Bill Cosby Sexual Assault Allegations: Actor Breaks Silence on Accusations, Says 'Reality is the Situation' [Watch]
Bill Cosby coyly fielded questions about the numerous sexual assault allegations he now faces during a Friday morning "Good Morning America" show appearance.
While in Selma, Alabama, to speak to high school students about the importance of a sound education as part of the Black Belt Foundation's drive to raise awareness about underfunded schools, the 77-year-old Cosby was pressed with questions about all the growing accusations.
"I'm not sure that they will come like that," Cosby told ABC when hit with the question of how he would respond if any of the students raised the question, "Did you do it?"
Cosby later said: "I think that many of them say, 'Well, you're a hypocrite. You say one thing, you say the other.' My point is okay, listen to me carefully. I'm telling you where the road is out. Now you want to go here or you want to be concerned about who's giving you the message?"
Cosby went on to bring up his more than five-decades-long career in show business, adding: "It's interesting. When I talk to people, they will say, 'This is a situation that's unprecedented.' I, my family, my friends. I have been in this business 52 years. I've never seen anything like this. And reality is the situation. And I can't speak."
Cosby later addressed the question of his legacy, stating: "I have a ton of ideas to put on television about people and their love for each other."
One of the women accusing Cosby is former "Cosby Show" show actress Lili Bernard, who claims after winning her trust and becoming her mentor, Cosby drugged and raped her more than 20 years ago. Bernard played zany school teacher Mrs. Minifield while on the show in the 1990s.
According to the New York Daily News, she recently met with New Jersey police in hopes of moving forward with criminal charges being filed against the famed comedian. Attorneys for Cosby have vehemently all the allegations lodged against him.
