Alan Thicke, Kirk Cameron, Joanna Kerns, Tracey Gold, Jeremy Miller, Ashley Johnson, and Leonardo DiCaprio were the stars of Growing Pains.
Alan Thicke, thank you for the years of laughs and charm. You will be missed.

What's the deal with white people wearing racially offensive attire?
Two incidents that happened over the weekend has social media lit up. You know some White people believe it's funny to dress up in attire to represent a theme. It's pretty damn offensive when White people dress up in attire disrespecting Latinos, Muslims, Native Americans and Black people.
Then of course they play the hapless victim when they're called out for their subvert racism.
University of Central Arkansas had to put a student in the freezer after he posted on social media himself in blackface. He was mocking Bill Cosby, the disgrace media mogul who is accused of raping numerous women. He's facing a trail in one case.
A white University of Central Arkansas student has been expelled — and his fraternity chapter is now suspended — after he posted a photo on Instagram showing himself in blackface, apparently portraying Cosby.
The student, sophomore Brock Denton, said online he is “scared for my life” after facing death threats for the controversial costume.
Denton privately posted a photo on his Instagram page last week showing him in blackface and a Cosby-style sweater, standing with two other white men.
He wrote with the photo, “It was a bold night.”
Denton’s frat, Sigma Tau Gamma, held its Halloween party on Friday, according to The Echo student newspaper.
The school immediately cracked down, expelling Denton and suspending the campus' Sigma Tau Gamma chapter, pending an investigation into the post.
After his icing, Denton begged for forgiveness in a lengthy Instagram post filled with syntax errors.
“I have been sent death threats, threats to burn my house down. I am scared for my life,” he wrote.
“I am the farthest thing from discrimination (sic), as a matter of fact I fight for equality everyday, I’ve been writing a book for the past two years on what it really means to be a good person.”
He also blamed social media for creating a “corrupted society in regard to heated controversial topics such as this.”
“Please except my apology not because of me but because of the sake of this great nation (sic),” Denton wrote.
The washed up media personality Bill Cosby is on trial for sexual assault. He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Andrea Constand pressed charges against him and he is facing a minimum of ten in the iron college. He would have to register as a sexual offender for LIFE.
Constand and 57 other women accused the media mogul of drugging their drinks and inappropriately touching them. Some his accusers claimed that he would rape them after they shared a wine together.
Cosby admitted that he put quaaludes in their food and drinks. He denies he rape these women.
Now here's a kicker. Cosby is now "legally blind" and he won't be able to recognize his accusers.
This tactic will likely backfire.
Cosby doesn't want to face his accusers. He often placed the responsibility of legal matters to his high powered attorneys.
Lou Dobbs intentional shares a woman's phone number. He was mad she accused Donald Trump of inappropriately touching her while on a plane.
Fox Business Network's Lou Dobbs is under fire for taking to social media to denounce a Trump accuser. He would intentionally tweet a woman's phone number and address to his nearly 1 million followers on Twitter.
Jessica Leeds is one of the numerous women who accused Republican nominee Donald Trump of inappropriate behavior towards them. She came out with the accusation of Trump touching her under her skirt and dipping into her breasts.
Dobbs, Sean "Softball" Hannity and old fart Rush Limbaugh are bitching about the timing of these incidents. They claim that the junk food media ignores the accusers of Bill Clinton.
Softball gave Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Kathy Shelton and Juanita Broaddrick an opportunity to accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault. They blame Hillary Clinton for allowing him to act out.
Dobbs who is a Trump supporter like the softball. Dobbs is fixated on building walls to keep Mexicans out of the country. He quickly jumped on the Trump train during the primaries.
Dobbs got a tip from I am guessing alt-right troll Charles Johnson.
Johnson the founder of GotNews is willing to endanger the lives of people he deem "liberal plants".
Dobbs got tipped by a Trump supporter and he went on to posting this shit online.
Jessica Leeds feared for her life after she publicly accused Republican nominee Donald Trump of sexual harassment.
The post claimed that Leeds’s phone number matched one listed for the Clinton Foundation in WikiLeaks releases, though only five of the 10 digits were the same, reported Business Insider, and three of those overlapping numbers included an area code for New York.
Leeds, 74, was one of two women who accused Donald Trump of groping and kissing them without permission in a story published in the New York Times this week. After their accusations hit the Internet, several more women stepped forward to report similar behavior, including a People magazine reporter who wrote in an essay in the publication that Trump pinned her against the wall during a 2005 interview at his Florida estate, "forcing his tongue down my throat."
Trump has since denied all the accusations.
