Bill Cosby Found Guilty In Assault Case From 1975 | Tea-G-I-F

[@terencehorn6199]

I was molested from the age of 6 till 12 by a uncle, much older male cousin & family friend. I didnt tell my parents till I was 21 and when I did they immediately took me to go file a case against all 3 of them and it was one of the if not the most embarrassing thing I'd ever went through. Money was offered and they were great offers but I told my parents I didnt want the money & it was not about money for me. At that time I couldn't care less if they did or didnt serve time but I said that I wanted to look them in the face & express to them that how I felt, the trauma I dealt with all those years and how it effected me know. It was the most exhilarating and therapeutic feeling. By taking money wouldn't have healed or fixed anything for me. But being able to confront them is what gave me peace in the end and I was finally was able to move on with my life.

Let me get this straight two teen age girls hit on a grown ass man, knowing he is a celebrity. They accept dinner and his hospitality plus allow him to take them to the Playboy mansion. They get there see all the other celebrities enjoy the scenery the food, ambience and all the trappings of the place. Bill Cosby touches/gropes her. She keeps quiet about this incident through the 1980’s and 1990’s when Cosby becomes a MEGA TV star. 14 years into the 2000’s when Cosby is accused of sexual misconduct by a woman who clearly had a consensual relationship with him. (She gets paid off spends the money then on the eve of the statue of limitations running out an overzealous political upstart re-litigates a settled case.) The former teen decides suddenly that she has suffered mentally cause she let a celebrity grope her. She wasn’t distressed enough to tell her parents. She definitely wasn’t distressed enough to not brag about it to her friends. She wasn’t distressed while Bill Cosby was making millions upon millions doing commercials and his TV shows. Guaranteed Bill Cosby wasn’t the only one who groped her at the playboy mansion is she suing any of them or their estates? It happened at the Playboy mansion is she suing Hugh Hefner’s estate for failing to keep her safe from groping? Im sorry but if you can move on with your life with ease. Meaning no history of mental distress due to your teen age escapes. Then she shouldn’t have been allowed to file that case 39 years after the alleged incident. Who waits damn near 40 years to accuse someone of a sexual assault? I would believe her more if she would have gone after Cosby when she was 25 vs being 61 close to retirement age looking for a big payday. This is OJ the remix. OJ won his murder case and all they needed was anything unlawful to jail him no matter how minor. Bill Cosby didn’t have to pay Andrea Constand after he was jailed and to make an example out of him this case was litigated. First, off was she in fear of Cosby? Second, did she tell Cosby no and did she alert the host, Hefner that she didn’t feel safe? Lastly, as a minor why was she accepting liquor? What else was she accepting? Cosby was wrong for touching her but where is her responsibility in all this? She accepted the invitation to the Playboy mansion knowing Bill Cosby was a celebrity. She failed to report the incident to the police when she left there and she didn’t let her parents know. She lived her life happily ever after until she realizes that hey I can probably sue this man and get believed because others are suing him. After she pays her lawyers she won’t have much left if this suit has been dragging on for 8 years. All that just to get enough to pay your lawyers. $500,000 in California after taxes and lawyers fees she still broke.

This tells me that you were fortunate enough to have never been a victim of sexual assault and I’m glad that you never experienced it. Different people handle sexual assault in different ways. I’ve been sexually assaulted and a victim of a person’s sexual misconduct as well and I only went to the authorities on one occasion and it took me almost a year to do so. Bill Cosby becoming big may have triggered these women and the other women coming forth may have given them the courage to do so as well. Children don’t have the same mental capacity as adults so they may have been “ok” with the behavior at the time because they didn’t realize they were being taken advantage of. Funky made a good point by saying “you can’t do people wrong and tell them when to get over it” and I’ll add to that by saying when it comes to sexual assault you can’t tell a person when or how to get over it.

