As I expected, a lot of ignorance and misogyny going in here.

ITT, much of the same victim blaming and rationalizing you see from the RIght wing whenever something terrible happens to a person of color.

Why is it suspicious they did not report it then?
Do I need to repeat that most sexual assaults and rapes go unreported? Maybe the fact that these women seem more comfortable to speak out about it because the ball got rolling that they see others were raped by him too?

It's like these dudes don't understand what rape is. If Bill Cosby raped some of you dudes would you be jumping at the chance to announce it and go to the police?
Lets not forget the whole process of going to the police, getting a rape kit done, a possible trial, etc. for many victims feels like they're getting victimized again. Then there's also the fact that when a victim musters up the courage to come forward to the public with something like this it gives other victims that extra motivation to come forward as well.

I'm dying at a man who sexually assaulted women shows being cancelled being ridiculous
Shame on them, these networks should be running marathons for my guy Bill
Im saying, they've been running his reruns for years.
Nothing new has changed.
No new allegations, no new accusers.
Nobody has given a **** for years but cuz we are now in a society full of fake out cries and with people with an internet voice who act like they wrote the book of morals, its perfect time to hang this man.
Im not saying he's innocent or not, i also dont think anyone else can but the justice system.
Funny how some of yall are ready to "hang" and "kiill" these "animals" in some cases, then in otheres "you need to hear the other side before making a judgement "
So your issue is more people just finding out about it being outraged? what's really your issue? that's a stupid point to fight on. It really is.
Word, not that you're incorrect, but why choose this particular post to go there? doesn't seem the right place or time. This is exactly the same thing ya'll would get upset with Anton for in a thread about black people. The context is really no different.

i've seen quite a bit of victim blaming going on with this bill cosby stuff.
did we see the same victim blaming when all the jerry sandusky stuff came to the surface a few years back despite some of the victims not speaking up until years after the fact?

they're protected
it's open season for a white woman to accuse Bill......whether he did it or not these are accusations.
he hasn't been charged with **** and there isn't any proof
I don't care for Bill tbh but he had this coming....media loved him when he was tap dancing and condemning lower class blacks. Funny how time change....there's no such thing as being the right black for these racist *************

If I'm not mistaken... most if not all those kids were young children... Let's not even get into the cover up Penn State did to hide the facts... Please don't compare grown women to children or these different situations.
NBC knew about all this before they agreed to do a new show... TV Land knew how Cosby got down the whole time they were airing re-runs...
IMO I still don't understand why the fake outrage all of a sudden over decades old allegations that have been settled...

Oh you understand the outrage 
But I can't help but think his failed Twitter social thing made it worst. It was a complete fail and he was clowned like hell. If he laid low after the Hannibal comedy **** I bet he wouldn't be where he is today. Too much fuel kept getting thrown on the fire and the media saw ratings

You sure all of the allegations have been settled? As in they were no longer an issue?

agreed.
i have to come clean that i don't understand fully the complexity of a rape or sexual assault as it pertains to going to the police sooner rather than later. not that i have been specifically called out, but i feel i need to clear the air, as i don't want to sound like I am victim blaming. there is never an excuse for rape, and we as a society need to do better in our handling of victims.
i expressed disbelief, shock, disappointment and yet some skepticism at these allegations simply based off some of the accounts i've found published online . idk if my skepticism is misguided, but i don't want it to be interpreted as victim blaming; there isn't any excuse for such acts, and no celebrity is nor should be above the law. all we are going off of is what the media says, and i can't even find a hard number of accusers...i've heard/read anywhere from 14 to 19 (but i'd go with 15). and unless there is some newformal investigation, which would prolly take time given the number of women, we really won't know more than what these women allege and what the media reports, correctly or incorrectly.
women are still treated as second class citizens so it doesn't surprise me that so many women are victims of assault and can often be ignored. however i don't think that is 100% the case and that many attackers do get caught and prosecuted. so the problem maybe widespread, but on the other hand it is common to see attackers get caught. so based of that i think it does more harm than good in the long run to wait rather than come forward. part of the reason some of these cases or allegations were dismissed was either because a woman acknowledged assault from cosby, and then would travel to meet him again at much later times, only for the same attack to happen again apparently...or they took cash from him as restitution over the course of years. it has also been reported that 2 other accusers began consensual relationships with him. all this info really paints an alarmingly distorted picture to say the least.
i don't want to be quick to call cosby a rapist/sexual deviant, not only because of the skeptcism with some of the stories, but also because i know there are people doing time for a crime they didn't commit simply because the tons of rape kits that are in storage and backlogged have not been processed. and then and now you may here of someone getting out because DNA test exonerated them. all the more reason to present physical evidence of an attack if at all possible. a rape claim is a double edged sword and can be bad for both parties, so i'd really like to rest my opinion on more than just he said, she said.
legally i don't know if anything can come from these added allegations, im not a lawyer, that is for NT's Legal Department to chime in on.
as far as don lemon is concerned...well CNN is trash nowadays anyways so i can careless about w.e happens at that network. anderson cooper is the only dude on there i can appreciate reporting wise, but i personally feel he'd do better elsewhere. that CNN $$ tho...
and as far as sandusky is concerned, i think that is slightly different, as the university knew about it for a min, and swept that under the rug, later victim revelations aside. i think there was even a witness to the crime. and there's that suspicious disappearance of DA Ray Gricar whose body has yet to be found...but a valid comparison nonetheless.

A woman went to the police and said Cosby sexually assaulted her and the DA denied to prosecute, that's not similar to sweeping something under the rug?

dude im not gonna debate this one little thing with u. go online and read it over. they denied to prosecute after an investigation yielded no evidence of foul play. and if we are talking about the same person, i think cosby actively cooperated with the DA office and investigators. again, this is just from what is reported. u can't just prosecute just because someone said something happened, and then start to go look for evidence of said crime after the fact. i know our justice system is screwed up but i mean cmon..
so no i don't believe its the same thing.

Boy, you sound dumb as ****. Do you realize how horribly underreported a crime rape is? It's up there with child molestation. Many women (and by many I mean millions) take this secret to their grave. Over a dozen unrelated individuals of different ages over a span of decades and we're still skeptical. America never ceases to hit rock bottom on humanity.

I can say at least 50% of women I've gotten to know on a personal level.
Thing is, none of them really had a reason to lie or make it up. One girl told me her half-brother raped her :x
Rape and sexual assualt is highly under reported. Why dudes think all these women have just magically decided to lie on Bill is baffling to me.