Gloria Allred has stepped into the picture. She unrevealed over eight more people involved making it a total of 12 so far.
The folks of Athens, Ohio once thanked now disgraced Fox News CEO Roger Ailes for his huge contributions to Ohio University. It's revealed that Ailes was accused of sexually harassing female employees. Former anchors Gretchen Carlson and Andrea Tantaros filed a federal lawsuit against Ailes.
Ailes on his part denies any involvement in any wrongdoing. But the fallout is big especially at his alma mater. His old school decided to end its relationship with him.
Ohio University has now decided that Ailes isn't the perfect role model for its students. They have formally returned the $500,000 donation and removed his name from the newsroom he put millions of dollars in.
OU President Roderick McDavis announced the action Monday during a Faculty Senate meeting, the student newspaper The Post reported. The letters of Ailes' name were taken down before the meeting ended, and a wooden board was placed over the space soon after, the newspaper reported.
"The distraction from the teaching of the Scripps College of Communication has weighed heavily on my mind as I deliberated over the sustained effect on our university community should we continue to have our newsroom named for Mr. Ailes," McDavis said, according to the report. "Given the allegations against Mr. Ailes, the circumstances surrounding his departure from Fox News, I've decided to return his gift and remove his name."
"Ohio University ignited my interest in broadcasting, which became my lifetime career," Ailes said in 2007.
Tom Hodson, the director and general manager of WOUB, said in an email to The Post that WOUB is "pleased" with McDavis' decision.
Robert Stewart, director of E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, said in an email to The Post he was "glad (the journalism school) can finally move on."
"I applaud President McDavis' decision," Stewart said in an email. "The controversy has helped shine a spotlight on the ongoing problem of sexual harassment in the workplace, but it's a relief to have the name and plaque removed."
21st Century Fox and News Corp paid out Gretchen nearly $20 million in damages.
Greta Van Susteren abruptly was fired out the cannon after spending over 15 years with the network.
Andrea Tantaros once said that she would try a food stamp diet. Anyway, Tantaros, Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly accused ex-Fox News CEO Roger Ailes of repeated sexual harassment.
Andrea Tantaros, the former host of The Five and Outnumbered was sacked recently. She decides to aid her former colleague Gretchen Carlson in the lawsuit against now ex-Fox News chief Roger Ailes.
Tantaros complained about Ailes in 2014-15 but these requests were ignored by Bill Shine.
Shine is the interim president of Fox News for the time being. James and Lachlan Murdoch, co-chairs of News Corp are working on cleaning house. That means the top to bottom, the cannon will be loaded with others.
This bombshell comes a day after Gabriel Sherman released damning information about Ailes using a "black ops" team to denounce his critics and built narratives against political enemies (i.e. President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton).
Ailes used the budget to hire his "yes men" to do dirt digging on Sherman, Gawker and former employees who were moles on the inside.
Ailes for the most part denied ever sexually harassing his employees. Ailes' attorney Susan Estrich declined comment on the latest scandal.
Mind you Estrich was once a political consultant for failed Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis.
Estrich was once a feminist who stood on the forefront of women being harassed in the workplace. It seems like she's change locations. Gloria Allred is now stepping into the Roger Ailes controversy by denouncing Estrich and asking for other women to come forward. Women who worked for him during his tenure at Fox News and CNBC.
Patti Ann Browne, Juliet Huddy, Linda Vester, E.D. Hill, Laurie Dhue, Jane Skinner, Alexis Glick, and numerous others haven't responded yet. I bet you money, they've been harassed by Ailes.
Ailes in his pjs.
Ailes was responsible for Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush winning their presidential elections. He helped Rudy Giuliani get his mayoral spot in New York City. He managed to get Mike Douglas his show, Rush Limbaugh his show, helped build CNBC and created Fox News.
Fox News is the most powerful and most controversial in cable news.
Now pressure is on for Ohio University to remove Ailes from their media facility. Ailes graduated from the school in the 1960s.
Oh by the way, Bill Cosby accusers came to 60. Two more women spoke out against Cosby.
He is currently on trial for an incident that occurred in 2005. He placed quaaludes in Temple University accuser Andrea Constand's food and molested her while she was unconscious.
The trial is set to begin and if found guilty, Cosby could spent the rest of his LIFE in the iron college.
He will have to register in Offender U for the rest of his life.
Fox News chief Roger Ailes isn't having a good day. Rupert Murdoch gave Ailes two opinions, get fired out the cannon or quit the job.
Sources report that 21th Century Fox Entertainment and Fox News CEO Roger Ailes is about to be fired out the cannon.
