Phylicia Rashad Is Still Caping For Cosby
Rashad later posted to Instagram, expressing support for sexual assault survivors.
“I fully support survivors of sexual assault coming forward. My post was in no way intended to be insensitive to their truth. Personally, I know from friends and family that such abuse has lifelong residual effects. My heartfelt wish is for healing,” she wrote.
Attorney Gloria Allred who represented a number of the women says the court’s decision to overturn Cosby’s conviction and release him from prison is “devastating,” CNN reported.
Rashad, who played Cosby’s wife on the sitcom The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1992, has stood by the comedian’s side. Rashad emphasized Cosby’s image as “America’s Dad” at the time of the allegations, Variety reported.
In 2015, Cosby was charged with raping Andrea Constand at his home in Philadelphia in 2004.
According to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, District Attorney Kevin Steele, who arrested Cosby in 2015, had an obligation to stand by his predecessor’s promise not to charge the comedian, however, he did not follow suit. Once Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court discovered that was the case, the court had no choice but to overturn Cosby’s sexual assault conviction.
Cosby was the first celebrity to be tried and sentenced during the #MeToo era, the Associated Press reported.
