for the movie "Selma," Phylicia Rashad finally opened up about the claims that 15 women have made against her former co-star. Rashad defended him and his career, which she said is getting destroyed by the scandal.
“1st Look’s” Sara Gore talks Golden Globes red carpet fashion with Yahoo style editor-in-chief Joe Zee at the Rent the Runway Showroom.
She did, however, defend Bill's real-life wife, Camille Cosby, who has stuck by his side throughout the entire ordeal. She described her as a "tough woman, a smart woman."
Camille has defended her husband, saying that the man described in the scandal isn't the same one she married.
