Bill Cosby played a sold-out comedy show on Friday in Florida, despite a wave of sexual assault allegations this week that prompted the cancellation of several upcoming shows and two major studios to halt projects involving the comedian.
Cosby, 77, took the stage to a standing ovation and gave the audience a thumbs up at the King Center in Melbourne. The 90-minute show concluded without incident.

When I saw him, he brought people up on stage who were from his old neighborhood in Philly to reminisce.
Let’s not forget Cosby is a big supporter of obama. That says a lot...
We all know what the tactics of the anti-Americans is ... why should this be any different ?
Just because it sounds like it SHOUULD be ?
We all know obola is a fraud, but it eventually diminishes into nothing.
What possible result can come from charging Cosby with a 30 year old crime?
CAN it be chargeable.
There's too much going on in the black community right now to give much credence to these charges ...
IMO
People still love R Kelly and Michael Jackson. People grade celebrities on a curve.
So.
Oh, I believe it. I just think he’s a good performer. I wish they’d gone after Clinton the way they’re going after Cosby.
I was sitting last night here in Germany, and a commercial network ran a two-hour Michael Jackson all-time hits with dozens of bits and pieces over his marriages, accidents, health issues, lost wealth, and life history. Funny though....they skipped the whole pay-off episode for the kids....never mentioning a single detail. You can bring this up with a 1,000 Germans, and I’d take a guess that only three would have heard about this....the other 99-percent think the guy walks on water.
I think you meant "moonwalks" on water. ;)
Remember Bill Cosby is an actor. He is a very good actor. He is not Cliff Huxtable. It is easy to understand otherwise, after many Americans have spent hours with Cliff and his family streamed into our living rooms. Cliff Huxtable doesn’t exist, he is a character that an actor was paid to play.
It is not classy to drug women and rape them. So many years later it will be impossible to use evidence to prove him guilty. He knows this.
As much as it saddens me to say this, I tend to believe these accusations are true. It is hard to come to terms with the idea that an actor who could so well portray a family man with an upstanding moral code could do the things he is accused of. He is a very good actor who knows how to play a part and Hollywood is a cesspool.
Cosby is a republican hating, Obama loving democrat liberal, and he and his wife are racists, there is no conspiracy to punish him for being a political conservative because this story finally got legs after the media doing a little coverage in the early and mid 2000s.
How come the press not only gave Slick Willy the benefit of the doubt, but they also trashed every woman who made an accusation against him.
How come the press is virtually pronouncing Cosby guilty without a trial? Cosby is not a republican, but he has on many times reproached black male youths.
Seriously, you are still calling 2000 and a drugging/rape from 2004 and a court settlement in 2006 "30 years ago"?
The DA in the 2004 case is convinced he raped her.
“” Former (republican) Pennsylvania prosecutor Bruce L. Castor Jr., who investigated a woman’s claims that Cosby had sexually assaulted her in 2004, said Wednesday he decided not to prosecute because he felt there was not enough evidence to get a conviction.
“I wrote my opinion in such a way as I thought conveyed to the whole world that I thought he had done it, he had just gotten away with it because of a lack of evidence,” the former Montgomery County district attorney said.””
I know, but it just strikes me as odd that in over thirty years, no one has ever contacted the police to accuse him of these offences. I can't believe that more than a dozen women would hold back that long, all waiting for somone else to make the first claim. As to paying off that one woman, I have been told that it is just cheaper for a celebrity to pay out than to pay a lawyer do defend him.
You really want to compare evidence of Clinton’s rape against all of the evidence of Cosby’s rapes?
How does Clinton and his 1978 rape, figure into all rape stories now?
Law & Order actress details Bill Cosby’s attempted sexual assault of her while working on The Cosby Show - and claims he did drug at least one woman on set
Michelle Hurd, the actor known for her work on Law & Order: SVU and Gossip Girl has come forward to share her story about Bill Cosby
Hurd says Cosby touched her inappropriately and asked that she eat lunch with him in his dressing room when she worked on The Cosby Show
She says Cosby told her to ‘NEVER tell anyone what they did together’
Then, one night he asked her to shower at his apartment, but she declined
Hurd eventually spoke with another woman who said she woke up at Cosby’s apartment drugged one morning
This as Cosby’s lawyer is calling the growing number of allegations against the actor ‘increasingly ridiculous’ and ‘completely illogical’

First you ask a question that you know is a lie, and then you prove it is a lie by mentioning one of the cases of someone going to the police and attack her for it.
One woman filed a police report in 2000 and the police wouldn’t use his name in it, and never contacted him, the other filed for her 2004 rape and the DA still believes that Cosby raped her, but that he couldn’t win a conviction.
Hello Juanita Broaddrick.
See post 36, there are more stories like it, even Lou Ferigno’s wife told him five years ago, about her run in with Cosby’s sexual aggression back in 1967.
I've honestly viewed this as another rat attempt to sideline a black voice.
THE WOMEN WHO SAY THEY WERE ATTACKED BY COSBY
Andrea Constand - A Temple University employee, she claimed in 2006 that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in his Philadelphia-area mansion two years earlier. Cosby eventually settled this suit out of court as the prosecution said they had 13 Jane Does who would testify Cosby did the same to them in the past.
Barbara Bowman - Bowman told MailOnline that Cosby raped and drugged her back in 1985 when she was a 17-year-old aspiring actress. Bowman was one of the 13 Jane Does in the 2006 trial against Cosby.
Joan Tarshis - Tarshis claimed that she was just 19-years-old when Cosby drugged and raped her twice in Hollywood back in 1969 while she was working as a writer for him.
Janice Dickinson - The supermodel said in an interview that Cosby asked her to come to Lake Tahoe and talk about a television role in 1982, but ended up drugging and raping her.
Tamara Green - Green, who first came forward in 2005 told MailOnline that she was an aspiring actress in the 1970s when Cosby gave her pills and pretended to care for her while she had the flu, but instead sexually assaulted her.
Therese Serignese - Also one of the 13 Jane Does, she says she was 19 when Cosby drugged and raped her in Las Vegas after one of his shows.
Louisa Moritz - She accused Cosby of sexual assault, saying he once forced her into oral sex, backstage at The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1971, and implied he would further her career if she went through with it.
Linda Joy Traitz - She said earlier this week that she was just 19 when Cosby drove her out to a beach and tried to get her to take pills to relax, before becoming ‘sexually aggressive’. Traitz, of Hallandale Beach, Florida, has been charged in the past with trafficking pills. Cosby’s attorney, Marty Singer, is trying to use Traitz’s past to discredit her claims against his client.
Beth Ferrier - Beth Ferrier claims she had relationship with Cosby in the mid-1980s. She claims that she awoke in her car with her clothes in disarray and not remembering what had happened. Ferrier has claimed that he drugged her coffee.
Carla Ferrigno - The wife of Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno, claims Cosby tried to sexually assault her during a gathering at his house in 1967. What’s more, Cosby allegedly tried to use a friend to help court Ferrigno, and allegedly made his move on the former Playboy Bunny just moments after his own wife, Camille, left the room.
Andrea Leslie - The former model-actress claims that Cosby forced her to masturbate him in his Vegas hotel suite after giving her a strong drink in 1992.
