Her tweet set off a firestorm. Actress and Howard University college dean Phylicia Rashad is facing calls to be fired out the cannon for her postings defending a convicted sexual predator.

As the legally blind and washed up entertainer Bill Cosby was released from the iron college after being convicted of sexual assault on a Temple University women's coach, his TV wife took to social media to praise the decision to let him out.

Cosby was let go after a state technicality. The state didn't give him due process and they cannot charge him again despite evidence of his using tools to engage in sexual abuse.

Cosby made a deal with the victim and paid her out reasonably well. The state told him that he couldn't face criminal charges now that the lawsuit was settled. A state prosecutor dismissed it and went ahead with criminally charging him. Over 60 women came forth admitting Cosby had some form of sexual abuse against them.

Cosby on his part denied the allegations. He claims he was a victim of a witch hunt and believes it was a tactic to set up a successful Black man.

The damage is done. The Cosby Show, Fat Albert, Little Bill, iSpy, The Bill Cosby Show, all his other television shows, his comedy routines, his music albums, his comedy albums and promotionals were cancelled.

Cosby pretty much went from America's TV dad to the world's most hated celebrity.

Historically Black Universities are calling for the removal of Phylicia Rashad after she made praise to Cosby and denounced the victims of the sexual abuse.

She is the dean of fine arts at Howard University. 

"Finally!!! A terrible wrong is being righted -- a miscarriage of justice is corrected."

She posted it on social media before scrubbing it. It was considered insensitive to survivors of sexual abuse and it was tone deaf to the why the state decided to let him go. He was convicted. The state couldn't run anymore time on the 85-year old washed up entertainer.

Rashad said the quiet part out loud. She and the sexual predator are lifelong friends.

The sexual predator is not exonerated.

Once the backlash and the calls for a cannon firing came, Rashad responded with a half-hearted apology.

"This week, I tweeted a statement that caused so much hurt in so many people - both broadly and inside the [Howard University] community. I offer my most sincere apology. I have since removed that upsetting tweet. I am sorry. I intend to earn your trust and your forgiveness. Personally I know from friends and family that such abuse has lifelong residual effects. My heartfelt wish is for healing. My statements were in no way directed towards survivors of sexual assault."

Rashad added, "I vehemently oppose sexual violence, find no excuse for such behavior and I know that Howard University has a zero-tolerance policy towards interpersonal violence."

Howard also wrote that Rashad's remarks were dumb as fuck. They said that she "lacked sensitivity towards survivors of sexual assault," and that her opinions do not reflect the university policies.

Rashad said on Friday that she will "engage in active listening and participate in trainings to not only reinforce University protocol and conduct, but also to learn how I can become a stronger ally to sexual assault survivors and everyone who has suffered at the hands of an abuser."

"Thank you for voicing your concerns, for speaking your truth and for holding leaders accountable for our actions and words," Rashad added.
