Around 30 female protesters disrupted Bill Cosby's stand-up comedy show in Hamilton, Ontario Friday night, yelling "We believe the women." The Hollywood Reporter witnessed as the comedian grimly attempted to calm his fans while police and security guards moved in to end the disruption.
Then, just as Cosby launched into his comedy act, roughly 30 women rose from their seats, removed their coats to display white t-shirts emblazoned with the words "We Believe the Women" across the front and backs to launch their protest.
Some of the women blew whistles, while others shouted down Cosby by chanting "we believe the women, we believe the women." As security waded into the audience to corral the protesters, Cosby was on his feet calling out, "Stop, stop, let them, let them, stop... let them have their say."
As security slowly made their way to the protesters, with some of the women taking smartphone videos to mark the occasion, Cosby continued to urge calm, his arms outstretched and his hands, palms down, rising and falling as if to silence the protest. Some in the audience yelled out "We believe the men," and "We love you Bill."
But that fan support only had Cosby calling out still louder, "stop, it will calm." As one young protester was escorted from the audience, she turned back to the main stage and shouted out: "Our product is steel, our strength is people," with a reference to the city of Hamilton's giant steel mills.
Then, just as calm seemed to return to the theater, a male protester rose from his seat to yell out: "You're a piece of shit. You rapist." Cosby, who now had a grim smile on his face, said "stop, no, no, don't do this," as he looked on as the security finished corralling the hecklers.

I believe the pudding.
I bet his handlers told him to quit mocking the rape victims during his show.
That was an insight into the mentality of a lifelong serial rapist.
Wow he went to Canada cause no one wanted him here.
Is he broke? Why is he still out there?....he must be broke.
Whether it’s at all true or not.....it’s over Bill.
Bill Cosby net worth: Bill Cosby is an American comedian, television star and producer whose incredibly successful career has given him a net worth of $400 million. Cosby was raised in Philadelphia and left school at the age of 15 to join the Navy, though he eventually earned his diploma and went on to earn a doctorate in Education. Cosby debuted his stand-up act in the clubs of Philadelphia, which led to national exposure on The Tonight Show and a series of successful comedy albums in the 1960s—Cosby won seven Grammy Awards for Best Comedy Performance between 1965 and 1987. His act’s success led to television roles on The Dick Van Dyke Show and the action series I Spy, for which he won three consecutive Emmy Awards.
In the 1980s, Cosby launched one of the most successful sitcoms of all time, The Cosby Show, which ran from 1984 to 1992 and is one of only two sitcoms to remain at the top of the Nielsen ratings for five consecutive seasons. His second sitcom, Cosby, aired from 1996 – 2000; at the same time, Cosby returned to his stand-up roots, hosting programs such as Kids Say the Darndest Things, as well as several game shows. He also became a popular spokesman, representing Jell-O, Kodak, Ford, and Coca-Cola. Cosby has been married to wife Camille since 1964, and the couple have four daughters and one late son.

So you already have convicted Bill as a life long serial victim and determined that these women are victims? Is that because women never lie or that all men are rapists?
That’s where the proof is...
America gone crazy while islamics take over the world.
American comedian who should cool it for awhile if not forever; crazy women who have nothing better to do than print up white t-shirts, buy expensive tickets to shows and then act up during the act. Makes no sense to me.
I go where the evidence takes me, and the evidence against Cosby is vastly larger than the evidence that Bill Clinton is a rapist.
Give me your arguments that we are wrong to think that Bill Clinton is a rapist, and I will try to expand your defense to fit Cosby.
Had he been playing in my little town *I* would go see him.
I’d have been a bit perturbed, though: tickets were going for half face value that night.
If he mocks the women during the show, he risks restarting the statute of limitation.
Well, we have to look at evidence you do have access to. You have to weigh the credibility of the people who are offering evidence.
This happens all the time. When Zimmermanshot Trayvon,we all had to listen to the evidence and supporting factors. At some point, most of us were able to make a decision.
Same with Mike Brown. We heard the eyewitnesses, the police account. In time, you form an opinion.
It happens all the time.
You,re on the fence, I take.
Post 6 has the remark that he worked into his show.
Yeah, I was aware.
I am very much NOT an expert. but, it sounded like a throw away. The woman got up from her seat. He stopped the show to enquire. She said she wanted to get a drink. He made the remark.
It probably would not meet the burden off proof. It has to be him mocking the women. I really didn’t,t see mocking.
I believe the women... There’s so many of them they’re thinking for forming their own political party...
Forgive my typos.
I,m on my iPad until I get it together.
I bet his lawyers and handlers quickly told him not to make light of his victims again in his show.
It was mocking them and their accusations that he drugged them with drinks, and then raped them, remember that he settled out of court on the accusation, “drugged,and raped”, and that most of the druggings were said to come from drinks that he made for his victims.
He has alienated black American Marxist by suggesting they become responsible for their actions such as working not breeding irresponsibly, etc
Cosby may very well be the date rape monster some make him out to be. I don’t know. I do know the left in this country might do just about anything to punish those who go against their leftist status quo.
Bill Cosby is of the left.
Cosby is a lifelong democrat that despises republicans and calls them racists for opposing Obama, he was also involved in the Tawana Brawley rape hoax, he is a hard liberal.
