Howard University chiefs have admonished actress and faculty member Phylicia Rashad for lacking sensitivity for celebrating Bill Cosby s prison release. Rashad was one of the few people to applaud Pennsylvania Supreme Court officials decision to overturn her former The Cosby Show co-star s 2018 sexual assault conviction and set him free on Wednesday, citing legal technicalities during his trial. Reacting to the news of his release, the actress, who played the funnyman s onscreen wife from 1984 to 1992, declared: FINALLY!!!! A terrible wrong is being righted- a miscarriage of justice is corrected! A backlash ensued online, and Rashad subsequently returned to Twitter to insist she meant no offence with her original comment - although she stopped short of apologising for her ongoing support of Cosby.
