hood of the cosby women would say that this is the first of the me too and then the #metoo kind of became the label. but the cosby thing kicked it off. to have those women come forward against the goliath and we re all the little davids. it took that kind of numbers, though, to make this happen. i was going to say, i represent 33. yes. accusers of bill cosby. some of them have never told what happened to them. yesterday one of them came all the way from europe. she was there and she shared what she alleges he did to her for the first time. she would have been called as the prior bad about witness but the court restricted the number who could be called. your story is so powerful, this sisterhood. appreciate you all being with us. we ll be right back.
do the cosbies exist without that, the cosby show? listen, you are in that role now, for a whole generation of people your family is the iconic black family. when the cosby thing came down, how did it hit you? that s something i ve been curious about, how do you process this thing. in all honestly i am still processing it, and i don t know i have a desire to process it publicly. yeah. i ll leave it at that. leave it at that. look, some other issues you ve taken on with humor and grace are important issues. you ve taken on policing. on the show and not me. so not me. we have taken on a lot of heavy issues, very important topics along with separation and divorce. but postpartum, police brutality, the election. even our parent s generation going to the doctor.
