You have your facts wrong.
Over thirty years ago people were saying things.
Over thirty years ago, Bill Cosby was settling civil actions and settling claims before civil actions were filed. Cosby was paying for women's living expenses.
The reason attention has been currently focused on this is because comedian Hannibal Buress told a Cosby "rape" joke in Philly on the night of October 16. This was reported on the internet, a video was uploaded to YouTube, Howard Stern invited Buress to appear on his show . . . and Cosby's world exploded.
AFTER Buress opened up all of the claims from 1985 - not claims that were kept secret for 45 years - did other women start to come forward.
Please remember that some of the "Jane Does" named in the 1985 litigation as potential witnesses have still never come forward - although Cosby's paid their living expenses.
Okay. I’m really not setting an opinion either way. I am hoping it’s wrong but i maintain an open mind about it.