Fox News's brain and mastermind behind the most successful cable news channel is under fire for sexual harassment. His reckoning came from Gretchen Carlson. The former anchor filed a federal lawsuit against him and he's trying to get it dismissed.
He claims that she's bitter. But in reality, he's bitter. His past is coming back to haunt him.
James and Lachlan Murdoch are the sons and investors of News Corp, the international mass media company founded by their father Rupert Murdoch.
Gretchen Carlson admits that Fox News is GOP propaganda.
Murdoch is very concerned about the allegations. Now it's reported that all media personalities will be interviewed and recorded for comments said by Ailes.
Gretchen found an ally in five other women. But what got me rocked out of my seat is the one woman I would never expect aid Gretchen in her fight against Ailes.
I was not expecting this!
Megyn Kelly told investigators that Ailes sexually harassed her. This bombshell also falls in suit of the feud between Kelly and Donald Trump. When Trump was berating Kelly during the primaries, Ailes and his acolytes weren't helping her out.
She took a few weeks off after the dustup. Trump and Kelly sort of settled their feud.
Megyn Kelly gets a shout out for taking down the biggest asshole in the junk food media that's not Donald Trump.
Many media figures have somewhat defended him. But the evidence is there and now those pinheads on the couch Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade, and Ainsley Earhardt got to be retrained.
Tucker Carlson, Greg Gutfeld, Chris Wallace, Bret Baier, Keith Ablow, Geraldo Rivera, Martha MacCallum, Bill Hemmer, Shepard Smith, Jon Scott, Jenna Lee, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Neil Cavuto, and Greta Van Susteren have to report to investigators and be retained on their behavior in the workplace.
I can say that Bill O'Reilly, Shepard Smith, Softball Hannity, Brian Kilmeade, Steve Doocy, and Greg Gutfeld better start looking over their shoulder.
O'Reilly, Smith, Kilmeade and Doocy were accused by women and men of sexual harassment.
No word of any comments from Gretchen Carlson or Roger Ailes. No comment from Fox News or the News Corp folks.
Stay tuned to the story. Biggest media story of the year.
Three California women stop a perv from date raping a potential victim.
World News Today gives a special shout out to the three woman who prevent a criminal act from occurring this weekend. They were dining at a Santa Monica restaurant saw a man try to slip a roofie in a woman's drink.
They calmly told the woman that the man was trying to give you a taint and alerted the law.
The law quickly arrested this asshole and the women earned the respect of rape victims worldwide.
The suspect Michael Hsu was arrested. The 24-year old man is innocent until proven guilty. The suspect is being held on a $1 million get out of jail free card. He could be facing LIFE in the iron college if found guilty.
As Sonia Ulrich writes on Facebook, she and her friends Monica Kenyon and Marla Saltzer were enjoying happy hour at FIG restaurant when Kenyon saw the guy pull out a small black vial, hide it under his cell phone, and put something in his female companion's wine while she was in the restroom. "After a few 'Oh god. What do we do's,'" writes Ulrich, she went to the restroom and informed the woman. "Oh my god," the woman said, adding that "he's one of my best friends." As she explained, they worked together and had known each other for a year and a half.
Man sitting in the Santa Monica lockup.
The woman returned to her table as Ulrich's pal Marla notified the manager, which led to a server walking over and the woman ordering sparkling water. "Marla noticed him several times chinking his glass to hers to get her to drink [the wine]," per Ulrich. "She played it cool." With the pair about to leave, Santa Monica PD showed up and arrested Hsu, on charges involving rape and drugging to commit rape, the Huffington Post reports. Restaurant video backed Ulrich's accusation, ABC News reports, and other women dining at FIG walked over to share their own horror stories. "It happened to my roommate," said one, while another said that "it happened to my sister." As one woman put it, "Some heroes don't wear capes. Thank you. It happened to me. Thank you."
Let's be clear, rape is rape. There's nothing funny about it.
Cosby being helped by his bodyguards. The troubled entertainer will have to testify in court after one of his accusers press charges on him. He admits to slipping the drinks but he denies raping the women.
If you haven't heard the news, that famed comedian Bill Cosby will have a day in court. He will face the judge, the jury and the prosecutor who is willing to put him in the iron college for the rest of his life.
Of course, Cosby is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Well, last year Bill Cosby went from A-list to washed up in a matter of months. He was accused by over 4 dozen women of having slipping quaaludes into their drinks and having his way with them.
One of the accusers decided the time is now. Cosby who admitted to having numerous affairs denies raping the victim.
