the Associated Press revealed that back
in 2005 Bill Cosby did testify that he
purchased Quay luds with the intention
of drugging young women that he wanted
to have sex with now that was
information that did not change whoopy
Goldberg's support for the comedian in
fact during a segment about the issue on
The View she said that well you know he
hasn't been convicted of anything so I
don't know what to tell you well now
there is an alleged victim Lily Bernard
who has come forward to speak to CNN
about what she went through she's
actually very enraged about whoopy
Goldberg's response to the evidence
let's take a quick
look people have been coming after me
tell they going to snatch my family they
going to come it's like being
Frankenstein people coming after you
with the fire and they're going to burn
you no one here thinks rapists are fun
nobody here thinks rape or hates women
or any of that so don't come after me
like that cuz I'm sick of this bull
here's the bottom line for me it's my
opinion and the American courts agree
with me because still he has not been
taken to jail or tried or on anything so
back off
me LLY final question to you um 60
seconds what would you say how would you
respond to the to the Defenders of Bill
Cosby to to to whoopy
Goldberg well I I have utmost respect
for Wy goldber she's a great comedian
but what I endured with Bill Cosby was
no bull by any means you know he
um met with me under the pretense of uh
meeting with producers who would further
my career and he surreptitiously
clandestinely slipped drugs into my um
blood and he raped me it was a very
traumatic I wasn't even I'm a very
strong person you know I I'm mean I gave
birth to six children without any pain
relief and yet with this strength
because he incapacitated me I was not
even able to push away the pillow from
my face that he was using to silence my
screams while while he was suffocating
me while he was raping me and then when
he finally lifted the pillow and I could
finally gasp for air I could not even
wipe away the tears trickling down my
temples that were Welling in my ears and
so this is no bull this is real this is
what I
experienced yeah I mean come on 40
people right and so the part that drove
me crazy about whoopy Goldberg is the
American courts agree with me no no no
wait a minute wait a minute first of all
when the statute of limitation is run
out that doesn't mean that he was
innocent like so he might have let's say
it's something else he mugged you in the
streets but seven years later the
statute of limitations runs out he
doesn't get to go around and go ha see I
did mug you seven years ago no but we
never got to court because the statute
of limitations ran out and second of all
and this is the part that really enraged
me a lot of the reason that that those
women did not go into court is because
they were bullied and threatened by
Cosby and so uh Bernard says the woman
you just said saw there said that Cosby
told her as far as I'm concerned Bernard
you're dead do you hear me you're dead
Bernard you don't exist I never want to
see your face again now get the hell out
of here okay so now look the rapes are
horrific enough I mean you don't you
don't need to add anything to that to
get outraged right and know 40 people
didn't all make it up and now we have
the sworn testimony from Cosby saying he
did buy Quaaludes to drug women he he's
got his excuses well I didn't drug that
particular woman with Quay luds but you
know it's very clear what's happened
right uh
and but the part for whatever reason
that I hadn't thought of is is this part
where not only do you rape them but then
afterwards you have to bully them to
make sure they don't come out right and
so to say that to a woman after you
raped her and the description she had
there was unbelievable right
and it just makes you such a Despicable
Despicable person and and to use your
power against the powerless to rape them
and then to threaten them like that like
I'm going to ruin your life if you ever
tell people that I rap and then what
just boils my blood is all those
moralistic speeches that Bill Cosby did
when you add on top of that oh you see
it was you you didn't have personal
responsibility and you know and you
shouldn't have done this and you
shouldn't have done that all those
speeches he gave to the black community
like he was better than them right like
it's one thing if you got your stuff in
order and you're actually trying to help
people and you frame it the right way
it's another thing when you wag your
finger and you say how dare you do that
and pull your pants up pull your pants
up look at what he did he had his pants
down as he was raping women and he went
to black people and told him to pull
their pants up in public because you you
could see their underwear a little bit
and meanwhile he threatens to kill
people whatever he did I mean I don't
know that I don't know that he meant
that he was a physically gonna kill her
but he certainly threatened the careers
of people he did whatever he had to do
to make sure the women he raped didn't
come forward oh and then you Whoopi
turns around and defends him oh well you
never got him in court haha no it's not
ha yeah that doesn't that doesn't
necessarily mean anything especially
when you consider the statute of
limitations but for all the people that
would get angry at the women who came
forward decades later keep in mind that
when they were allegedly victims of rape
they were really young and they were
very powerless and they're dealing with
someone who was tremendously wealthy
very powerful very much idolized by
America and so how do you fight against
that especially when he's threatening
you and he's going to tear your
character apart I in the press in public
whatever it is right so if you're coming
forward decades later it might be
because you feel empowered enough to
actually finally speak out right you
might feel like okay at least I know I
can say something now because he can't
touch me he can't harm me but when
you're like someone in your late teens
or early 20s and you're a victim of rape
and you're fighting against someone like
Bill Cosby I mean people are going to
doubt you and he's going to use every
resource he has at his disposal to tear
you down and he was still living the
good life you know and and he had a
couple of shows if you remember at the
beginning of the Scandal he had a couple
of show new shows he was going to do
everything was fine for him he was going
to get away with all of it I'm so glad
he got busted so glad you know I mean
really you think all those women she
made that story up about how she
couldn't move and the and the tear
rolled into her ear and she remembers
the tears welling up in her ears you
think she made that up you think that
look so we got on a debate on this show
a couple weeks ago it got pretty fiery
because I got mad because it was assumed
that that a that a woman who accused a
guy of rape was just I felt it was
assumed that she was automatically right
not everybody who accuses someone of
rape is is Right some sometimes it's not
true that's why you go to court if you
can on uh if you're not bullied into not
going into court etc etc so but when 40
women come out all have the same story
is there no bounds of Reason where you
go well maybe at the at a minimum I
shouldn't say anything about it because
it might be
true well come on are there no bounds of
reason she made the comparison also in
that same segment we didn't show it she
said well well look at what happened to
the Duke lacrosse players right they got
raked across the coals and they didn't
do it these are not analogous the DU
Duke lacrosse scandal was one woman
accused a bunch of college kids right
these just 40 women he admitted it in
his own testimony he had that sealed he
wanted that sealed you know he's guilty
but I would say all those women the
reason they didn't tell the truth
earlier is because he was looking for
the kind of woman who wasn't going to go
to the police afterwards he groomed them
he did everything you do yeah and he he
searched out the most powerless to do
this to and he made a mistake and when
he did it to that woman who wasn't
powerless from Temple University and she
sued him in Civil Court that's where
this testimony comes from that's right
yeah she was the head of something in at
Temple like the head of the women's
athletic or something so she wasn't just
so she was willing to fight back yeah
for all those years for all those
decades he scoured uh to see up
actresses and to see who would be the
least willing to at least able to fight
back given their circumstances right
yeah man I have never had a change of
opinion about a person more than Bill
Cosby I mean I grew up in the 80s I
loved Bill Cosby right loved them loved
them loved them now uh just one of the
most despicable guys uh in America this
is this is like Chris Christie swearing
off deep frying I mean this is really a
switch this is a switch okay he had to
end it on a Chris Christie joke he just
can't help himself right
