Phylicia Rashad Responds To Backlash For Commentary On Bill Cosby’s Release Vibe 4 hrs ago © Rick Kern/Getty Images for Fast Company On Wednesday (June 30), Phylicia Rashad took to Twitter to rejoice in the news of her former television husband Bill Cosby’s release from prison. The gleeful message resulted in backlash, causing the 73-year-old to delete the tweet and send another message in solidarity with survivors of sexual assault. As  VIBE reported, Cosby was released from prison after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled an agreement with a previous prosecutor prevented him from being charged in the case. The disgraced comedian was convicted of sexual assault and had served two years of a three- to 10-year sentence. Although his release did not translate to innocence, Rashad tweeted his photo, declaring “FINALLY!!!!.”