The victim was a former employee at Temple University, Cosby's old alma mater.
Cosby, 78 was present for the preliminary hearing in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania discussing the charges with his defense team.
The victim named Andrea Constand, accused Cosby of slipping her something in her wine and then they would have sex. She would wake up feeling sick and not remembering a thing.
Career is over. From A-list to washed up in a matter of months.
Cosby tried to hide the assault by paying for Constand's daughter's education. Cosby had also allegedly slept with a 17 year old model in 1976.
If found guilty of this charge, he could be facing up to 30 years in the iron college and will have to register as a TIER III sexual offender for the rest of his life.
His career is all but ruined. The Cosby Show, Fat Albert, Cosby, Little Bill, iSpy, The Bill Cosby Show, A Different World, his music and comedy albums, his movies like Ghost Dad are scrapped from every network and cable channel.
His management company fired him out the cannon. Now Cosby is certain to lose his wife Camille and his family's support if more damning evidence comes forth.
Cosby was the TV Dad who told Black men to pull up their pants and raise them children. I guess he's one to talk about Black men!
Twitter puts an end to the trolling. Azealia Banks popped off one too many times and now she'll pay for it.
The Queen of Mean got blocked on social media after making a racially homophobic set of posts.
Azealia Banks, the rapper and fashion model once again creates a shitstorm and it's finally taken a toll with the folks over at Twitter. Banks engaged in a feud with former One Direction star Zayn Malik.
Banks also lost her performance gig. She is banned from performing in the United Kingdom.
Banks went in the wrong direction on Tuesday when she took offense to some of Malik's tweets, which she assumed were aimed at her. She responded with inflammatory tweets about the former One Direction member which included racial and gay slurs.
Then Banks decided to aim at a Disney actress. 14-year-old Disney Skai Jackson wasn't spared from the word vomit that rapper posted on social media. This one created a ton of buzz. Banks went after the young star in a series of insulting tweets after Jackson tweeted, "Azealia Banks needs to simmer down a little."
The Guardian reports that Banks, who rose to fame after the release of her 2012 debut single 212, and recently caused a stir when she publicly endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, has become well known for her inflammatory and unfiltered Twitter presence.
She has feuded on social media with Rita Ora and Lily Allen, and used homophobic slurs in one particularly memorable spat with blogger Perez Hilton.
In one instance, she tweeted in a derogatory fashion about the more than three dozen women who have come forward over the last year or so with accusations of sexual assault against Bill Cosby.
In September 2015 she allegedly attacked a man who blocked her path when she was trying to disembark a flight in Los Angeles, and used another homophobic slur against a flight attendant who tried to step in.
Whoopi Goldberg and Raven-Symone are considering an exit from daytime agitation program The View.
The famed entertainer and moderator of ABC's The View is considering an exit from the show.
She may not be the only leaving as well. The former Cosby kid, Raven-Symone could be on her way out too.
Mediaite reports that ABC big wigs are hoping that Whoopi Goldberg and Raven-Symone (Pearlman) may stick around. Contract negotiations are being worked out and they are having some ice melt throughout the cold tension building up there.
Whoopi is asking for a little more pocket change in order to stay. ABC big wigs might consider the option.
Whoopi has been the host and chief moderator of the hit daytime show. It's struggling against Julie Chen, Melissa Gilbert and Sharon Osbourne's CBS daytime show The Talk.
Whoopi along with Raven-Symone, Paula Faris, Joy Behar, and Candace Cameron-Bure have hosted the show throughout the 2015-16 season.
If Whoopi bounces from the show, who are they planning on bring onto the program. I mean it's difficult to replace a fixture that's hosted the seat since 2007. You know the 2005-07 season was one of The Views most controversial.
Former hosts Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck have often sparred on the show and it generated huge ratings. O'Donnell who engaged in a feud with Donald Trump was being trashed by Fox News.
Hasselbeck who appeared on Fox programs was defending rhetoric from that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Trump. It led a major fallout between the two and Whoopi had to come in and save the show.
Hasselbeck joined Fox News in 2012 and left late last year. ABC might consider rehiring the controversial agitator back to the seats. At least she won't be the odd woman out. Co-host Candace Cameron-Bure and guest host Melissa Joan Hart are conservative and they've often clashed with the women on issues.
Raven-Symone is a former child star who joined The View in spring 2015. She formally took on the role as pop culture agitator in the fall. She cause a bit of controversy when she defended the McKinley, Texas cop who slammed a girl on the ground. She defended the South Carolina sheriff's deputy who flipped a girl out of her seat. She said she wouldn't hire any "Black sounding" names to her companies. She said that people comparing First Lady Michelle Obama to an ape or transexual is perfect fine.
