Bill Cosby Scrubbed From TV Academy Website
The Television Academy has joined a long list of entertainment based organizations to scrub reference to Bill Cosby from their publications. He was previously listed on the Television Academy’s website as a member of the television organization’s Hall of Fame, but this week all mention was removed after Cosby was found guilty of aggravated indecent assault.
Variety also reported that a bust of Cosby will not return to display at the TV Academy’s North Hollywood campus.
A spokesperson for the Television Academy told Variety that they have no plans to strip Cosby of his four Primetime Emmy awards, and that his induction into the Television Hall of Fame will not be reversed, despite his removal from the website.
The Television Academy, is made up of over 24,000 members including performers, directors, producers, art directors and various other artisans, technicians and executives, and is responsible for the Emmy Awards, the Creative Emmys and inductions into the Television Hall of Fame
