“Geoffrey Owens still acts occasionally, works at Trader Joe’s, and ministers to others in need, setting a good example for people everywhere. What a great guy.” That’s what @FoxNews should have said. https://t.co/Q14ZkpotYQ

Media like Fox News and Daily Mail reported the news that former Cosby Show actor Geoffrey Owens now works at NJ Trader Joe's.
People on twitter are defending him after his story and picture was shared without his consent.
They are calling out media for trying to shame and embarassing him while he is earning an honest leaving at NJ Trader Joe's.
The dignity found in a hard days work vs the hypocrisy of trying to throw shade on someone who has kept their shoulder on the wheel. I don’t know his story or his journey but I hope Blessings rain down on Geoffrey Owens https://t.co/CHovOzvxSl

This is so gross. At its simplest, this is a man working a job. The idea that it’s somehow sad or embarrassing says more about the onlooker than Geoffrey Owens. Acting as a business is brutal, and the vast majority of actors have other jobs. Get your damn groceries and shut up. https://t.co/aaeC5A8r03

The Daily Mail story about Geoffrey Owens from the Cosby Show really pisses me off... Life is tough, sometimes it goes sideways on you and your luck turns all bad... So he's working in a shop, so what?! I've been a lawyer and then worked minimum wage in retail cos of the Crash.
