Bill Cosby: book him for future gigs
According to a report by Radar Online, Poitier was not only friends with the comedian, but he is also on good terms with Alan Ladd Jr., whose wife Cindra Ladd recently accused Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her. A source close to the legendary actor said it is hard to doubt when a couple dozen women come forward with similar accusations.
"I can tell you that Mr. Poitier is terribly disgusted by what Bill Cosby has done, and he feels sorry for him. Poitier has always wanted audiences to understand that the moral men he's played on screen weren't a far cry from the man he is off screen. Have you even heard of whispers about Sidney Poitier? He's dignified, and remains that way -- which is why he will say nothing about Cosby," said the source.
While not everyone in Hollywood is jumping to make their feelings about Cosby and the accusations against him known, he must be taking an enormous amount of heat privately, don't you think? Readers, do you think that his personal life has been as affected just as much as his business has been? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
