Don Lemon Gives Bill Cosby Rape Accuser Advice on How Not to Get Raped
Hollywood Reporter ^ | Nov 19, 2014 | Lorena O'neil

Don Lemon is catching a lot of backlash for a comment he made in an interview, implying women can stop unwanted sexual assaults. On Tuesday night, Lemon interviewed Joan Tarshis, a woman who recently went public with her accusation that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted her in 1969.

During their exchange, Lemon questioned Tarshis on why she didn't bite Cosby and use her teeth "as a weapon" when he forced her to perform oral sex.

You are so sure about what you KNOW actually happened.

Which post are you referring to? Actually you seem to know all the details according to your post and why are you claiming he picked them all up in bars and that many if not all were not business get togethers?

The DA you mentioned believed him guilty, but these are hard crimes to take to court against a figure as rich and powerful as Cosby without a lot of evidence.

"“I was 19 years old in autumn of 1969. I had flown to Los Angeles from New York to work on a monologue with Godfrey Cambridge. Two women I was staying with were friends of Bill Cosby, and they took me to have lunch with him in his cottage at Universal Studios, where he was shooting The Bill Cosby Show. He was always generous with his food and drinks, though he never drank alcohol. But he always topped my Bloody Mary’s with beer, which he called a ‘redeye.’

“Cosby seemed to take a liking to me, and so I was invited back a few times. I was naturally flattered. I visited the set on my own and he once introduced me to Sidney Poitier as ‘Midget,’ his pet name for me because I was 5’3″.

“One day he asked me to stay after the shooting and work on some material with him. I was even more flattered and thought this would help move my writing career along. In his bungalow he made me a redeye, and I began to tell him about the earthquake Los Angeles had just had and the sound it made. He liked my ideas for an earthquake bit.

“The next thing I remember was coming to on his couch while being undressed.

“Sure, assuming she’s a pit bull, but is that true for a human? People bite each others ears off all the time, but I can’t recall seeing a human bite mark that penetrated very far into the muscle. Does this happen? Do people bite each others penis off?”

I’m not a penis-bite doctor (if that exists), and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either, so I can only speculate on these questions. I suppose we could get out a napkin and try to do some calculations about average bite-force and the tensile strength of an engorged member, but that might be in poor taste. I just hope I never find out from first hand experience.

Cosby was a football player.

On of the first routines he did on Carson was what really happened when an athlete splashed alcohol-based after shave on freshly razored skin.

Yes we do. The allegations are that he drugged them--with a laced drink or pills--and then molested and/or raped them.

Or, they had too much to drink, got in bed, and were upset when Bill didn't get into a relationship with them.

All 15 of them?

Did she become upset with him when sex didn't advance her writing career?

Over how many years, and how many women did he bed?

So obviously it was her fault...

Don Lemon is an asshole.

Probably more than he would have if he hadn't drugged them.

As a celebrity, he probably had a lot of women who wanted to meet him. Not so many would have wanted sex with him.

C'mon. If 15 women came forward and said he raped them, one can't just dismiss all the allegations.

The title of his dissertation:

But you said that we don’t know what the women are alleging. We do. Whether it’s true or not is a different question, but we certainly do know the allegations.

Yeah, it is a vast conspiracy so far involving 15 women and a republican DA, and that is why the DA believed him guilty in 2000 and why Cosby settled on the 2004 case when so many women were willing to swear to his attacks on them.

It is also why his attorney just corrected his official statement from a few days ago.

It is also why he was bluffing when he threatened the National Enquirer with a 250 million dollar lawsuit and they met it with the threat they would counter sue.

Well if there’s something Lemon knows a lot about it’s oral sex.
