Bill Cosby cannot seem to rid himself of those resurfaced sexual assault allegations, as it's now being reported that A&E will air a special that stars a number of women who have accused the former Cosby Show star of drugging and sexually assaulting them some years ago.
Cosby: The Women Speak will reportedly feature more than a dozen women, many of whom appeared in New York magazine's cover story that spoke with over 35 of Cosby's accusers.
On the new special, A&E vice president of programming, Brad Abramson, said, "Over the past few months, we noticed more and more women coming forward, telling their stories one by one, with absolutely nothing to gain." Therefore, the network together decided to shed light on the stories of these women for the medium.
Abramson explained that the new special will detail the "moving" and "powerful" stories told by the women and hopefully create a "vivid and persuasive portrait of Mr. Cosby's alleged actions."
The television exec further notes that the network was honored to be able to bring the stories of the brave women to the public eye.

A&E's special on Bill Cosby's accusers airs this coming Sept. 17 at 9 p.m.
Much of the new talk surrounding Bill Cosby kicked off last October when comedian Hannibal Burress called him out down a random stand-up set. During the set, Buress accused Cosby of being a rapist all the while telling black people to pull their pants up. His video ultimately went viral and sparked the resurgence of allegations pinned against the once-upon-a-time respected comedian.
It seems as if Larry Wilmore isn't the only one who hasn't forgotten about Cosby, huh?
