A major Disney theme park is removing a likeness of Bill Cosby after this week’s revelation the comedian provided drugs to women with whom he wished to have sex.
I resisted jumping on this bandwagon. People are innocent until proven guilty. Or are they?
Bill Cosby has been like Santa Claus to me, since I was a very young adult. Now we find out that Santa Claus was really a pervert. Cosby allegedly not only was a sexual predator, but he drugged young women in order to accomplish his advances. Over 30 women have gone public with their accusations.
Cosby is a warning to us all. Not all rapists jump out of the bushes at us. Some, like Cosby, are beloved icons and steal into our living rooms via TV and recordings. They lull us into a false sense of security. We trust our sons and daughters with these “trust-worthy” figures because they say the right things. They make us feel safe. Such was the case with Bill Cosby. .
