A night with Bill Cosby: It's Complicated

Bill Cosby is widely known for his performance on the hit TV sitcom, "The Cosby Show." Many Americans looked up to him and watched the show, not only because he was wholesome and made them laugh, but because off the screen he was known for being a philanthropist, benefactor, and his support of the black community. However, he has been under scrutiny lately because of his alleged sexual assault charges. It did affect High Point University, which is why I chose to relay this article. He was also let go from our board that he served on. Cosby hosted a comedy show in Augusta, Georgia with many supporters that purchased tickets, it was not however a sold out show. As Cosby walked across the stage for the first time, a man in the audience shouted his support for Cosby and his recent legal allegations. Cosby's response was, "No, no, we will not cover that today," Cosby says. "We are not talking about that tonight. What we're going to cover is the performance of Bill Cosby."
Obviously, it would not be a good legal move to comment on his current case, but I feel that he is just trying to avoid the subject altogether. There are too many women who came forward and too much evidence to deny that he is guilty.
