If I was him, I would divorce my wife, wink wink, give her all my money, and then I would go to a deposition, Id light one of them three-hour cigars, Id have me some wine, and maybe a Quaalude, and I would just go off, because I dont believe he was raping, Wayans said.
I think he was in relationships with all of them, and then hes like, You know what, its 78, I cant get it up for any of yall, bye bitches,' he continued. And now theyre like, Oh, really? Rape. Forty years listen, how big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years?
<snip>
And some of them, really, is un-rape-able. I look at them and go, No, he dont want that. Get outta here! He later added, Look, I understand fame. Ive lived it. Women will throw themselves at you. They just want to be in your presence. Theres some that innocently will come up there, but not 40-something women. Theyre not that naïve.
Wayans later backtracked, saying if some of the some of teh women who claim they were sexually assaulted, And for them, my heart goes out to them. For anybody who was raped by Bill Cosby, Im sorry, and I hope you get justice, however he wasnt done attacking, once again calling women bitches and wondering why Cosby would rape a drugged woman, saying: Whats the joy of banging someone thats asleep?

(12,336 posts)How much money is involved? How much money has Cosby paid him? I still haven't heard one member of the "Cosby Show" cast trash him. They made lots of money because of him. So it's doubtful they'll do anything but defend him. So it makes me wonder about Wayans.

I mean even if you think some of that foolishness to be true, if you're sober you have to know to keep mouth shut.
He could be the next Michael Richards, never to be heard from again.

(8,419 posts)I think he was trying to do edgy comedy and he just sucked!
I saw him at The Comedy Club in the 80s, he was doing similar annoying shit and he lost the crowd. Richard Belzer was hosting and the tried to make it as a we don't get black humor thing. Then Sam Kinison came out and royally sucked, over the top obnoxious suck and he lost the crowd. He tried the "you guys don't get it shit" one guy screamed no it is because you guys suck. He started going after the guy and about 1/3rd of us stood up and walked out.
I think they just all got on a really dark mean roll and lost it. And I am talking statements that in no way were funny, rather something you might punch a guy for if he said it on the street.
Glad to hear that I had the wrong Wayans brother!

He started criticizing young black men and then he lost us, and so were not supporting him and they see that opening, Wayans said. So now, you know what? Attack him! Kill him! But the dude from 7th Heaven, his shows still on TV. Woody Allens making shows and movies. I just dont believe this. Its a money hustle.

The accusations of one notoriously dishonest and vindictive ex-wife made in a divorce hearing (which the courts found to be of no merit) do not equal 50+ women coming forward to accuse Cosby with creepily similar tales.
Wayans is an idiot.

oberliner
(58,724 posts)Or do you not think that part is salient in this case?
hedgehog
(36,286 posts)Now that it is raised, I think it is a combination of the fact that Bill Cosby is not only better known, but for many years the symbol of good fatherhood and to some extent a latter day Booker T. Washington. By that I mean, (some? Most?) whites perceived him as telling young black men to pull up their pants and get a job. SO, it's a combination of racism, reputation and popularity.

The Scary Movie series was equally nasty.
