Bill Cosby Urges 'Black Media' To Stay 'Neutral' Over His Rape Allegations

The New York Post's "Page Six" is reporting that they reached at the star's Massachusetts home, and even though Bill once again declined to address the rape and sex abuse allegations against him, he instead said that the African-American media — for which this reporter often writes — should be impartial.

“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.

The comedian, who is being represented by attorneys Martin Singer and John B. Schmitt, said he has been advised not to talk to reporters about the ongoing allegations. More than two dozen women have publicly claimed that the “Fat Albert” creator drugged and raped them. The allegations span at least four decades, beginning in the 1960s.

Cosby sounded upbeat on the phone, but said he couldn’t address the specific allegations. He did, however, wax poetic when asked how his wife of more than a half-century, Camille Cosby, was holding up under the strain of the allegations.
“Love and the strength of womanhood,” he said. “Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And, you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love.”

Then Cosby cut off the conversation. “They don’t want me talking to the media,” he said.
