What an embarrassment

I doubt if could have pulled that off without Cosby's celebrity unless he looked like Brad Pitt or was as charming as Don Juan or socially connected as Casanova, a librarian by-the-way. Giacomo Casanova - Wikipedia

The malevolent and felonious thing about Bill Cosby is he drugged these women into nonconsensual sex in contrast to Batman (Adam West) who was legally over the top sexually active by almost anyone's yardstick.

There seem to be a number of men who are addicted to sex and have groupies who throw themselves at them often. Bob Crane was another one of these who might have crossed the wrong jealous boyfriend or suitor. Bob Crane - Wikipedia

It comes with the territory for successful entertainers, athletes, pols, and so on.

What puzzles me is why Cosby drugged those women. He had to have had many, many offers. It must have been a fetish with him to drug them.

It is wrong to knock somebody out to have sex with them no matter who you are, and I think that is sick and perverted and abnormal as hell.

But then there are women who say things about sexual advances to get someone's money. And that has happened a lot recently in my opinion.

It is hard to figure out what is happening sometimes but I think Bill Cosby is guilty.
What did Rock Hudson do?

The studio staged his marriage to Phyllis Gates. He was a big dude, 6'5", unusual for a Hollywood actor. (Ever been to Universal Studios Lot? They will show you the 3/4 size doorways where they place leading men so they look larger. In the old days the usually short leading men stood on boxes to kiss the leading ladies.) Anyway, Rock was a buddy to Jim Nabors and Roman Gabriel.

A couple of gay guys in Huntington Beach staged a fake marriage of Rock Hudson to Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors) so that Rock Hudson became Rock Pyle.

Gay people are fine.. Rock Hudson and Jim Nabors did nothing wrong. They lived in a time that it was socially awkward to be gay or Lesbian. Bill Cosby is the perp. Totally different scenarios. He is a rapist.

Exactly.


Completely ridiculous to even try to compare.

If he was an ordinary "off the street" pervert the outcome would have been very different.
I was discussing the Bill Cosby case with a friend this weekend. We both agree that Mrs. Cosby must have known about the other women -- maybe not all of the details, but she knew that he stepped out on her numerous times during their 50 year marriage. But she chose to look the other way as being the wife of Bill Cosby brought her a very nice life...but now maybe not so much. He may be tied up in litigation for years.

I agree. No amount of money would make me stay with a guy who WOULD DRUG someone to have sex with them. THAT IS WORSE than philandering......SICK.