[@kannaiahkannaiah3821]

@@Lyric_Hyp We fully agree, which is why it is the people who have been true victims of true sexual assault to take the position of interrogators/independent historians in these court processes to genuinely understand if these people are genuine victims or just looking for a come up. If the new society that you are building in the US is going to include a "no-limit' approach to timing of WHEN a person can bring a case against someone, then we have many things that we can make cases for; the Cos is NOT the only famous person of his era to engage in sexual deviance. Of course, that doesn't make it right, but if he didn't have money, where would the recompense be in all of this? If it is about "justice", then the courts should be full with sexual abuse victims and their accused predators from 1975 up until today. Because it's about justice right? Not necessarily a payday.

[@gee_emm]

@@flamtap4455 How do you know? I think I stated clearly that I don’t know much about it, I’m just going by stats and history. Cosby has admitted in a deposition to drugging women without their consent. That’s a red flag. And he has over 60 accusers, at least one of which he has settled with. Many of them got nothing but abuse for coming forward, and several of them were women of colour. I hear talk of a black man being taken down, but little sympathy for the black women who were abused. If you want to talk about the disaster of the prison industrial complex, I’m right there with you. But Cosby’s presumption of innocence has been tainted, and with good reason. Why are people so defensive of such a questionable character?

[@Lyric_Hyp]

Everybody keeps asking how a minor ended up at the mansion when that was literally the first thing Al explained 😅. Bill took them there, told them to say they were 19, and with that being said it’s easy to infer that nobody asked for their IDs. What I’m about to say is just an assumption, but I’m assuming they lied to their parents regarding their whereabouts.

[@Lyric_Hyp]

And another thing ‼️ for those of you who don’t know, Hugh Hefner has been dead for a few years now. He isn’t in jail because he’s in his grave.

IDK I just feel like if you have truly been a victim then it's like why would you want money. Because money is not going make the struggle you went through, heartache, embarrassment, mental state go away. So sometimes it feels like people are trying get a come up. But at the same time they hitting them in their pocketbooks can hurt more than jail time.

[@KellieAlston]

This is so sad. I do have questions, though. Where were their parents? Why would they be able to do this? Did the parents think he was helping them get an acting gig? It is all very sick. Ultimately, Bill Cosby's character on The Cosby's was just a character. He did not uphold the moral fiber of the kind of man or father that he portrayed. He and the 7th Heaven dad...umph, umph, umph.😣

[@traceywilliams9071]

Why were teenage girls hanging out with a grown man? Why is the man messing with teenage girls?

[@rosemarywatson1231]

I had to come back after Claudia spoke. I never thought Bill Cosby was any kind of idol. I liked I Spy and a lot of stuff he did. His comedy was ok, but I preferred Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, Flip Wilson. I never bought into Bill being America's dad because I never bought into Bill Cosby being a doctor . I never really even watched that show. Bill Cosby doesn't owe me anything. He is not my daddy. That's who I looked up to. So anybody who forgets that celebrities are just people deserve to be disappointed when these people mess up.

[@dannytennial5311]

Where's all this for Hugh Hefner? Harvey Weinstein? CBS Les Moonves? Woody Allen?

[@zakiyaseedat3180]

Claudia I totally disagree Harvey Weinstein who is white was convicted. Jeffrey Epstein would of also served time had he not died. Kevin Spacey was also found guilty. So when you say they continue to have careers that not true.

When you are sexually abused you live with that trauma for the rest of your life. I know people are thinking that this happened so long ago and this woman should let it go but they need to understand you can never let go of this kind of trauma. You can heal from it and move forward but a scar will always be there to remind you of what happened.

Soul mates, please protect yourself from society's visions and standards for your life. Never put standards on people you don't know (celebrities), appreciate the good they do and learn from the life lessons you see. Look up to those in your everyday life that can actually be in your life and if you don't have a person like that in your life, it's time to reach out for help and support. Hold yourself in the highest regard and strive to be the role model you want to look up to. Don't set yourself up to be let down.💜💜
