It saddens me to see an old man who used to be quite treasured, now shamed for possibly good reasons.

I wonder so many things. Usually if there is smoke, there is fire.
He IS an educated man.

He ADMITTED that he put quaaludes (prescription muscle relaxers) into alcoholic beverages that he gave women who he then had sex with after they were too inebriated to protest. He admitted this years ago.

He shamed himself.

However, some people can separate fiction from reality. Dr. Huxtable was a great role-model. He was also a fictional character on a sit-com. Bill Cosby, the actor who played Dr. Huxtable, is an incredibly talented actor. He was also a sexual predator. I say was, because I'm going out on a limb here and assuming that he isn't capable of being a predator of any kind, anymore, and no woman in their right mind would let him buy them a drink, anymore.
