Last night, New York Magazine released this groundbreaking cover, photographs and firsthand accounts from their story about the women who were drugged and assaulted by Bill Cosby. So far, 46 women have come forward and 35 of them posed for and gave their story to the magazine. The empty chair, which made me think of Clint Eastwood (Damn you, Clint!), symbolizes the women who didn’t want to be photographed and the ones who have yet to come forward.
The women, including Beverly Johnson and Janice Dickinson, range in age from 44 to 80. New York Magazine spent 6 months researching and interviewing as many of Cosby’s alleged victims as possible. New York’s Noreen Malone wrote an essay for the cover and here’s a piece of it via Jezebel:
The group of women Cosby allegedly assaulted functions almost as a longitudinal study—both for how an individual woman, on her own, deals with such trauma over the decades and for how the culture at large has grappled with rape over the same time period. […] The first assumption was that women who accused famous men were after money or attention. As Cosby allegedly told some of his victims: No one would believe you. So why speak up?
New York has also been Instagramming portraits and audio clips from each interview.
If the section marked “Bill Cosby’s Defenders” still has people in it after reading this cover story and the gross shit he said in his leaked deposition, there’s no hope for them. Bill Cosby himself could say, “I dippity dop dop did it,” and they would still cover their ears while screaming, “Not TV’s beloved father!”
New York Magazine was hacked this morning, so you can’t access the story right now. No, you don’t have to check to see if Phylicia Rashad has been taking hacking classes at The Learning Annex. Apparently, the hacking had nothing to do with the Cosby story. The alleged hacker told The Daily Dot that he hacked New York Magazine’s website, because the magazine is named after the city where he had a shitty vacation. He claims he hasn’t even seen the cover. I guess “hacking a website that is named after the thing you hate” is the new “leaving a bad Yelp review.“
Spelman College No Longer Wants To Be Associated With Bill Cosby
Time to add another name to the already long list of people who are slowly backing away from Bill Cosby. CNN says that Spelman College in Atlanta, GA has decided to pull the William and Camille Olivia Hanks Cosby Endowed Professorship. Spelman College released a statement on Saturday announcing that the WCOHCEP, which has been suspended since December, has been “discontinued“, and that related funds have been returned to the Clara Elizabeth Jackson Carter Foundation. Sidenote: when you read WCOHCEP out loud, it totally sounds like one of Bill Cosby’s made-up gibberish words.
Bill and Spelman go back a long way. Two of Bill and Camille’s daughters, Erika and Evin, went to Spelman, and their son Ennis went to Morehouse, a college connected to Spelman. Spelman is also one of the inspirations for Hillman College, the fake college Cliff and Clair Huxtable went to on The Cosby Show and Denise Huxtable went to on A Different World.
Spelman College doesn’t say why they got rid of the William and Camille Olivia Hanks Cosby Endowed Professorship. I don’t think we’d be going out on too far of a limb to assume it has something to do with The New York Times releasing more nuggets of not-right from Bill Cosby’s 2005 deposition last week. They also haven’t said anything about the Camille Olivia Hanks Cosby, Ed.D. Academic Center, but since Camille Cosby’s name doesn’t make people grimace like Bill’s does, it’s probably sticking around for a while.

Bill Cosby’s Lawyer Thinks His Released 2005 Deposition Was Used To Wrongly Smear Him (UPDATE)
And today in “THIS BITCH,” Bill Cosby’s lawyers filed papers yesterday to block further release of the deposition where he admitted to buying Quaaludes to give to women for “sex” and made us all wet heave up our internal organs by bragging about all the “seduction techniques” he used on the young women he wanted to get with. The deposition Bill threw up was part of the lawsuit filed against him by Andrea Constand who accused him of drugging and assaulting her in early 2004. The case ended with a settlement. Bill’s lawyers are now crying that because his deposition was given to the media, the settlement agreement was violated. Bill Cosby’s lawyers want the rest of the settlement details (like how many stacks of $100 bills Cosby passed to Andrea) sealed and kept from public eyes. Cosby’s lawyers continued to diarrhea out a whine fest by saying that the media twisted what he said in the deposition to make him look like a sleazy rapist. I’m pretty sure Bill Cosby deserves all the credit for that, but whatever.
