Whoopi Goldberg continues to voice support for Bill Cosby, even after new evidence from 2005 came to light, explaining that he is “innocent until proven guilty.” Yesterday on The View, she expressed her opinion by saying that she didn’t want to make any judgments about the comedian;
“I don’t like snap judgments because I’ve had snap judgments made on me, so I’m very, very careful. Save your texts. Save your nasty comments. I don’t care.
I say this because this is my opinion, and in America, still, I know it’s a shock, but you are still innocent until proven guilty… He has not been proven a rapist.”
And talk about AWKWARD –co-host Raven-Symoné, who noted Cosby “gave me my first job,” admitted it was hard to talk about him.
“I don’t really like to discuss [this] because he is the reason I am on this panel in the first place. You need proof, and then I will be able to give my judgment here or there.”
OK, fine. We may never know – but it’s looking harder and harder to justify shielding this guy. We don’t know he’s guilty but in saying that, we have to admit we are ignoring and discounting the word of more than two dozen women who say otherwise. (via Huffington Post)
