Lisa Bonet: Bill Cosby had a "sinister, shadow energy" when I worked with him on The

“There was just energy,” Bonet tells Net-a-Porter. “And that type of sinister, shadow energy cannot be concealed.” Bonet says she “always” sensed darkness around Cosby. “And if I had anything more to reveal then it would have happened a long time ago. That’s my nature. The truth will set you free,” she says.

I think it has been shown that Bill Cosby did not like Lisa Bonet, and the feeling was mutual. Cosby may have had a point about her, and did not like Bonet's choices, being in a crappy soft porn film called Angel Heart, getting pregnant and all that, it went against Cosby's narrative of him and his program being wholesome and family friendly.

I am sure probably at times Cosby was a real pain in the ass to work for and it was HIS show. It wasnt an ensamble, it was his show. And it probably sucked at times for Bonet to have to deal with grumpy Cosby and his bulls..t. But it was hard to just get rid of Denise because she was popular and was popular with teen viewers (which I was at the time), and she was very attractive. But work sucks no matter what it is when you are stuck and your superior doesnt like you with sides forming.

I believe her description of him.

Can't blame Bonet for wanting to make a living, even with the "sinister energy" man as her boss. That wasn't proof enough that he was doing "sinister" things to women. But a can believe she had that feeling, and I do remember reading interactions between Cosby and Bonet from the first years on the show where he did not sound like a kind mentor figure to this teen actress.

Oh, please. We all have to make a living. How many people don’t like their bosses? Should they all quit and become unemployed because of it?

I never cared for Bill Cosby, but I always thought Bonet was very strange, too.

I would be very angry if Lisa Bonet drugged me and raped me. Because I want to be awake for the experience.

Lisa Bonet would entertain viewers for years as Denise Huxtable but her time with the show's creator Bill Cosby surprisingly wouldn't last. For a new 'Here's Why' we take a look at why Cosby and Bonet would fall out.

Angel Heart was not a "crappy soft porn". If anything, a movie directed by Alan Parker and starring Mickey Rourke and Robert DeNiro is better than any of Cosby's crap fests like Ghost Dad or Leonard Pt. 6. It definitely was not a movie for families who watched TCS, but it was definitely well made.

Bill Cosby Speaks From Prison Saying His Trial Was A Sham

November 24, 2019 — Bill Cosby breaks his silence, granting his first exclusive interview since beginning his sentence at SCI-Phoenix, a maximum-security Pennsylvania penitentiary near Philadelphia.

Today, in a special phone call with the National Newspaper Publishers Association’s BlackPressUSA.com, Cosby said he’s spending his time helping to teach and encourage a large population of African American inmates – men he calls residents — via Mann Up, a prison reform program.

The 82-year-old educator and award-winning TV producer/director/comedian was sentenced to serve 3-to-10-years in Pennsylvania’s prison system following his September 2018 conviction on charges of aggravated indecent assault.

Unless he receives relief from the state’s appellate courts, Cosby said he fully anticipates serving his entire sentence, saying he’s not guilty and will never admit to something he didn’t do. Displayed remorse is generally a required prerequisite to obtaining parole or a shortened sentence.

During the exclusive interview with NNPA, Cosby was candid, vivid and outspoken.

Andrew Wyatt, Cosby’s spokesman, was also on the call, where Cosby stressed that there would be no ground rules or restrictions. No topics were off-the-table for discussion.

Cosby received no special treatment from the facility for this interview. Because inmates are only allowed to remain on phone calls for 15-minutes, Cosby had to call back multiple times in order to complete today’s interview.

“I have eight years and nine months left,” Cosby stated. “When I come up for parole, they’re not going to hear me say that I have remorse. I was there. I don’t care what group of people come along and talk about this when they weren’t there. They don’t know.”

He said his trials were a sham, unjust and not fair.

“It’s all a set up. That whole jury thing. They were imposters,” Cosby stated.

“Look at the woman who blew the whistle,” he said, alluding to the potential juror who overheard a seated juror proclaim before the trial that, “he’s guilty, we can all go home now.”

“Then she went in and came out smiling, it’s something attorneys will tell you is called a payoff,” Cosby stated. “I know what they’ve done to my people. But my people are going to view me and say, ‘that boy looks good. That boy is strong.’ I have too many heroes that I’ve sat with. Too many heroes whom I listened to like John Henrik Clarke, Kenneth Clark, and Dorothy Height. Those people are very strong, and they saw the rejection of their people. This is political. I can see the whole thing.”

“I am a privileged man in prison,” he stated.

During the call, Cosby referred to his small cell as “my penthouse.”

He revisited his famous 2004 “Pound Cake” speech and clarified that he probably should not have addressed that controversial dissertation to all African Americans – the residents at SCI-Phoenix make for the perfect audience, Cosby stated.

Cosby said he remains concerned, however, for all of Black America.

“They are under siege. This thing with the drugs and the different pockets of the neighborhoods where it’s going on. When you look at what drugs are doing… things that make these people drive around and shoot into crowds,” Cosby said.

“The insanity of what is the cause to the brain by all the drugs these people are dealing with. It’s exactly what I warned them about in 2004. They’ve thrown education out the window.

“They’ve thrown respect for the family out the window, and they’re blaming each other for what’s going on. There is post-traumatic stress syndrome, and there are also bad manners.”

While inmates who spoke to NNPA Newswire said they were saddened to see an icon like Cosby imprisoned, each said they believe he’s serving a higher purpose. Cosby agreed.

“I don’t belong to the Mann Up Association, but it’s a privilege to come in and speak,” Cosby stated. “I never wanted them to lord me up (be put on a pedestal). This is a great privilege.”