The New York Times Published More Excerpts From Bill Cosby’s Vomit-Inducing Deposition
If your Sunday hangover has given you the dry heaves and you need something to inspire you to barf everything in your stomach out, here’s the perfect thing!
Around two weeks, The Associated Press was able to get a judge to unseal the 2005 deposition that speckled lump of grossness Bill Cosby gave when he was sued by Andrea Constand who claimed that he drugged and assaulted her in 2004 at his home in Pennsylvania. In the AP’s piece, they said that Bill Cosby admitted to buying quaaludes to give to women for “sex.” Well, The New York Times threw up more pieces from the 1,000-page deposition and it’s a great thing to read if you’ve been looking for an excuse to dunk your head in a giant pot full of boiling ammonia.
Satan Just Put On A Parka, Because Whoopi Goldberg Changed Her Tune On The Bill Cosby
Ever since Hannibal Buress opened up Bill Cosby’s closet and pulled out and dusted off those drugging and rape allegations, Whoopi Goldberg has defended Cosby like crazy. Whoopi defended him the same way I defended Chicken Cutlets when a former friend said, “I don’t know what you see in Phoebe Price.” Whoopi practically kicked off her clogs and issued a “You in danger, girl” on anybody who dared say that Bill Cosby is most likely guilty. Whoopi continued to throw fists for Cosby even after we all found out that he admitted in a deposition to buying ludes to give to women. But today, the defender of anything and everything joined Jill Scott by swan diving off of Cosby’s sinking ship. That leaves a confused Bill Cosby standing on a slanted deck holding a silver tray full of drinks as one of his lone supporters Phylicia Rashad throws him a look that says, “Yeah, I’m not that thirsty.”
Camille Cosby Is Gladly Going Down With The Ship
Just like Bill Cosby’s TV wife Detective Phylicia Rashad did, his real life of wife of 51 years is putting her hands over her ears, shutting her eyes and saying, “lalalalalala they’re all lying lallalalala,” over and over again. Camille Cosby has taken the definition of “ride or die bitch” to new levels of TOO FAR by sticking with Bill Cosby through all of the dozens upon dozens of drugging and rape allegations. Last year, Camille let us all know that pure delusion runs through her veins when she called Bill the “real victim” and she hasn’t changed her mind. As the S.S. Pudding Pop slowly sinks to the bottom of the ocean, Camille is staying onboard even after it came out that Bill Cosby admitted during a deposition in 2005 to buying quaaludes to give to women for “sex.” Camille reportedly thinks that all those women willingly took the ludes and willingly had sex with her husband.
The New York Post says that Camille, who is also Bill’s business manager, held a crisis meeting with advisers to discuss how they’re going to save whatever is left of his chewed-up Pudding Pop stick of a career. According to one of the Cosbys’ employees, Camille feels personally threatened by all the allegations since she helped build Bill’s career and she is not going to watch it slide into the sewers. So Camille has told herself that Bill Cosby isn’t a serial rapist, he’s a serial cheating slut. That’s what Camille thinks and she’s apparently okay with Bill screwing around on her. The source spilled this out:
“Camille still doesn’t believe that Bill provided drugs and had sex with women without their consent. She’s well aware of his cheating, but she doesn’t believe that her husband is a rapist. [She is] a proud, dignified but stubborn woman. You can say that she’s standing by her husband, but really, the more people stand against him, the more she perceives it as an affront to her and all that she’s done to make him a star.”
The source also claims that Camille declared during the meeting that she’s going to fix this and said that “they are making him out to be such a bad guy, a monster.”
I never knew that Camille is Bill Cosby’s business manager and now it all makes sense, but DAMN. Camille needed Olivia Pope at that crisis meeting, because Olivia Pope would’ve told her that it’s probably not such a good idea to go out onstage and sing, “Stand by your drugging and raping maaaaaaaaan.“
