“Yeah, right.”
The reason the subject of Bill Cosby came up in the first place was because he was accused by a woman at the time, mid 1970s, and a customer asked me what I thought of Bill Cosby as I was bartending. I responded saying I didn’t know much about him, but he seemed to be a good comedian. That is when some of the cocktail waitresses who worked at the Playboy mansion overheard this conversation with the customer, and they got upset with me and started telling me about how they didn’t like the guy and why. After that for some years Cosby would be in the news and discussed at the bar, and the waitresses would start in on him again. That’s why I haven’t forgotten what they said, because I heard it so often and with conviction.
I am always interested to hear insights and personal anecdotes on FR. I also think these thoughts and memories might be deserving of a Bloggers/Personal thread. It might help people understand your side of things, and in any case, it is an interesting recollection, in no small part because it reaches back to the 70s.
But I will note that a LOT of women went to the Playboy Mansion to screw wealthy and/or influential people in order to get something - work, a ring, gifts, status, whatever.
And it would not at all be uncommon to find such targeted men disgusted with them, partaking of them, giving back nothing, and leaving very angry and ashamed women in their wake. Also, in such an environment in the 70's, recreational drugs were extremely common, and expensive, and provided by the target male.
So to them cry drugs and rape and rage decades later, connected with a hungry lawyer, millions of dollars and the needs of the democrat party to shut him up, spells massive bullsh!t to me.