There were calls to have Raven-Symone fired out the cannon. ABC said that they're willing to keep her on if she chooses to stay.
Actor Nate Parker directs and produces a movie based on the life of rebellion leader Nat Turner. The Birth of A Nation is coming to theaters and it's already getting praise. Given the situation surrounding the Oscars and the lack of diversity in the entertainment industry, many see this movie as a perfect timing.
The movie was not inspired by the KKK-theme movie produced by D.W. Griffith.
Parker who plays the role of slave-turned Baptist leader Nat Turner. Turner lead a revolt across Virginia killing White slave owners and led many slaves to the North. The Southampton revolt (known as the Nat Turner Rebellion) in August 1831. Led by Nat Turner, rebel slaves killed anywhere from 55 to 65 people, the highest number of fatalities caused by any slave uprising in the Southern United States. The rebellion was put down within a few days, but Turner survived in hiding for more than two months afterwards. The rebellion was effectively suppressed at Belmont Plantation on the morning of August 23, 1831.
There was widespread fear in the aftermath of the rebellion, and White militias organized in retaliation against the slaves. The state executed 56 slaves accused of being part of the rebellion. In the frenzy, many non-participant slaves were punished. At least 100 African Americans, and possibly up to 200, were murdered by militias and mobs in the area. Across the South, state legislatures passed new laws prohibiting education of slaves and free black people, restricting rights of assembly and other civil rights for free black people, and requiring white ministers to be present at all worship services.
Turner eluded capture by hiding in the woods until October 30, when he was discovered by a farmer named Benjamin Phipps, where he was hiding in a hole covered with fence rails. While awaiting his trial, Turner confessed his knowledge of the rebellion to attorney Thomas Ruffin Gray.
Nate Parker plays the role of Nat Turner, the rebellion leader of the Southampton massacre.
On November 5, 1831, he was tried for "conspiring to rebel and making insurrection", convicted and sentenced to death. Turner was hanged on November 11 in Jerusalem, Virginia. His body was flayed, beheaded and quartered. Turner received no formal burial; his headless remains were either buried unmarked or kept for scientific use. His skull is said to have passed through many hands, last being reported in the collection of a planned civil rights museum for Gary, Indiana, despite calls for its burial.
In the aftermath of the insurrection there were 45 slaves, including Turner, and five free blacks tried for insurrection and related crimes in Southampton. Of the 45 slaves tried, 15 were acquitted. Of the 30 convicted, 18 were hanged, while 12 were sold out of state. Of the five free blacks tried for participation in the insurrection, one was hanged, while the others were acquitted.
Soon after Turner's execution, Thomas Ruffin Gray took it upon himself to publish The Confessions of Nat Turner, derived partly from research done while Turner was in hiding and partly from jailhouse conversations with Turner before trial. This work is considered the primary historical document regarding Nat Turner.
The film The Birth of a Nation will be released to select theaters. The 2016 film uses the same title as "the title of D.W. Griffith's 1915 KKK propaganda film in a very purposeful way", said The Hollywood Reporter. Nate Parker said his film had the same title "ironically, but very much by design".
It's gotten praise for the graphic and historical take on Turner's rebellion. It is written, produced, and directed by Nate Parker, who also stars as Nat Turner. Parker wrote the screenplay and petitioned financiers to invest in the film. It ultimately had a $10 million production budget and was filmed in the U.S. state of Georgia in May 2015. Along with Parker, the film features Armie Hammer, Aja Naomi King, Jackie Earle Haley, Penelope Ann Miller, and Gabrielle Union.
The film premiered in competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2016. Fox Searchlight Pictures bought worldwide rights to the film in a $17.5 million deal, the largest deal at the film festival to date.
Keisha Knight Pulliam engaged to reality television star.
Keisha Knight Pulliam hasn't spoken on her former mentor's situation since he's been indicted on sexual assault charges. She has spoken on her relationship with a B-list sports celebturd.
Ed Harwell is the new fling in the former Cosby kid's life. She announced that she's getting hitched to the former NFL linebacker. There's also a report that Harwell planted a seed in her.
Knight-Pulliam has been known for being the adorable Rudy Huxtable on The Cosby Show. She played the role throughout the season and made cameo appearances in the spin-off A Different World.
She was introduced to "Cousin Oliver" or uh I meant "Cousin Olivia" in the later seasons. Raven-Symone, stole the spotlight from Pulliam.
