Actress Phylicia Rashad celebrated the release of her old friend and colleague Bill Cosby from prison. Her mistake was in doing so on social media. She has since deleted the tweet that caused an angry response and now says she will be re-educated. Rashad will take training on how to be a better ally for abused women.
Rashad played Mrs. Huxtable to Bill Cosby’s Dr. Huxtable from 1984 to 1992. The Cosby Show was a classic family-friendly television show. Bill Cosby was known for liberal political activism in his earlier career but during his later years, in his Dr. Huxtable days and with the Jello Pudding Pops commercials, he morphed into America’s dad. He dispensed fatherly advice and told children in at-risk communities to get an education to improve their lives. Then, Cosby fell from grace as over 60 women came forward and told some truly ugly stories of sexual assault. As we know, he was imprisoned after a trial and served two years of a three to ten-year sentence. Cosby was released on June 30. His friend Phylicia tweeted her joy.
“FINALLY!!!!” she tweeted about his release. “A terrible wrong is being righted – a miscarriage of justice is corrected!”
