The spotlight is on comedian Damon Wayans who, while in a radio show interview this past Friday, September 4th-giving his opinion about the Bill Cosby scandal, had this to say-[quote]:
“Tell the truth, if I was him, I would divorce my wife (*wink-wink) give her all my money, and then I would go do a deposition. I’d light one of them three-hour cigars. I’d have me some wine, and maybe a Quaalude, and I would just go off, because I don’t believe he was raping.”
[end quote]
[quote]:
“I believe he was in relationships with all of them and then he’s like, ‘You know what? I’m 78. It don’t work like that no more. I can’t get it up for any of y’all. Bye, bitches,’ and then they’re like, ‘Oh, really? Rape!’ Oh, really? Rape. Forty years — listen, how big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years?”
[end quote]
Even after the radio show’s co-host Angela Yee reminded/pointed out to Wayans that some of the woman had come forward years ago, still, he had this to say:
[quote]:
“But if you listen to them talk, they go, ‘Well the first time.’ The first time?! “Bitch, how many times did it happen? Just listen to what they’re saying.”
[end quote]
[quote]:
“And some of them, really, is unrapeable. I look at them and go, ‘No, he don’t want that. Get outta here!’
[end quote]
Angela then agrees with the questions that many people have (about the women) ‘why were you alone with him?’ Damon answers:
[quote]:
Look, I understand fame. I’ve lived it. Women will throw themselves at you. They just want be in your presence. There’s some that innocently will come up there, but not 40-something women. They’re not that naive.”

You know what Bill Cosby did wrong? He start criticizing young black men. And then he lost ‘us.’ And so we’re not supporting him and they see that opening…so now-you know what: ‘Attack him. Kill him.’ But the dude from Seventh Heaven—his show’s still on. Woody Allen’s making shows for…and movies for…and aint nobody…hey. If it was my daughter…then I would’ve killed Bill Cosby. But at…just being…sitting back looking at it…I just don’t…I just don’t believe it.
