As Bill Cosby goes to court seeking to discredit three women who've accused him of sexual offenses, a Florida woman who previously shared her story anonymously is revealing her identity for the first time.
Jennifer K. "Kaya" Thompson, the onetime Jane Doe No. 2, is coming forward to back those women and 35 others who've made claims against the comedian.

My?
“Bill Cosby became the first black man to star in a US TV drama. According to Bill Adler’s The Cosby Wit, (Robert) Culp described Cosby at their first meeting as ‘the angriest man I ever met ... Bill Cosby, without a question, agonized over what kind of a black man, what kind of a black American, he ought to be’. “

Obviously wasn’t too happy with women to treat them as he did, if the accusations are true.
That's the New Age way of saying it.
These stories are always somewhat less than billed. She was young, he pressured her a long time for sex, she finally gave in once and did something but not everything. Sleazy but not quite the same as drugging someone.
Wonder how many have NOT come forward to expose this evil weak parasitic bastard..
No they aren't, many include being drugged and raped, including the one he settled out of court on in 2006, when more Jane Does were willing to testify on his sexual assaults, including drugging and rapes.
Yes but this one doesn’t involve drugging and that is my point. Sleazy and pressuring a young woman for sure.
What is “My” truth? Sounds like she’s saying that she’s changed to truth to fit her story. Not saying she did, just saying that that’s what it sounds like.
That’s what bothers me about high profile Blacks. Of course they shouldn’t be seen as any different than Whites when it comes to issues of wrong-doing, but I want high profile Blacks kids can look up to, emulate.
When a Barack Obama, or a Bill Cosby, or a Charles Barkley, or any other high profile Black acts anti-socially, it gives kids the idea it’s okay unless you get caught.
I can’t help but wonder if a young Bill Clinton visiting JFK’s White House, found that it wasn’t so bad to treat women like sex objects to be used and discarded.
Role models are important.
Obama and Cosby should hang their heads in shame, and as you state, Cosby only if the charges are true. And at this point, it’s looking pretty bad for Cosby.
I thought that your point was something that is totally inaccurate, “”These stories are always somewhat less than billed””.
As a 50 year serial rapist with victims who today range in age from their mid 20s to their mid 70s, Cosby is a monster of epic proportions, not just a bad guy.

I don’t see a lot of young Black men imitating Bill COsby in anyway other than the alleged indiscretions. COme to think of it, I do not see any young Black men behaving like Obama. No matter what we think of him, he tries to impart a professional appearance and a certain ability that is clearly lost to most young people.

Exactly. When someone uses a phrase like “my truth”, it tells me that they think truth is subjective, and that they are probably a liar.
It looks that way to me also at this point.
I don’t like to talk in definite terms until it’s hashed out though.
One could point to Bill Clinton to disagree, or to the fraternity that was just exonerated to agree.
Don’t you think Obama has displayed actions that should be shunned by Black youth? Lying, doing unConstitutional things, race baiting, stepping into criminal matters in public, rather than letting the trial take place without that stigma, these are things (at least in part) that foster the beliefs of problematic Black youth. “Hey, even the president believes in White Privilege” and that we’re getting treated unfairly. So it’s okay if we act out. We deserve to!”
Cosby has nothing in common with that fraternity, the Cosby accusations involve dozens of women of all ages, covering 5 decades, and multiple states and cities and settling of one of the drugging/rape cases.
The fraternity doesn’t share anything with him, and Clinton doesn’t even come close to such a mountain of accusations and people, and settlements as far as him having committed rape.
Cosby is unique and standing alone in this appearence of being an historical level, American serial rapist.
