Imagine saying that when you're a Dean at a University.

Not even just thinking it, saying it loudly and unashamedly.

Her follow up comment is so hollow when you know she only believes it to an extent. Like I’ll believe and support survivors so long as it isn’t against someone she knows.

I haven’t been super close to this case but didn’t Cosby literally admit to drugging and SA’ing women back in the day?? Why do any people think he’s innocent??

[icetypejim]

Yes, he admitted to giving women drugs with the intent to have sex with them in a deposition from a previous civil case and that was part of why he lost.

Today has been too much on so many levels of fuckery for different victims. I wish them love and healing and that they're surrounded by amazing, loving people and fantastic health professionals unlike I was when I was younger.

Bill Cosby and Phylicia can choke.

I’d say she should have sat there and ate her food, but nope. Push the plate aside and talk so we know who you really are. Trash.
