Bill Cosby accused of Rape - say it ain't so

US comedian Bill Cosby has resigned from the board of trustees of Temple University in Philadelphia amid ongoing allegations of sexual assault.

Bill Cosby ‘used daughter as a scapegoat’ by leaking drug addiction details to kill sex scandal

Now a report has emerged that Cosby used his own daughter Erinn’s struggles with drugs and alcohol to stave off an expose about his sexual exploits by The National Enquirer magazine in 1989.

Page Six in New York claims the story about Cosby’s alleged “swinging with Sammy Davis Jr. and some showgirls in Las Vegas” was considered a threat.

Desperate to divert attention, he passed the publication explicit details about then 23-year-old’s Erinn’s battle.

“My editor told me that daddy Cosby was the source. He ratted out his flesh and blood,” a source told Page Six.

Errin was sent to therapy and she wrote her father that she had developed a $200-a-day cocaine habit. Cosby offered to pay for rehab but she wasn’t welcome back in the house until she kicked the habit.

‘You think you’re not a good parent because you don’t answer the call. But you can’t let the kid use you,’ Cosby told Lawrence Christon, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times.

To some, ‘the interview provided an unsettling glimpse at the judgmental, sometimes pitiless side of Cosby’s personality’.

Hot to trot: : Cosby was wild about the Bunnies at the Playboy Mansion. He and Hefner were best buds

Cosby had to go on the road to build that nest egg back up and that meant commuting to New York and Los Angeles for work -- putting him right back in the Devil’s playground of swingers and Playboy bunnies. His West Coast playboy lifestyle would catch up with him when he redialed Shawn Berkes phone number for another rendez-vous in Vegas.



Decades later, she [Camille] would confess to the pain that her husband’s "selfish" behavior caused her in their LA years, as he indulged a roving eye’, writes Whitaker.


It was at the Playboy Mansion in 1977 when Cosby’s hot temper flared and he sucker-punched comedian Tommy Smothers in the back of his head.

‘Tommy had chided Cosby for not coming out against the Vietnam War and taking a more public stance on civil rights issues’. Cosby approached Tommy while he was talking with Hugh Hefner.

Tommy complimented Cosby on his show saying ‘It was a really good effort’, which sounded condescending to Cosby, who refused to respond. Tommy then said, ‘Well, f*** you’! and walked off.


Cosby was so furious that he couldn't control himself. He slipped around Hefner and punched Smothers in the head from behind, so hard that the smaller comedian fell to the ground.

‘C’mon, I’ll kick your ass’! he shouted at Smothers’…Hef separated the two men and it was the talk of the town by morning.

Cosby’s violent temper had erupted on the set of The Cosby Show at the end of the first season. Frustrated during rehearsal, Cosby directed his anger at a cameraman he thought was slacking off. ‘Cosby grabbed the technician and looked as if he was going to take a swing at him until Ahmad Rashad, who was dating [Cosby’s TV wife,] Phylicia Ayers-Allen and was visiting the set, stepped into restrain him’

Camille: Self-definition. To be loved and to have people to love. To be joyful. I'm beginning to find the joy again since our son died. I like to be joyful. What also sustains me is feeling that I am achieving something in my work. To see my daughters turn out to be okay sustains me, because I feel that that is my mothering and Bill's fathering.

Oprah: You mentioned that raising children was one of your most difficult jobs. How do you raise five children to respect their individuality? How do you raise responsible, thoughtful, kind, generous, smart children?

Camille: With five different children, you have five different ways to parent. You're not always successful, no matter what you do, because nothing is definite about how your children will turn out. Sometimes they take a wrong turn, and you have to rein them in. But in terms of environment, we moved to a rural area, and I put them in public schools. I didn't put them in private schools until they were in high school. I wanted them to be in an environment that was diverse culturally, ethnically, religiously, and this town provided that.

The children were clear that Bill and I had rules, and that doesn't mean they didn't break them sometimes, but there were rules. And if you disobeyed the rules, there would be ramifications. And we always let them know, "This home is our home, this is our money, these are our material things—not yours. You haven't earned them yet. We're giving you a gift to be raised in this environment. You have to prepare to forge your own way in the world."

Oprah: Isn't teaching children that lesson difficult? At least when they have an environment in which they don't have a lot of the things they desire, their focus is getting to that point.

Camille: I teach by example. I don't expect my children to be like me, but to have my same sense of morals and values. They are clear when I am displeased. I tell them, "I don't care what your peers are doing; you cannot do that. I don't care how much money your father and I have; you cannot have that." I am very clear, and Bill is, too. We are together on this.

