Cosby On Video Asking For Sexual Assault Questions To Be Edited Out
AP has released video of Bill Cosby in a November 6th interview refusing to answer questions about his sexual assault accusations. The video also continues to run after the interview was over where Cosby asks the interviewer to not run that part of it. In the video, found on the Hollywood Reporter, Cosby tries to shame the reporter into not using the footage. He says that it would affect AP’s credibility for asking about it. And he says the only reason he didn’t say the questions were off limits before the interview is because he felt AP was a credible news outlet that wouldn’t have to be told not to ask.
The interview was done with Cosby’s wife, Camille, as well. They sat down to talk about an African American art exhibit going on at the Smithsonian where they donated pieces from their own collection as part it. In another interview about the exhibit with NPR with Cosby and his wife, he refused to verbally respond to the allegation questions and instead just shook his head “no” when asked.
You can skip ahead to the 1:30 mark to watch Cosby ask for the edit after the interview.
