Brittany Harvey has written for LCB in the past. Here are her thoughts on Bill Cosby as an entertainer and the unsealing of a 2005 deposition:
Bill Cosby
has not been tried. Nothing has been proven. He has not been charged with
anything. The theatre of the courtroom has been reserved for television and the
internet. As Whoopi Goldberg stated on The
View, the man is innocent until proven guilty.
Still,
this innocence must be reconciled with fact. And the fact is we know Billy
Cosby admitted to not only purchasing quaaludes but purchasing them as a means
for drugging women to have sex. Not many crimes are more predatory,
preconceived, or disgusting. The intent here is absolute in its evil, for it
denies others agency with ongoing repercussions. My heart goes out to all the
women he violated in anyway. And, no matter how this ends, Cosby clearly did
something awful, perhaps multiple times. It is horrific, and inexcusable.