Pulliam hasn't really been in the A-game for a minute. But she's been pretty active. She attended college and done theater. She happened to move to Atlanta to seek fortune and fame.
Sealed with a kiss, Keisha Knight Pulliam reveals on social media she's engaged to Ed Harwell.
Harwell gave up the game to join the reality television industry. He was married to Atlanta's diva Lisa Wu. Harwell had married Wu in the early. They separated for a time and reconciled. I bet he was so quick to sign the divorce papers when he hooked up with Knight Pulliam.
The cast of The Cosby Show has remained mum on their old friend. Phylicia Rashad, Sabrina Le Beauf, Lisa Bonet, Malcolm-Jamar Warner, Tempestt Bledsoe and Keshia Knight-Pulliam were the main cast on the hit sitcom. It survived eight seasons and went through 202 episodes.
Some of the most notable roles post Cosby show was Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail and The Celebrity Apprentice.
The Cos mugshot heading to TMZ and The Smoking Gun.
The entertainer appeared in court today with cameras in tow. The 78-year old Bill Cosby was walking with a cane. He almost tripped trying to enter the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania court to be arraigned on sexual assault charges.
He posted a $1 million get out of jail free card. He also relinquished his passport.
Cosby faces a some serious charges. This has to be the biggest celebrity scandal of 2015. To see America's Dad take this nosedive is shocking. But I'm not too surprised.
He was a powerful voice in the entertainment industry. He created the hit series The Cosby Show. He inspired children with Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids. He entertained us with his comedy acts.
The conservative Craigslist once lauded Cosby's in your face reactions towards Black America. See what happens now when the conservative agitator splashes the New York Daily News hard hitting front cover.
The victim Andrea Constand decided to publicly come forth acknowledging she was a victim of a 2004 assault. The incident happened when the Temple basketball coach went to his home outside of Philadelphia.
She claimed that he gave her some alcohol with a "herbal additive". She would pass out.
No sense of knowing what's going on, she realized that Cosby was fingering her privates and groping her. She was in a paralyzed state. The two settled out of court with a disclosed amount. But the charges never went forth until now.
Andrea was one of the first women to publicly accuse the comedian of sexual misconduct. At the time, the Montgomery County district attorney declined to pursue charges. Constand later sued Cosby and they settled out of court for undisclosed terms in 2006.
Cosby is innocent until proven guilty. These charges are felonies. They can carry 2 to 15 years in the iron college. The severity of the offense could land a TIER III label on the entertainer.
The nation of Cosby is crumbling. And it seems like the leader of this country is being taken to trial.
A prosecutor in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania served Bill Cosby. The allegations of sexual assault have finally brought him a court date. This plan announced today comes as a major blow to Cosby. As if he didn't need anymore bad news.
The entertainer's reputation took a nosedive after 50 women came forth saying that Cosby's drugged them and sexually assaulted them.
The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office and the Cheltenham Township Police have scheduled a news presser to discuss the charges being handed to Cosby.
This case deals with the 2004 allegations. The charge is aggravated indecent assault. This charge could carry up to 15 years in the iron college with TIER III label if convicted. Cosby denies any fault to what happened. Cosby is likely to have his passport seized in case he decides to flee authorities.
Cosby is innocent until proven guilty. He is expected to head to Pennsylvania to post bail and have a court hearing.
Coming out of hiding, Bill Cosby decides to hand ring the accusers who went to the junk food media.
Cosby who admits to drugging women and having sex with them. He says that the sex was consensual. Cosby decides to save what's left of his falling career as America's "favorite dad".
Cosby decides to sue Tamera Green, Therese Serignese, Linda Traitz, Louisa Moritz, Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarshis and Angela Leslie.
Lawyer Monique Pressley says the women published false statements about the 78-year old entertainer. The suit says that the women made "malicious, opportunistic and false and defamatory accusations of sexual misconduct against him." His attorneys claim that these women "knowingly published false statements and accusations."
Cosby decides to fight back against the accusers. There's about 50 accusers.
The suit was filed in response to a defamation lawsuit brought against him by the accusers.
Gloria Allred represents a majority of Cosby's accusers. She was once a friend of the Cos.
Actress/model Janice Dickinson also knocked Cosby in a lawsuit. She believes he took advantage of her. She also broke her silence on the numerous issues Cosby threw towards her.
These accusations spanned throughout 30 years. Many of the accusers are pass the window of pressing charges.
What these accusers want is for Bill Cosby's legacy as the "moral figure" to go down in flames.
What they want is for Camille to understand that her husband was running the streets.
