The past three days have been horrible for Bill Cosby. First on Monday, November 17th, former supermodel Janice Dickinson became the 15th woman to come forward accusing Bill Cosby of having raped her many years ago. Then on Tuesday, Netflix decided to postpone the release of their "Bill Cosby 77" special, due to the building rape accusations, and now today, November 19th, NBC has followed in their footsteps and pulled the plug on Bill Cosby's sitcom.
NBC released a brief, yet very direct statement on their stance regarding working with Bill on a TV show:
"We can confirm that the Cosby project is no longer in development."
The 77-year-old's lawyer, Martin Singer, has since spoken out against the accusations thrown over Bill's reputation.
"Janice Dickinson's story accusing Bill Cosby of rape is a lie," Mr. Singer said. "There is a glaring contradiction between what she is claiming now for the first time and what she wrote in her own book and what she told the media back in 2002."
The news has been very hard for many of Bill's loyal fans to absorb, and many have been sticking by him and the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" on this matter. However, there are many people who find the growing number of alleged victims to be too disturbing to ignore and they have since bashed Bill for potentially being a serial rapist. Many Twitter users also cosigned NBC and Netflix's decisions to halt their association with Bill Cosby at this time.
