Janis Ian Says Bill Cosby Tried to Ban Her From TV @MannieHolmes_ Singer Janis Ian has added her voice to the many who are speaking out against Bill Cosby since numerous sexual assault allegations have come out against the comedic icon. In a Facebook post this week, Ian shared her own story about a personal experience with Cosby. “I have a personal stake,” she wrote, linking to the recent New York magazine cover story in which 35 Cosby accusers told their stories. “No, I was not sexually bothered by Bill Cosby. We met because he was curious about me.” She wrote that her story began when her hit “Society’s Child” dominated the charts when she was only 16 years old. She then made an appearance on variety show “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.” After months of being on the road and the controversy surrounding “Society’s Child,” Ian said she was exhausted at the show’s taping. “I needed to sleep. So I fell asleep in my chaperone’s lap. She was earth motherly, I was scared. It was good to rest,” she wrote. Shortly after the taping, Ian was informed that she had been blackballed from appearing on television. “A while later, my manager called me into her office,” she recounted. “‘What happened at the Smothers Brothers show?!’ I had no idea what she was talking about, and said so. ‘Well, no one else on TV is willing to have you on.'” According to Ian, her manager explained that it was Cosby who initiated the campaign against her. “Cosby, seeing me asleep in the chaperone’s lap, had made it his business to ‘warn’ other shows that I wasn’t ‘suitable family entertainment,’ was probably a lesbian, and shouldn’t be on television,” Ian went on. She later thanked Johnny Carson and his show producer for ignoring Cosby’s accusations. She also stated her opinion of the numerous allegations against Cosby and her thoughts on his wife, Camille. “But what an odd thing, that a black man who slept with so very many white women chose to take my possible lesbianism away from our one meeting, rather than the message I tried to get across with ‘Society’s Child.” She concluded, “How pathetic. How truly, truly pathetic.” -------------------------------------------------------- Cosby's Lawyer https://celebrity.yahoo.com/blogs/celeb-news/bill-cosby-s-lawyer-compares-his-alleged-rape-victims-to-a-lynch-mob-215322230.html/ Cosby 's Producer http://www.people.com/article/bill-cosby-producer-cosby-show-legacy/ |

she said it, it must be true
and what has that to do with rape allegations, I wonder,,, was it illegal back then to use ones influence in hollywood to allow or disallow actors/actresses? Chloe Goins a stripper claims Cosby gave her a drink at the Mansion during the Midsummer Night’s Party and the next thing she knew she was naked in a bedroom as Cosby sucked her toes and masturbated. Cosby’s lawyer, Marty Singer says on the date in question — August 9, 2008 — he has flight and telephone records that clearly place Cosby in New York City … 2,500 miles from the Mansion. And one more thing … the August 9th party was extensively covered by the media, and photos were published of the various celebs in attendance, including Paris Hilton, Matthew Perry, Jim Belushi, Jason Statham and Bill Maher. There are no pics or mention of Cosby. http://blackmediascoop.com/wasnt-l-cosby-accuser-liar/ and for those who feel a black site cant be trusted' look up the name in a search engine 'chloe goins discredited',,there will be many sites to choose from |

Well that's a great start. Now all he has to do is come up for a alibi for the other 40 plus rapes and he's home free. He tried suing one for what he perceives of breaking a contract ( talking about the deposition). But yet, he decides not to sue the 40 plus for defamation of character. I mean, after all those 40 plus woman destroyed his career, home life and reputation. Led to him being stripped of EVERYTHING he worked for. All accolades removed in disgrace. Ruined his ability to work also, millions in lost revenue due to cancelled shows and future contracts. Totally ruined him. They most certainly are guilty.. hands down. Why?.. why would such a vocal man.. outspoken and unafraid to take a stance his entire life suddenly become a mute. Suddenly speechless in defending himself, his family, his reputation. I'll tell you why.. he has absolutely no defense and the last thing in the world he wants to do is sue the 40 plus, because that will open every single case.. and the flood gates. And his lawyers are telling him.. whatever you do.. don't do that |

And his lawyers are telling him.. whatever you do.. don't do that maybe because he is nearly EIGHTY YEARS OLD..lol and what have they said that he can refute? the vast majority only recount meeting him and keeping him company CONSENTUALLY, and taking drugs or alcohol CONSENTUALLY, and passing out,,,,,,the rest is an attack via 'fill in the blanks' logic he admitted to that lifestyle, he admitted to trading drugs for sex,, so there is nothing to refute,, the ladies havent explicitly stated any memory of penetration or sex at all,,,,so what can he refute exactly? isnt it upon the accuser to prove their accusation and not the other way around? shouldnt they prove they were not in consentual situations instead of him having to prove they were? and facing dozens of younger accusers, who are believed at this point just because of how high the number is without a shred of proof...is more of a daunting task than I expect someone in the twilight of their lives to even attempt,, especially with such a public consensus of guilt without proof... |

What does age have to do with verbally defending yourself? Is there something wrong with his mind?. Has he recently gone senile? Short of that there is no valid reason. He didn't seem to have any difficulty talking in his one man shows. Or scheduling additional shows well into 2016. You reach a certain age and you lose the ability to talk? You may buy into that " Grandpa swinging on the porch bench wrapped in a blanket" thing. But I don't. |

He's 78 y/o and he is probably very ashamed that he has been exposed and what he is going through now. Think he will give some kind of apology to his victims and invite them out for a party.

Id be embarrassed to have taken part in that lifestyle too, his accusers will get sympathy so they don't have to be embarrassed and their history doesn't really inspire one to want to 'party' with them anymore,, |
