with, and whom I continue to love, is the man you all knew through his work. He is a kind man, a
generous man, a funny man, and a wonderful husband, father and friend. He is the man you

thought you knew.

A different man has been portrayed in the media over the last two months. It is the portrait of a
man Ido not know. It is also a portrait painted by individuals and organizations whom many in the
media have given a pass. There appears to be no vetting of my husband’s accusers before stories

are published or aired. An accusation is published, and immediately goes viral.

We all followed the story of the article in the “Rolling Stone” concerning allegations of rape at the
University of Virginia. The story was heart-breaking, but ultimately appears to be proved to be
untrue. Many in the media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband — until that

story unwound.

None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be

asked — who is the victim?

Atlanta’s Spelman College on Sunday suspended an academic chair named after the Cosbys in honor of their $20

million endowment — the single largest donation to a historically black college.

Bill Cosby was asked over the weekend how his wife of 50 years was handling the wave of allegations, which have led
to projects being canceled and numerous institutions distancing themselves from the comedian. Cosby told the New
York Post: “Love and the strength of womanhood. Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And,

you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love.”

Elahe Izadi is a general assignment national reporter for The Washington Post.


rant in Philadelphia on Oct. 16 (“You leave here and Google ‘Bill Cosby rape.’
It’s not funny,” he said.) the issue went viral on social media and burst back to
life.

On Tuesday, Mr. Cosby was sued for a second time, by a California
woman, Judy Huth, who claimed he molested her in the Playboy Mansion in
Los Angeles in 1974 when she was 15. The Los Angeles police are investigating.

On Wednesday, two women who had not previously spoken out appeared
at a news conference in Los Angeles to accuse Mr. Cosby, including one who
said the comedian invited her to his hotel room in Las Vegas in 1986, drugged
her and sexually assaulted her.

Last month, Mr, Cosby’s lawyer posted a statement — since removed ~ on
the comedian’s website that said Mr, Cosby would not “dignify these
allegations with any comment.”

On Twitter, Mr. Cosby last week thanked two celebrities for supporting
him, Whoopi Goldberg and the singer Jill Seott, a Philadelphia native, who
wrote on Twitter that the accusations had not been proved, adding, “This is
insane.”

But mostly, as accusers have continued to come forward and universities,
television networks and even the Navy cut ties with Mr. Cosby, his prominent
hometown defenders have fallen silent. Both the mayor and Representative
Chaka Fattah of North Philadelphia, who in November called for a “Bill Cosby
Month,” declined to comment last week,

As the University of Massachusetts and High Point University in North
Carolina ended relationships with Mr. Cosby, Temple, where he had been on
the board since 1982, resisted,

An online petition started by an alumnus gathered hundreds of signatures

Bill Cosby Clarifies Statement on Rape Accusations

Bill's lawyer says in a subsequent statement that his client's denials do not refer to Andrea

Bill Cosby's lawyer has clarified his client's statement on the sexual abuse allegations. A

new statement, released on Monday, November 17 on Bill's website, said that Bill's los >
denials did not refer to Andrea Constand, the accuser whose civil lawsuit against the

comedian was settled in 2006.

“Joint statement from Dolores Troiani, counsel to Andrea Constand, and John P. Schmitt,

The statement concluded, "Neither Mr. Cosby nor Ms. Constand intends to comment
further on the matter.”

A previous statement issued by John on Sunday referred to “decade-old, discredited
allegations" against Bill. John said, "The fact that [the allegations] are being repeated

RE: Constand v. Cosby, et al
Dear John:

We consider your statement that the allegations against your client William
Cosby were “discredited” to be a violation of the confidentiality provisions of the
Settlement Agreement in the above captioned matter. It was agreed that neither Cosby
nor his undersigned counsel would disclose any defenses or make any public appearances
or interviews about the information in 14(A) of the agreement which includes not only
Ms. Constand’s allegations but also the allegations made by others.

Ms. Constand has turned down all requests for interviews and statements, Every
time the allegations are mentioned, Ms. Constand’s name is also mentioned. Although I
did not see it, my assistant tells me that the first page of the Complaint was shown on
GMA. The Philadelphia Inquirer clearly linked your statement to my client. In fact, all
of the reports about your statement link it to my client.

We demand a retraction or we will contact Judge Rueter. We believe we are
entitled to issue a statement in fair response which clarifies that Ms. Constand’s
allegations were not discredited but rather were resolved to her satisfaction.