Cosby survived many tragedies in his time as entertainer. The death of his only son Ennis and the extortion attempt from another accuser happened when the heat wasn't on him. Ennis was murdered on California's busiest bypass Interstate 405 in 1997. Cosby was accused by Autumn Jackson. Jackson claimed Cosby was her father. Cosby had an affair with Shawn Upshaw and it may have produced a daughter. Jackson was sentenced to time in the iron college for extortion.
In 2015, all the networks that had Cosby-related shows were pulled. MTV networks (Nickelodeon, TVLand, Nick, Jr./Nick@Nite), TV One, BET, BounceTV, Ion, and others pulled the plug on the shows.
A Different World is the only Cosby themed show still on for the time being. The episodes featuring Cosby were pulled from lineup. That would be episodes in Season One with Lisa Bonet and Marissa Tomei.
Cosby was stripped of his honorary degrees. He lost his statues in his honor at HBUs. Drexel, Temple, U-Mass, Wilberforce, Central State, Clark Atlanta, Spellman, Morehouse, Howard and Florida A&M put the brakes Cosby's donations and pulled his name from the campus.
Cosby is married. He has five children and three grandchildren. His only son was murdered. Cosby is an actor, comedian, movie producer, author,
Calls for a cannon fire plague entertainer Raven-Symone.
One too many slips now has the former child star facing a backlash.
Raven-Symone (Pearman) started co-hosting The View in April. She was formally introduced to the program during the Fall season. Now six months in, many fans of the daytime talk show are calling for her removal.
In the wake of Officer Slam, the entertainer said the cop went out of line when did his take down of the teen. However, she slammed the teen for not listening to the cop.
She basically said that the teen should have put her damn phone up.
Officer Slam (formerly known as Ben Fields) was fired out the cannon last week.
I've heard a handful of students weren't happy about his cannon fire. The conservative agitators were promoting the counter-protest. Some students walked out of class in support of the now former South Carolina deputy for the Richland County sheriff's department.
There's a petition calling for ABC to fire the entertainer out the cannon. So far they see the entertainer as a goldmine. They consider her the Black version of Rosie O'Donnell.
On Change.org, there's a petition calling for a cannon fire. So far over 135,000 people signed on to the petition. I am guessing that Raven-Symone signed it too as a middle finger to those who want to throw "political correctness" around.
Che Scott-Heron, the U.K. woman who started the petition, wrote on the petition's website that Raven's statements only hurt the black community.
"African Americans and black people around the diaspora need a voice representative of their views and not a voice representative of what white people want us to say." Heron wrote. "We need strong black role models in prominent positions on television and Raven-Symoné cannot provide that. That is why I ask that we petition to remove her from 'The View.'"
As the daytime talk show enters its 19th season, ratings are down. CBS daytime's The Talk enters its 6th season within striking distance of The View. The second quarter ratings bested The View.
By the way, the third worst person to host a cable news show got a petition calling for his cannon fire. Don Lemon also faced a backlash after he got a kick out watching Officer Slam flipping the teen.
Some nobody wrote a book highly critical of Black women. The writer assuming its a pen name wrote this book called "I Hate Black Women".
Now there's a backlash against the writer and the companies that promote this.
The writer T.C. Writer (ahem) wrote this provocative, controversial and certainly much talked about book. This Writer person is an American author who writes about the elephant in the room that everyone pretends is not there. "The goal is to ruffle a few bird feathers because angry people seek change, and complacent people don't."
T.C. Writer claims that she rapidly learned that your work will never please everyone. Balancing daily hate mail with messages from those hailing her as a maverick who isn't scared to speak the truth, Writer is on a lifelong mission to help fellow African American women better themselves. But her tools are not conventional, including 'I Hate Black Women', Writer's latest book. Firm in her belief that the African American audience respond better to hate than love, Writer's provocative manifesto untangles how black women often make life difficult for themselves, fostering a culture and reputation that ultimately finds them discriminated on by the rest of society.
This Writer said that Black women need to dial back their attitudes and fall in line with the system.
Basically this writer claims that the Black woman must act right in the presence of the Black man and White people.
Yeah, Black women are discriminated against. Ask Raven Symone, she said she wouldn't hire any women with a Black sounding name.
Raven-Symone is an example of Black women who attack their own.
Hear the nonsense from that annoying conservative agitator. The worst cable news host to ever have a program constantly says that First Lady Michelle Obama is a downright mean person. When she said that "for the first time" she was proud of her country, that annoying conservative agitator says that Mrs. Obama is "an angry Black woman".
Matter of fact, even that old fart Limbaugh said that "Moo Chelle" is the type of women Alex Rodriguez refuse to date.
