A judge on Friday in Los Angeles appeared strongly inclined to allow Bill Cosby to invoke his Fifth Amendment privilege and avoid giving a deposition in the lawsuit of a woman who alleges he sexually abused her when she was 15 in the mid-1970s. At a hearing to argue the issue, Superior Court Judge Craig Karlan agreed with Cosby's attorney that the 84-year-old has a reasonable fear of again facing criminal charges for one or more of the many sexual assault allegations that have been publicly aired against him and has a right to avoid saying anything under oath that might lead to such charges. "It does appear he has a reasonable fear of prosecution, and if new information came out, that could cause a prosecutor to change their mind," Karlan said.

An attorney for Bill Cosby asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to reject prosecutors' recent bid to revive his criminal sexual assault case now that he's been released from prison.  The 84-year-old actor and comedian has been free since June, when a Pennsylvania appeals court overturned his conviction and released him after nearly three years. The state’s highest court found that Cosby believed he had a nonprosecution agreement with a former district attorney when he gave damaging testimony in the accuser's 2005 lawsuit.That testimony later led to his arrest in 2015.

Bill Cosby, 84, and his wife Camille Cosby, 77, have had five children during their 58-year marriage. Once affectionately dubbed America’s dad, the comedian’s reputation was tarnished after 60 women have spoken out and claimed that he sexually assaulted them, with the claims ranging from groping to rape. While many of these instances had happened too long ago for him to be convicted, he was able to be tried for sexually assaulting his former friend Andrea Constand in 2004 and was found guilty on three counts of 2018. The decision was reversed due to a legal technicality and he was freed in 2021.

Camille Cosby, 77, has been married to disgraced comedian Bill Cosby, 84, for 58 years. Once known as America’s dad, Bill was accused of sexually assaulting, with claims ranging from groping to rape, 60 women. The crusade against Cosby started when Andrea Constand accused him of assaulting her in 2004 and filed a police report against him in 2005, which he was found guilty of in 2018. 10 years later after the incident took place, between 2014 and 2015, over 50 women came forward and accused him of assault.

Addie Morfoot ContributorW. Kamau Bell expected Bill Cosby to respond to the four-part Showtime docuseries that Bell has produced about the pioneering but now disgraced entertainer. But Bell was surprised by how Cosby chose to comment following the Jan.

Bill Cosby’s rep Andrew Wyatt has issued a statement regarding W. Kamau Bell’s four-part docuseries “We Need to Talk About Cosby”.

Even the title of W. Kamau Bell’s “We Need to Talk About Cosby” is loaded – because when we talk about Bill Cosby, we’re not just talking about Bill Cosby.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticDeep into W. Kamau Bell’s new four-part documentary, “We Need to Talk About Cosby,” panelists are asked to describe who Bill Cosby is, as if to a person who had never heard of him before. Does one lead with his phenomenal career successes as a comedian and actor? Or the crimes of which he’s been credibly accused — and for which he was convicted in 2018, before that conviction was overturned on a technicality in 2021?It’s a familiar question, one of separating the art from the artist — so familiar, indeed, that Bell literally asking, in voice-over, “Can you separate the art from the artist?” five minutes before the documentary ends feels a little trite.

For decades, Bill Cosby was widely known as an icon in the comedy world, but also as "America's dad." The persona largely came from his famed roles in television shows like "The Cosby Show," which saw him play a wholesome and loving father and husband.  Furthermore, he was seen as a pioneer for Black comedians and actors, having been the first Black actor to star in a weekly drama series ("I Spy") and the first Black person to win an Emmy for acting. However, public perception of the comic, now 84, changed when he was accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women. Now, Showtime is set to examine the complicated nature of Cosby's historical significance in relation to his tarnished reputation in the new limited series "We Need To Talk About Cosby." "Do not edit this," warns a woman in the trailer for the show, which was released Wednesday.

“The idea being if I’m to really learn the lessons of Bill Cosby then this is a part of that,” exclaims W. Kamau Bell of the trenchant We Need To Talk About Cosby. “This is about being smart, being aware, caring about your community,” adds the director of the four-episode docuseries set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22 and on Showtime on January 30.

Can you separate the art from the artist? That’s a question that is presented to so many film and TV fans nowadays, as we begin to learn a lot of the terrible actions that many celebrities have been getting away with behind the scenes for years. And perhaps no one is more shocking, in that regard, than Bill Cosby, who is the subject of the new docuseries, “We Need to Talk About Cosby.” READ MORE: Sundance 2022 Preview: 20 Must-See Movies From The Festival As seen in the trailer for the new series from director W.

Bill Cosby was convicted of rape — well, aggravated indecent assault — for his use of pills, reportedly Quaaludes, that he would allegedly use to drug women and then have sex while they were unable to consent. But was his buddy Hugh Hefner doing the same thing for years?