Please call me at your earliest convenience.

Very truly yours,

“Tt is sad for Temple and sad for Bill,” he said.

Mr. O’Connor, a lawyer, defended Mr. Cosby in the 2005 suit brought by
the former administrator of the Temple women’s basketball team, Andrea
Constand. She accused him of giving her pills during a visit to his home in
Cheltenham, a Philadelphia suburb, and of touching her breasts and genitals
against her wishes,

Mr. O'Connor said the terms of the settlement prevent him from stating
an opinion of Mr. Cosby’s guilt or innocence. “If this conduct is true, Bill Cosby
has major issues,” he said, “Bill’s got to live with that. But maybe, if he’s
innocent and the relations were consensual — wow.”

On Broad Street in North Philadelphia, a mural depicts Mr. Cosby in a
loose purple sweater, his trademark look from “The Cosby Show,”

On the hit 1980s series, he was Cliff Huxtable, the wise head of an affluent
black family in which both parents were professionals. Off the air, Mr. Cosby
urged black parents to teach the importance of education and hard work, and
he criticized pop culture's glorification of sex and drugs.

The mural, painted to mark Father's Day, places Mr. Cosby between
Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela.

Passing by, Malik Evans, 29, a barber, said he was skeptical of the
accusations. He suggested Mr, Cosby’s accusers were looking for a piece of his
fortune. “Personally, I don’t believe the Sirls,” he said,

Nicole Cooper, 33, who works as an assistant at a nearby laundry, said
that with so many accusers telling similar stories, she found them credible.
“You can’t just say he didn’t do it because he was Cliff Huxtable,” she said,

She recalled Mr. Cosby walking the neighborhood during a street festival a
couple of years ago, eagerly and enthusiastically hailed,

~ “Everybody's looking at things a ing differently now,* she said, “T think
he let alot of people down.”

Bill Cosby Says He Won't Answer To 'Innuendos'

‘The Huffington Post | By Erin Whitney
Posted: 11/22/2014 1:14 pm EST | Updated: 11/23/2014 12:69 pm EST

Before Bill Cosby took the stage at a sold-out theater in Melbourne, Florida on Friday night, he broke his silence on the recent sexual assault
allegations,

While speaking with Florida Today, the 77-year-old comedian addressed the claims and revealed his reason for silence. "I know people are
8," Cosby told the publication. "People should fact check.

Peonie shouldn't have to go through that and shouldn't answer to innuendos."

In addition to the Florida Today interview, Cosby's lawyer, Marty Singer, released a statement to ABC News on Friday about his client:

"This situation is an unprecedented example of the media’s breakneck rush to run stories without any corroboration or adherence to
traditional journalistic standards. Over and over again, we have refuted these new unsubstantiated stories with documentary evidence,
only to have a new uncorroborated story crop up out of the woodwork. When will it end?"

Cosby has previously refused to answer questions regarding allegations that he sexually assaulted several women. In an interview with

NPR's Scott Simon broadcast on Nov. 15, Cosby shook his head and remained silent when asked to respond to the claims. Cosby also refused

to respond to the AP's Brett Zongker regarding the allegations, saying, "No, no, we don't answer that." He later requested, still on the record,
hat the AP interview be "scuttled."

Bill Cosby on sexual assault
allegations: "I don't talk
about it"

Last Updated Nov 20, 2014 7:58 AM EST

NEW YORK --The first video has surfaced of comedian Bill Cosby responding to
a growing number of sexual assault allegations,

The Associated Press released footage Wednesday night from an interview it
conducted with Cosby on Nov. 6, when the comedian was promoting an exhibit of
artwork he and his wife had lent to the Smithsonian Institution. The video was
first published by Time Magazine.

At the time, the story involved long-circulated accusations from several women
and recent criticism from comedian Hannibal Buress. Cosby declined to comment,
saying "We don't answer that."

"And I'll tell you why," Cosby said. "I think you were told... and I don't want to
compromise your integrity, but we don't, I don't talk about it."

After his initial refusal to comment -- as the
interview was winding down but with the camera
still running and Cosby wearing a lapel
microphone -- the comedian asked the AP to not
use the brief on-camera refusal to comment he
had just made about the allegations.

