2011 Bill Cosby Says Rape Is A Form Of Bullying
Bill Cosby, in a previously unreleased interview from April 2011 says he believes rape is a form of bullying. The 77-year-old comedian also describes rape as “annoying” and “sickening.” Radar Online released audio clips from the interview which was created for a documentary about bullying. According to RadarOnline, in the interview, Cosby is talking about an 11 year old girl who was raped by a group of men. Cassidy McMillan who conducted the interview with Cosby told RadarOnline that he was releasing the audio now because “I feel I have an ethical obligation to do so.”
Cosby called boys who raped a girl bullies, and animals:
“The incident in Compton where these boys raped this girl. That, to me, is a form of bullying, and it’s something that you get a terrible taste in your mouth. I don’t want to put things on a level, but a group of males descending upon another human being in an act of violent, physical trauma — sexual abuse, molestation — is at a level of…I don’t even want to berate animals because animals are not taught better.”
He continued:
“Rape…there is no freedom unless in a courtroom, but an 11 year old can’t give permission. I mean she could give permission but one’s only excuse would be I didn’t know it was against the law which is not going to go that far. We’re talking about human beings who enjoy doing this. And pushing it and pushing it.”
and
“I remember a young lady that I knew who was raped, and she came home and reported it and her father blamed her for it, and would hear nothing of going after the boy.”
“But the rape thing, this rape thing is annoying…it is sickening…the suicide, the act which drives a person to suicide, and then what is nauseating is the excuse given by those with authority who are supposed to look in to situations like this seriously. For them to say they didn’t know, because they know that if the correct answer and the truthful one, which is what I mean when I say correct, is that I really didn’t think it was important.”
Oh shit does this mean that he could be called to testified against himself?
