I'm still in shock that something like this may have actually happened. A lot of the 'victims' (as we are not sure if it actually happened) were very young at the time, the youngest being Barbara bowman at 17.
Some of the women's stories do not add up. Joan Tarshis's tale for me is the most skeptical. She claims she was sexually assaulted twice on separate occasions. The first time the assault involved oral sex. Now correct me if I'm wrong but how is oral sex rape? She didn't selectively say he forced her to get down on her knees; instead she stated she was short, 'midget sized' and when standing her mouth was in the perfect position. In her video report she seemed emotionless, which led me to question the truth in what she was saying. So, let's accept that he forced her to perform oral sex, why did she go back the second time ? According to her this was when he full on raped her. Rape or they had sex ? We might actually never know.
I wish these women would define what they actually mean by rape. The mention of pills and alcohol in these scenarios certainly do not make matters any better. But to me; rape is when a sexual act is performed without full consent of all parties involved. Even if her body is saying yes (I.E the vagina is wet because you have placed your hands there), if her mouth is saying 'no' and you proceed you my friend, have raped her. And vice versa with guys.
So why didn't these women come forward before now? They are all stating they did not think anyone would believe them. Which is absurd to me as they were all child stars, of course the police would fight for them. But then again you never know, as back in the day families were a lot stricter. Not every one is comfortable enough to tell those close to them of such an incident, as weird as it sounds. Rape occurs more frequently and closely to us than you can imagine, especially within the black community. And this is due to ignorance of what rape actually is, I believe. Perhaps these women and Bill were actually in relationships but one or the other read a little too much into certain signals for intimacy. Perhaps the women wanted sex, but felt guilty the morning after. Maybe they are just after settlement money..
Bill Cosby, remains quiet on the situation for now. Which screams to me 'not guilty'. It takes a special kind of wisdom to understand the concept of 'silence is the best answer for a fool'. When you know you are right, there is sometimes no gain in trying to justify yourself to an individual who is already deluded or close minded. His lawyer, John P. Schmitt released a statement on his behalf:
"Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives."

On the other hand, it could mean he knows his secret is out and it's all over for him. The long reign of his empire seems to be tumbling down, and is now indefinitely tainted. Reruns of the Cosby Show have now been stopped. All television shows, where he was due to appear are now not being developed anymore. He is still doing live appearances though.
We just have to wait for a court hearing to know the real truth, and i'm praying real justice is served for all parties involved.
Thanks for reading guys. Peace & love; peace & chunks ❤️😘