How about when the Madame Tussauds decided to reveal the Nicki Minaj figure. They designed the wax figure to a likeness of her Anaconda music video. The famous pose by the entertainer was being vandalized by horny jerks and sexual perverts.
In her mind, the Black woman are destructive to America.
She calls upon the American people to address this. If we refuse to address it, we're going to be considered complacent.
Well I guess I am complacent. I am not down with this garbage. I am not going to allow this hateful book spread the seeds of distrust, division and diversion about Black women.
Here's what you're going to hear from concern trolls. Did you read the book?
Many in the Black community are very reactionary. We are willing to take action against something without reading it. Before I sign off the Change.org petition to have it removed from Amazon's website, I want to know what I'm dealing with.
Of course, the difficult job of looking for this book will be the challenge.
Over 50 women came forward. Cosby still denies sexually assault them.
So over 50 women accused the entertainer of sexual misconduct.
There was an explosive interview on Dateline. There were over 27 women who sat with Kate Snow to tell the nation that Dr. William H. Cosby, Jr. is a nasty pervert.
Bill Cosby, the famous comedian and America's day seen his legacy collapse before his eyes.
The guy who told Black men to pull his pants up is caught with his pants down. And now he's facing an embarrassing moment in which all the women who idolized him now scorning him.
He would groom actresses and model at his private home. He would engage in conversation with the women and give them a drink. The drink would have a funny taste in it. After eight hours, you're in his bedroom with no clothes and a satisfied comedian.
When you threaten to tell the law on him, he would cut a $$$$$$$$ check.
I mean he's worth $430 million. From his sitcoms, movies, animations, books, endorsements, and comedy albums, he made millions.
A defamation lawsuit brought against Bill Cosby by three women who say he sexually abused them decades ago can move forward, a federal judge in Massachusetts ruled Friday, delivering a legal blow to the comedian as he attempts to defend himself against accusations of sexual assault by dozens of women.
Over a two dozen women went to NBC to share their horrific experience with America's dad.
The women claim in their lawsuit that Cosby's representatives damaged their reputations by denying their allegations in sometimes disparaging language. Cosby's lawyers had asked the judge to dismiss their suit, arguing that the remarks were personal opinions protected by the First Amendment and legal declarations made in his defense.
But in his ruling Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Mastroianni rejected Cosby's bid to dismiss the case before it ever goes to a jury.
The women — Tamara Green, Therese Serignese and Linda Traitz — have accused Cosby of drugging them and then having unwanted sexual contact with them.
The comments they claim were defamatory range from statements dismissing their accusations as "ridiculous claims" and "absurd fabrication" to longer remarks that sought to discredit the accusers.
Keisha Knight-Pulliam can't defend Bill no more. She sits with celebrity agitator Wendy Williams to discuss the accusations.
"As the old saying goes, 'consider the source," ended one statement that touched on Traitz's criminal and prison record.
In his ruling, Mastroianni rejects Cosby's argument that the statements were legal declarations made in self-defense.
"The court recognizes that some jurisdictions do apply a version of the conditional self-defense privilege, which allows individuals, in certain circumstances, to publish defamatory responsive statements necessary to defend their reputation. However ... such a privilege does not permit a defendant to knowingly publish false statements of fact," the judge wrote in his 38-page ruling.
Malcolm Jamal-Warner said he can't defend Bill.
Telephone messages left for four attorneys who represent Cosby in the Massachusetts lawsuit were not immediately returned. Cosby has a house in Shelburne Falls, in western Massachusetts.
"As we'd expected and hoped, the judge rejected every one of Mr. Cosby's attempts to throw the case out of court and allowed the case to proceed," said Joseph Cammarata, an attorney who represents the three women.
"We will take Mr. Cosby's deposition at the earliest possible moment. My clients look forward to moving the case forward and to restoring their good names and reputations."
"Dateline NBC" aired a special Friday night in which 29 Cosby accusers were interviewed together about their allegations. Cosby has never been charged with a crime and he has denied the allegations.
Cosby was deposed Friday in a Los Angeles case against him. Lawyer Gloria Allred, the defendant's lawyer in that case, said she would speak on the deposition Saturday in Boston. A third lawsuit in also pending in Los Angeles.
Court documents unsealed in July show Cosby admitting in 2005 to carrying on extramarital relationships with several women, including some who accuse him of sexual assault. The testimony added to the unsavory details that have all but wrecked his nice-guy reputation as TV's Dr. Cliff Huxtable and made a mockery of his preaching about decency and personal responsibility.
