Ones not laced with date rape drugs, that is.
Of course he is mentally ill, as is anyone that drugs and rapes others. But that doesn’t excuse them from culpability or punishment because unless a person is criminally insane, that person still recognizes their actions are wrong but CHOOSES to commit the crime anyway.
Victoria Valentino Image from 1963. Makes one sick to think of all of the hopefuls who flocked to Hollyweird for fame & fortune. Cosby, Hefner, Epstein, Clinton, Weinstein and the list goes on. Mario Puzo put it in "The Godfather" and we did see a bit of it in the movie. Such ugliness!
I still don’t know about this.
Maybe Cosby was a sicko. A sexual sinner at least.
Why did it take so long for ANY of these MULTITUDE of “victims” to speak up?
My hubby thinks it was a conspiracy to shut him up about blacks and how they screw themselves over with the pity party and so on.
He hadn’t done anything major for 10years when he was heard chastising the Black Community(TM) for being losers.
Then after he said some “hurtful” things, these accusations start.
Is Valentino a psychologist now? I don’t understand how her opinion on his mental status has any official capacity?
To that end... why was she dating him 2 weeks after the death of her 6 year old?
Criminal, yes...but mental illness?
Sounds more like plain ole (plain, but potentially powerful) sexual fantasy fulfillment than mental illness.
I had a friend many, many years ago who briefly dated a girl who liked to have sex in hotel elevators. He said she became like a wild animal (completely unlike her behavior in normal locations like boudoirs).
It was the element of danger.
all the media Moguls knew about Cosby from day one I’m sure, just like they knew about Epstein and Weinstein.
Will they prosecute all the women who willingly traded their bodies for parts in his productions?
Whoring is whoring
“Maybe that was who he wished he could be if he weren’t so mentally ill,” Valentino continued. “
We’ve got to stop them “mentally ill “ crap. Mentally ill means you don’t know right from wrong. Cosby clearly knew right from wrong.
I think Cosby should get credit for the “illusion of America’s Dad”. It was a very positive image of a loving father. Whether he was acting or not, he held up an ideal that others could emulate. With the help of screen writers and producers, etc.
That doesn’t excuse him for committing crimes. And while I think he committed the crimes, I doubt any woman who agreed to be alone with him or take the anti-histamines or other drugs he offered is completely blameless. Especially the ones that met him at the Playboy mansion.
