Bill Cosby Pulls The Race Card After Beverly Johnson Comes Forward Stating He Drugged Her With The Intent Of Rape


Camille Cosby and Bill Cosby

Actor and comedian Bill Cosby, star of the 1980s hit sitcom “The Cosby Show” is under fire as 25 women have come forward accusing him of drugging and raping them. Cosby, who had settled a legal case brought against him by several of his accusers years ago, has dodged questions from the press about his conduct, while his attorney tried to state the allegations are fabrications. 

A few days ago, famous supermodel and businesswoman, Beverly Johnson, came forward in Vanity Fair magazine, stating Cosby drugged her with the intent of rape, but she fought back. In a well written article in her own words, Johnson, lifts the veil on the Hollywood icon, confirming people’s worst fears and suspicions regarding him. 


Beverly Johnson

In the 1980s, Cosby reached out to the ground breaking model, who was the first African American woman to grace the cover of Vogue magazine. Cosby asked Johnson to appear on “The Cosby Show” which had many guest stars playing themselves or others. It was the top show of its time and the most special sitcom to many, so Johnson, just like any person in the entertainment industry at the time would, gladly accepted his offer. 

Cosby encouraged Johnson to bring her young daughter by his home in New York for brunch. They discussed her appearance on the show and he asked her to come back for another visit reading her acting role. During the second visit Cosby insisted Johnson try a cappuccino from his high end machine, an appliance that was uncommon in the average home at the time. Johnson stated by the second sip she knew she had been drugged by Cosby. She began screaming at him and calling him “motherf*****.” This enraged Cosby who dragged her down the stairs with such force she stated she thought her neck would break. He pushed her into a cab outside his home and she woke up the next morning in her bed.

Cosby’s wife, Camille has leapt to his defense stating, “He is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man. A different man has been portrayed in the media over the last two months. It is the portrait of a man I do not know. The story was heart-breaking, but ultimately appears to be proved to be untrue. Many in the media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband -- until that story unwound. None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked -- who is the victim?” 

Cosby for his part, is playing the race card in this matter, which is highly inappropriate under the circumstances, as he is in the wrong. Cosby recently stated to the New York Post, “'Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind.” 


Camille Cosby

Why are you bringing this burden on the black media. What does race have to do with this. Women of different races, both black and white, famous and non-famous, whom you’ve had interactions with, are credibly accusing you of drugging and raping them. It's time to admit the truth to the public and stop hurting people.

I do believe some women lie about being raped. However, I do not believe Cosby is innocent in this matter. Furthermore, he had settled in court with many of his accusers years ago, in an effort to avoid prison, which is where he belongs. No one has the right to drug and or rape anyone. It is a cruel crime that is so predatory and sick in nature, it deserves to be exposed and dealt with it criminal court.

Stars With Image Problems That Cost Them Millions Of Dollars


As a general rule, stars having an image of partying too much limits sponsorship opportunities, which means less revenue for you and your manager. Endorsers don’t want to log on and see entertainers and athletes being promiscuous, cursing and excessively partying and drinking. They will skip right over you for endorsement deals, as not fitting with their brand and it will cost you money.

Endorsers and sponsors don’t want stars representing their brands, who engage in said conduct. It would damage their brand. As such, it results in corporations foregoing sponsorship deals with such athletes, costing you hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of dollars in endorsement deals as an athlete. 


And over what? Partying and being promiscuous with women whose names you will not even remember. Years down the road when you have trouble paying your bills, you will regret those choices. Put things in perspective and realize having a career in entertainment and sports is limited and you have to make the most of it while it lasts. Don’t destroy your earnings capabilities by making poor choices.

Often stars in their teens and twenties think they're indestructible and know it all. The sad fact of the matter is they have a lot to learn about life. Rule number one, it is better to learn from other people's mistakes than your own, especially when your own cause you to crash and burn.

Select Members Of The Press Want Video Of Justin Bieber’s Penis Released And A Miami Judge Says…

No!


The press took the Miami Police to court demanding the release of full length jail videos of 20-year-old pop superstar Justin Bieber, after he was arrested for DUI, reckless driving and drag racing. Some of the videos in question of the singer’s brief incarceration involve Bieber urinating and in various states of undress. The press stated it is of public importance and they have a right to know. However, the Judiciary Report disagrees and sides with the judge in the case, who refused to permit the full release of all the video footage. 

Bieber, just like anyone else in this world, has what is known as a “right to privacy.” In many situations, the law stipulates a right to privacy is to be expected. Translation, Bieber’s penis is no one’s business but his own. It is voyeuristic to want to see someone in states of undress and or naked without their consent. In closing, leave Bieber’s wee wee alone (LOL)!

The Benefits And Drawbacks Of High Profile Relationships


Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber

Some people love high profile relationships. They are reported on by the press and blogosphere, creating publicity that is sometimes of a good nature. However, some of the publicity that comes with a high profile relationship is negative. The least little problem is blown out of proportion. People make up lies about things that allegedly happened behind closed doors. Then there are the women who decide they want to make trouble and publicly go after the famous male in the couple, in conduct that is disgraceful.

High profile relationships look stressful. I would not want the attention, but sometimes women fall in love with someone who is famous and decide it is worth the risks. As a writer/blogger, I know what can happen when someone decides to write items for site views, omitting the truth. I don’t do that, as I believe in writing the truth, but I’ve seen others flat-out lie for site views.

If I was seen kissing a famous man and asked about it, I would be like, “I was giving him CPR! Mind your business!” (I’m just kidding). Seriously, people should be careful what elements of their lives they make known to the press and on social networking. You may see it as being free and open, but not everyone has good intentions seeing it as a challenge to wreak havoc in your life.