Camille: I don't belong to a formal religion, but I am spiritual. I believe there is a spiritual force that cannot be defined in terms of how it looks. I don't believe that it is a he or a she or just an it. I think it is a combination of the above. It is arrogant for humans to create the image of a spiritual force in the image of a human, and especially a male. And until women put more pressure on the major religions to change the pronouns, we will always have a difficult time establishing our rightful place in society.


Oprah: What you said earlier about feeling pain was powerful, because the way to real happiness is through your feelings. You can't get there unless you are willing to excavate your feelings.

Camille: Absolutely. Feelings are important. I think a lot of people are afraid to be in touch with their feelings. That's why they do all kinds of busy stuff. They continuously gratify themselves with other stuff so they are not dealing with feelings. They have noise around them all the time—loud music and TV. Yet the only way to know who you are and to project that is to deal with your feelings. And if you have baggage to purge, then you have to go to those you have hurt and say to them "I'm sorry." That's difficult for people who stuff their feelings. All of us have done something to hurt somebody.

Oprah: Who has been your Sheba, Camille?

Camille: I have a couple of Shebas. My mom, very much so. She is a fighter, and she is never afraid to jump out there and protest and give her time, no matter how busy she is. Another Sheba is a friend of the family, Dr. Dorothy Height, who is 88 now. Not because she is the head of the National Council of Negro Women, but because she was right in there with all those men who led the civil rights movement. When women were asked to provide services and do the footwork, Dorothy said, "No.... You're not going to take all the credit. I'm going to be right there with you, as a woman." She didn't take a secondary role to a man then or now. I like that spirit in her, that tenacity.

Oprah: Is there anything internally—emotional or spiritual—that makes you fearful about being all that you can be?

Camille: Nothing.

Oprah: Nothing that holds you back?

Camille: Not at this stage. The only thing that can hold me back is myself.

I agree it appears that he has absolutely no respect for women,

We dont agree because I dont see any evidence that he has no respect for women, the evidence goes mostly the other way. He has (had) a kink for sadomasochistic sex, which was about the needs of his soul, it was not about women. It is really sad that he did not get that itch scratched legally/consensually, and it is too bad that women did not bring this to our attention in a timely manner so that he could be punished, but dont trot out the feminists script that he must hate women unless you at the same time bring some evidence. Bill Cosby is a real person, and he must be evaluated in reality and on the evidence, not in the fantasy world that the feminists keep trying to sell us.

Quote:

the same way Jesse Jackson is king of all the black people?

Jesse Jackson has been irrelevant for a decade. He got more so a couple of years back when his kid turned out to be an incompetent lying thieving bastard. Pops absolutely gets some of the blame.

his wife, what they were "good girls", .......... she wouldn't perform sexual fantasies of his.

He has (had) a kink for sadomasochistic sex, which was about the needs of his soul, it was not about women.

He was interested in sex with young women who were completely powerless and passive--they were passed out cold

but she apparently chose to deal with what she called his "selfish" behavior by relocating to Massachusetts where she wouldn't have to be constantly made aware of what he was doing in L.A. or Vegas

Asked by Oprah Winfrey in 2010 how the couple had weathered the storm of the entertainer's infidelity, Camille Cosby admitted she had known about her husband's affair with Upshaw 'back in the Seventies'.

Camille told how she had asked her husband to take a DNA test to be certain he was not the father of Jackson - saying if he had not, 'Autumn Jackson and her cohorts could continue with their story.'

Discussing a time when the Cosbys had focused on 'selfish needs', Camille said: 'We were both young. We had to go through a lot. It's difficult to learn to live with somebody, to be unselfish and to be responsible for your behavior - and even to think how you hurt others if you do certain things.

'You go through a transition, if you are committed to each other. You cleanse yourself of all of that baggage, and you look at each other and determine whether the relationship is worth salvaging, whether you really love each other and want to be together.

'Then you realize, 'Wait a minute. I might have been doing this because I just didn't want to think about how this would affect the other person or to allow myself to love someone with emotional intimacy'.

Have you ever heard of "breath play"? Exactly the same idea, and a huge areas of interest in BDSM. It absolutely should be consensual, but sometimes it is not.

he world of BDSM is a diverse one. One area of it is known as “breath-play.”
Breath-play involves the restriction of oxygen to increase erotic play or to intensify an orgasm or sexual experience.
This can either be achieved through solo-play (autoerotic asphyxiation) or through partner play, in which the submissive is the one who’s airflow is restricted.
