After vigorously defending her friend Bill Cosby from allegations of repeated sexual assault, Whoopi Goldberg seems to have done an about face –maybe to SAVE face. Following reports that a 2005 deposition included Cosby admitting to giving quaaludes to women for sex, Goldberg defended the legendary comedian, arguing that he had not been conclusively proven a rapist. In spite of alleged death threats, The View host persisted, telling critics to “back off.”
She has a LONG history of doing this, as James St. James reported here. But on yesterday’s edition of The View, Whoopi interviewed ABC’s Dan Abrams. After being convinced that Cosby’s accusers have had no other recourse beyond releasing the depositions, Whoopi said;
“If this is to be tried in the court of public opinion, I got to say all of the information that’s out there kind of points to guilt.
I always thought they would have the opportunity to take him to court, but you’re saying that’s not true?”
“They don’t,” Abrams confirmed.
She explains here why she can’t defend Cosby any longer:
“I have to say I thought that, yeah, here’s all the information, take his ass to jail. I find out from you [Abrams] that that’s not possible. So I can’t say any more ‘innocent until proven guilty,’ because there’s no way to prove it. We are the only proof that folks have.”
Duh, Whoopi. Watch.
