The number of allegations of rape and sexual assault against Bill Cosby continue to rise as former “The Cosby Show” actor Joseph C. Phillips, who played Denise Huxtable’s husband Lt. Martin Kendall on the NBC sitcom, has now pointed a finger at his former TV father-in-law.
He went on to rant in a lengthy blog post stating, “my attitude was that if Bill was cheating on [his wife] Camille, I am fairly certain Camille knew. Hey, if everyone who claimed to know actually knew, then certainly Camille knew, and had long ago made her peace with it.”
The actor added, “I never saw Bill engage in any inappropriate behavior. I certainly never saw him drug anyone. So, all I have is the same gossip as everyone else.”
However, Phillips noted his attitude changed as the accusations began to dominate headlines and he ran into an “old friend” that Cosby had served as a “mentor” to. Through tears, she told Phillips she “cursed him for violating both her trust and her body. She cursed herself for not being smarter, and for degrading herself in pursuit of success.”
Cosby’s attorney, Martin Singer, has continued to deny the accusations made against the celebrity comedian and actor.
