Bill Cosby Breaks Silence Amid Rape Allegations, Thanks 'Strength of Womanhood' for His Succesful Marriage
On Friday, Bill Cosby spoke briefly with the New York Post about his opinion on "black media's" involvement in the recent allegations that the comedian raped over two dozen women, including super models Janice Dickinson and Beverly Johnson.
Although Cosby did not specifically acknowledge the rape allegations, he did address and advise "black media" to remain "neutral" amidst his current scandal.
"Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind," Cosby said.
When asked to discuss the current status of his marriage to wife, Camille amidst the rape allegations, Cosby suggested that he and his wife are doing fine.
"Love and the strength of womanhood," Cosby responded. "Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And, you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love."
Page Six reports that Cosby abruptly concluded the interview following his response about his marriage.
"They don't want me talking to the media," he said.
Johnson is the latest woman to come forward publicly to address her alarming experience with Cosby. Although she did not accuse Cosby of raping her, Johnson did write a piece for Vanity Fair about the comedian drugging her many years ago.
"I knew by the second sip of the drink Cosby had given me that I'd been drugged -- and drugged good," she said. "My head became woozy, my speech became slurred, and the room began to spin nonstop. ... As I felt my body go completely limp, my brain switched into automatic-survival mode."
In an attempt to stop Cosby from further taking advantage of her, Johnson recalled calling Cosby a "motherf**ker" several times. With each slur, Cosby became more angry, she said. According to Johnson, Cosby ultimately dragged her outside of his house and "shoved" her into a taxi.
