Bill Cosby Part 1 - The Story of America's Dad, Sedatives, and Rape
Manage episode 299998653 series 2919086
William Henry Cosby Jr. broke cultural and racial barriers in 1961 when he co starred in I Spy and won three Emmys. He wrote best selling books about parenthood, had a Grammy award winning comic routine where he developed the Fat Albert character, developed The Cosby Show where he played Cliff Huxtable and gained the reputation of being “America’s Dad”. He endorsed Jell-O products, and Coca Cola he was a husband and a father. America grieved with him when his son Ennis, was murdered in 1997.
Years ago we watched Bill Cosby, smiling at his warm hearted moments, and with his silly dad jokes and self-deprecating humor only now to realize the man who left an entire generation wishing he was their father but… he was also a monster.
A monster who preyed on women, manipulating them into a false sense of security, grooming them and drugging them and assaulting them while he played a character who embodied a family oriented comedian.
