Bill Cosby Is Doing Damage Control, Refuses to Discuss Revived Rape Allegations

While Cosby has been outspoken in the past, vehemently denying that he has ever put an inappropriate hand on any woman, this time around he has chosen to let his legal team do all the damage control.

According to a report by TMZ, his attorney came out swinging, saying, "Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work."

Cosby also sat down for an interview with NPR that turned incredibly awkward when the host felt he had no choice but to ask the actor about the allegations. Cosby flat out refused to comment and instead simply sat in defiant silence. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that Cosby's upcoming appearance on David Letterman's show had been canceled.

If 13 women have all come forward in the last decade who do not know each other and they all have a similar story to share, as seems to be the case, do you think the comedy legend could actually be guilty? Will this round of allegations ruin whatever might be left of his career?