“Of what value will it have? And I would
appreciate it if it was scuttled," Cosby told the

Camille Cosby breaks her silence, compares
allegations against her husband to Rolling Stone’s
campus rape story

By Elahe Izadi December 15, 2014

In her first public comments since an avalanche of negative stories about her husband began, Camille Cosby
criticized the media for publishing rape allegations against Bill Cosby without “vetting” his accusers — and she

compared the news coverage of those allegations to Rolling Stone’s explosive story about campus rape.

The University of Virginia “story was heart-breaking, but ultimately appears to be proved to be untrue. Many in the
media were quick to link that story to stories about my husband — until that story unwound,” Camille Cosby said in a
statement, which was first reported by CBS News and then ABC News. “None of us will ever want to be in the

position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked — who is the victim?”

Rolling Stone’s story about campus rape at U-Va. sparked widespread rage and calls for action by the school’s
administrators. But reporting by The Washington Post cast new doubt on the narrative of a brutal gang rape, and

Rolling Stone has since apologized for the story, which it is now re-reporting.

Camille Cosby also said the media has “given a pass” to those accusing her husband of rape and other forms of sexual

assault.

The Washington Post reported on the allegations last month in a front-page story, less than two weeks after
publishing this first-person essay by Barbara Bowman: “Bill Cosby raped me. Why did it take 30 years for people to
believe my story?”

Here is Camille Cosby’s full statement:

extolling on TV and in books the value of education and intact African-
American families, with allegations of his sexual violence toward women going
back five decades,

Last Monday, Mr. Cosby resigned from the board of Temple University
amid a pressure campaign by students and alumni.

He was the face of the school nationwide, speaking at graduations, and as
recently as at the freshman convocation in August.

On campus, students were largely relieved that he had stepped down, “A
lot of people don’t want him here,” said Adaisah Johnson, 19, a sophomore
from Freehold, N.J.

Another sophomore, Eva Arce, 20, from North Philadelphia like Mr.
Cosby, recalled him as “a cool dad figure” from her childhood, and regretted
his fall from that pedestal.

“It’s kind of sad knowing one of the major Philly icons is not going to be
up there anymore and will be looked at in a bad light,” she said,

Cindy Bass, a City Council member who grew up in North Philadelphia
and attended Temple, credited Mr. Cosby with bringing national recognition
to the 37,000-student university, a haven for poor and working-class students.

“But it is important to note that I know Cliff Huxtable, the family man
who was welcomed into my living room every Thursday night. I don’t know
Bill Cosby,” she said in a written statement,

She said Mr. Cosby’s resignation should spur the university to re-examine

Women “are ashamed about what took place and terrified of the potential for
public humiliation” if they report assaults, Ms. Bass said. 8

_ ~-Agrowing national awareness of the issue, echoed in cases in the military
and on campuses, seems to explain part of why the allegations against Mr,
Cosby, first made more than a decade ago, have resurfaced with such force.

None of the earlier accounts led to criminal charges. A suit filed bya

Temple athletic department administrator against Mr. Cosby in 2005 was
settled out of court, The matter largely faded, but after Mr. Buress’s anti-Cosby

discredited allegations

Multiple women have accused
Cosby of sexual assault over the
years, though the comedian has
never been convicted of any
charge. The assertions have come
back into the public eye in recent
months, helped in part by comedian
Hannibal Buress publicly
incorporating them into a stand-up

Philadelphia Laments Bill Cosby’s Now-Tarnished
Image

By TRIP GABRIEL DEC. 7, 2014
PHILADELPHIA — It was seven weeks ago that a stand-up comic named
Hannibal Buress ripped into a local icon at the Trocadero Theater here, calling
Bill Cosby a “rapist” and setting in motion a cascade of ugly allegations that
threaten to undermine an image Mr. Cosby built over decades,

Nowhere has the precipitous fall of Mr. Cosby been more acutely felt than
in Philadelphia, where he was a cherished native son who shot to fame
spinning humorous tales of a childhood in public housing. He became a
philanthropist and cheerleader for his hometown, not least through the
Temple sweatshirts that he wore onstage and on “The Cosby Show” and that
put his alma mater on the map. ;

As recently as Veterans Day, Mayor Michael A. Nutter acknowledged Mr.

Cosby at: a ceremony on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, saying, “Thank you,
six, for everything,”

But as more than 15 women have publicly accused the comedian of
assault, often after drugging them, his hometown has plunged into a re-
examination of his life and ties to the city. It is a process painful and sad, as
residents try to square the image of Mr. Cosby as a beloved father figure,
