Phylicia Rashad Suggests Bill Cosby May Be A Victim Of False Accusations
In a new interview, Rashad shares her feelings about the scandal that led her former co-star to lose his freedom This week, Phylicia Rashad had a message for all the The Cosby Show fans torn about watching the sitcom since Bill Cosby’ s fall from grace.
“I don’t know why anybody would feel that way,” she tells Bustle . “I just don’t accept what somebody says because they say it, and they say it in a loud voice. The internet has given a lot of anonymous people a very loud voice. And this too has happened before.”
“Zora Neale Hurston died a pauper,” Rashad continues. “And do you know why? You should do a little research on that. You should go back and look at some charges that were brought up against her that didn’t make any sense. And look at what happened when the judge had thrown out the case, but it had gone through [Black magazines], through this step and the other, and her books were taken off the shelf.”
Hurston was falsely accused of sexually abusing her 10-year-old son in 1948, per The New York Times. She was indicted, but the case was thrown out later, having no real basis. Nevertheless, Hurston ‘s career never recovered — and Rashad seems to imply here that charges against Cosby had been made in the hope of having a similar effect.

TNHT Staff: @YesThatsDee _________________________________ Neighbors, due the controversy surrounding Bill Cosby’s incarceration, a lot of people have decided to cancel him and anything associated with his legacy…including “The Cosby Show.” Well, there’s one person who isn’t canceling a thing and that’s Phylicia Rashad, A.K.A Clair Huxtable. _____________________________________________ During a recent interview with Bustle, The 72-year-old legend was asked about those who are no longer comfortable viewing the show as they once were. _____________________________________________ Her response was, “I don’t know why anybody would feel that way,” she said. “I just don’t accept what somebody says because they say it, and they say it in a loud voice. The internet has given a lot of anonymous people a very loud voice. And this, too, has happened before.” _____________________________________________ Rashad brought up false allegations that were made against the late author Zora Neale Hurston, with her neighbor accusing the writer of having relations with their 10-year-old son. The case would eventually be thrown out as she was proven to be out of the country when she was alleged to have committed the crime. _____________________________________________ She believes that in due time more truth will come out concerning Cosby as it did with Hurston. _____________________________________________ “And so I know what I know, and I just stay with what I know,” she added, while remarking on both the allegations against Hurston, and those that led to convictions of Cosby. “And it will happen in time, that this will come around another way, as it often does. And then people say, ‘Oh,’” she explained.
