Bill Cosby Finally Speaks Out On Sexual Assault Allegations

Comedian Bill Cosby spoke out against a wave of sexual assault allegations but told a Florida publication he does not have to "answer to innuendos."

Cosby, 77, spoke to the newspaper Florida Today on Friday, before performing his comedy routine at a theater in Melbourne, Florida.

The comedian has refused to address questions about allegations made by a number of women who said he forced himself on them sexually, with some accusing him of drugging them first.

"I know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn't have to answer to innuendos," Cosby told Florida Today, which serves readers in Melbourne and surrounding areas.

"People should fact-check. People shouldn't have to go through that and shouldn't answer to innuendos," Cosby told the newspaper, in a story posted on its website late on Friday.

Cosby received a standing ovation at the start of his 90-minute show in Melbourne, which concluded without incident and without the comedian discussing the allegations.

I think it’s more a case of being old, tired, and guilty.

No, more like where there’s this much smoke, there’s fire. Especially when someone else says it’s true, and that he paid women off for Cosby.

If you were to put a big wad of cash on this, would you say he’s innocent or guilty?

I'd say he is innocent.
