I found out on the True Hollywood Story that Bill Cosby was a real weirdo because.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 05-25-2003, 03:45 PM

He actually was trying to tell the female cast members who they can and cannot date. I always knew Bill Cosby was a wackball but i didn't know he was that crazy. He was supposed to be upset because Lisa Bonet was dating Lenny Kravitz. Was Cosby her real father? How the hell could he tell Lisa what to do off the set? It was reported that her romance with Kravitz was doing something to the image of the show which made Cosby upset. But who cares? If I was Lisa Bonet, i would have told him "Who the hell do you think u are to tell me who i can fall in love with? I'm sorry but Bill had no business interfering in Lisa's personal life off the set. I think Lisa's parents should have confronted Bill Cosby about this. Anyone Agree?

He still had no right to speak about who Lisa Bonet was dating. No one has control over who they fall in love with.

I don't think Bill was trying to rule her life. I think that he just wanted the best for her.

Or for his show!

I think if Bill tried to control Lisa Bonet's life for the sake of the show it is wrong, because Bill isn't her dad. And who is to say what's ruining the image of the show, and even if they do know what's ruining it, it still isn't up to Bill to try and control the personal life of Lisa, or any one else on the show for that matter. BUT it is on Lisa to look at the effect it had on the show and think about it, which she might have or not. Then out of respect for bill and everything he did for her and her career then decide how to go about her actions. But that still shouldn't be under Bill's control. I'll have to side with Solomon on that one.
p.s Does anyone know when they will show that again?, i really wanna see it.

GeorgiaboyJeff! · 05-27-2003, 03:46 PM

Also on E Hollywood True Story... I didn't like how they always had bad things to say about Lisa Bonet on tv.... talking about she showed up late for shows & had a nasty attitude & they said it in the holier than thou attitude! They don't know what could have been going on with her.... It just seemed like they tried to make her out to be some bad person! I'm sure she did some good things too but they failed to mention it.

SNLROCKS · 05-27-2003, 10:48 PM

I think that Bill Cosby shouldn't of told them who and who not to date but I guess he was looking after them and the show's reputation so I guess i'm on both sides.

felicitylen · 05-28-2003, 09:34 AM

Just like someone had mentioned, Bill Cosby wanted the best for his show. He didn't want his show to end up like others. Whatever he did worked because The Cosby Show was very successful. If you think about it, he actually gave Lisa Bonet another chance by giving her her own show, A Different World. It was a spin off of The Cosby Show for Lisa Bonet, but she ended up living that.

Ditto.

call-alluejah · 05-29-2003, 03:46 AM

Sure He might have tried to do the best for her, but is that really his place. And even if it is his place to have an opinion because he was a major part of her life, i don't think he still has the right to use the show as leverage in her making a decision.It might have been just his concern for the show, but he should be more concerned for denise's happiness, no? This is someone he's seen grown up from young, and if she's happy then shouldn't he?

Cashodeen · 05-31-2003, 05:45 PM

I don't know much about Bill, but from what I hear, he's bad news. Or a wackball, as SOLOMON said. LOL. I think if the truth were well known (which it probably never will be because Cosby is the Comedy God to some people and they must protect protect protect), Bill Cosby is nothing but a preachy, holier than thou, control freak. I still want to know why Cockroach left. Oh yes, let's keep it on the down low by saying Bill disapproved of his hair style. PLEASE. I want the truth. What really went on. Low and Behold, if Cockroach was the dirty dog, we'd know about it. Bill had issues and he was probably at fault. And, hey, if Cockroach was canned simply because of his hair, Bill still had issues. Crazy fool.

And now I hear he was telling Lisa who to date. Holy geez! He makes me ill. And I don't agree that he wanted what was best for the show, and it worked because the show was successful because of it. Many shows are successful but their is chaos behind the scenes. I don't know how much chaos went on behind the Cosby Show, but you don't tell your cast members who they can and can't date. That's not how you do business.

Sure, I see why some say he was maybe looking out for her and had her best interest at heart. I just have a sneaky suspicion Bill was only trying to dominate because he probably thinks he is just such a together dude--simply must control the weak and foolish!

Yes, he gave her chances, but good things don't make up for the bad. She's always talked about negatively and looked at negatively in the cast's eyes, and Bill is the ring leader, I'm sure.

Yes, I sound harsh. Like I said, I don't know about Bill too much, and I didn't actually see this E! story. So this could all speculation.

Plus Theo needed a hair cut too so i don't buy that he wouldn't get a haircut.

Superbatboy · 05-31-2003, 09:14 PM

Vanessa REALLY needed a haircut during the 5th season with that dirty afro.
