Bill Cosby
I would give anything not to believe the latest stories about Bill Cosby, one of the few people whose apparent wisdom and general demeanour I have always admired, not to mention the brilliant Cosby Show which helped me laugh my way out of many of the traumas of child rearing. But while I'm sure some of the accusers are hoping for their 15 minutes of fame, unfortunately the horrible graphic details are beginning to sound pretty convincing, as are the stories of bullying agents suppressing those stories for years. It reminds me of all those over-the-top tv evangelists in the States who are inevitably found in flagrante delicto either with men after they've preached against homosexuality or with women other than their trusting wives. All that public goodness seems to create the need for them to break out in private.

Re: Bill Cosby
At the moment its just accusations that are yet to be proven, however it was something i found hard to believe about Rolf Harris who`s public persona i liked so it was a shock to find he was guilty as charged.Never felt the same about Saville, do remember the documentary by Louis Theroux, found him creepy.
Of course its easy to believe people in the public eye are portraying themselves as they are seen and heard, but im different in private to what i am in public, so can i expect any different from them.

Re: Bill Cosby
I fear we will never hear the end of revelations like this, just think of all those who haven't been found out yet, or even suspected, people we admired and respected turning out to be monsters doesn't help with trusting anyone in the public eye. Innocent or guilty time will tell, I was never a big fan of his anyway, but I was of Saville and Harris, that was a huge shock to me.
