Well loved veteran actor Bill Cosby of the very popular The Cosby Show has been hit with claims from at least seventeen women who claim to have been raped by him.

The allegations date as far back as the early 80’s; a pattern emerges however in the stories of these women who all state that they were drugged and raped while unconscious. Among the women to come forward is renowned model Janice Dickinson.

Bill Cosby has refused to comment on these allegations which have resurfaced again this year, in an  interview with AP  that took place on the 6^th of November, Cosby is asked about the rape allegations  and he is visibly angered by this simply stating ‘No comment’ before asking for that part of the interview to be cut out, his manager is also heard chastising the interviewer for venturing there.

Cosby has been married to his wife Camille for over 50 years and they have 5 children.

These allegations have also affected Cosby’s professional life, as US based network Netflix has pulled out on airing his programs as well as TV Land .
