glad that this is available since i was never going to get a showtime subscription. still so weird to me that i found out about this through hannibal burress. obv we can't speak for the internet but is that how ONTDers found out about this too, or was this like a known thing that i just missed out on bc i never followed bill cosby

Are you referring specifically to the documentary or to the abuse that Cosby committed?

I remember seeing stories about the accusations in the early 2000s on the tabloids at the grocery stores. I sometimes would grab them coming into the stores and read them while following my mom around.

the abuse, in the early 2000s the only tabloid i read was weekly world news (which was all fake news and weird photoshopped images lol). so i was very up to date on bat boy but never knew about this at all until 2014

He def had allegations in the past prior to Hannibal’s skit but because of his popularity/legacy he was able to have it buried.

I remember reading about him being sued for sexual assault or sexual harassment on his Wikipedia page before the Hannibal Buress clip, but I don’t think that case was well known at all prior.
