On Monday after documents surfaced in which Bill Cosby admitted to
getting quaaludes to give to girls he wanted to have sex with, the
comedian lost an adamant supporter who had defended him against brewing
sexual assault allegations over the last year. On Tuesday, he lost some
more support: His bust in the Hollywood Studios Hall of Fame Plaza
will be removed, Disney confirmed to a WESH TV reporter in Florida.
The Associated Press reported Monday that court documents from a 2005 hearing involving one
of the more than two dozen women who have accused Cosby of sexual
assault indicated that he admitted under oath at the time to getting the drugs for women he wanted to sleep with
.Upon hearing the news, singer-actress Jill Scott, who had publicly
defended Cosby over the past months, recanted her position and she said she was "completely disgusted" with the news.
Scott’s remarks were unapologetic about her previous position. She
said that the sworn testimony was the proof she needed to change her
mind, and later spoke to being pained by the revelations after standing
“by a man [she] respected and loved. It HURTS!!!” She said in the series
of tweets that black men are often detained or imprisoned without
proper evidence to support those arrests.
