• UVA Fraternity to Take Legal Action as 'Rolling Stone' Writer Keeps Job in Spite of Scandal

    Last November, 'Rolling Stone' published a horrifying story about an alleged gang rape on the campus of the University of Virginia. A woman named "Jackie" accused members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity of a brutal gang rape that shook the community and appalled readers of the publication. We now know that not only did the supposed facts not add up, but that those responsible for the piece never bothered to fact check. Sabrina Rubin Erdely interviewed Jackie eight times for the explosive story that we now know has been officially retracted, but never talked to her friends in spite of referencing them in the piece. The UVA fraternity will take legal action against the magazine while the wrtier will keep her job in spite of the scandal.

Nearly 30 women have come forward with accusations that Cosby either drugged them, sexually assaulted them or both. Up until now the actor has avoided being seen on camera until today, which makes this video even more bizarre.

    Bill Cosby's life has changed pretty radically since last November, when one woman decided to write an essay about allegedly being assaulted by him.
