Damon Wayans Defends Bill Cosby Rape Allegations in New Interview? [VIDEO]
Comedian Damon Wayans recently appeared on the oh-so-popular radio program The Breakfast Club to discuss some things of import, including his new, and unfortunate, diabetes diagnosis and the state of comedy. But what has people really talking today is the fact that he seemed to be defending comedian Bill Cosby to a certain degree. Cosby, of course, has a number of rape and sexual assault violations being pinned against him. But in Wayans's opinion, he's not so sure it was as many as alleged.
Per a report from The Daily Beast, over 50 women have come out saying that Cosby has in some way sexually assaulted them over the years. To Wayans, however, some of them – who he calls "b*tches" – are "un-rape-able."
Wayans was asked what advice he would give Cosby in light of the current news. To which he replied, "Tell the truth. If I was him, I would divorce my wife, give her all my money and then I would go to a deposition. I'd light one of them three-hour cigars, I'd have me some wine and maybe a Quaalude. And I would just go off."
Wayans claimed that he doesn't "believe that he was raping," noting that Cosby was probably in relationships with them all and after a while had some trouble getting it up (yep, he went there) and decided, "Bye b*tches."
He then said, "How big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years?"
Check out the interview below:
While his heart is with the women who were actually assaulted by Cosby, Wayans continues to defend the comedian, stating that there's just no reason for the legendary comic to rape a woman who has been drugged, stating, "What's the joy of banging someone that's asleep?"
After headlines had their fun with Wayans, he released the below via his Twitter, noting that it's important we get the whole story and not just pick apart some of his sentences.
