In the face of several rape and assault accusations, with the most recent one being from supermodel Beverly Johnson, the first black woman to grace the cover of Vogue Magazine, embattled Comedian, Bill Cosby told the New York Post’s Page Six that he expects the black media to stay objective as victims continue to come forward. In his own words, he said: “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, 77 also praised his wife of over 50 years, Camille, who has stood by him through thick and thin as several sexual assaults are being levied towards him. “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.”
According to media reports, he did not comment any further on the rape allegations but mentioned that his relationship with his wife has not been impacted with the controversies.
