Former "The Cosby Show" actor Joseph C. Phillips can no longer defend Bill Cosby, having published a blog post titled "Of Course Bill Cosby Is Guilty!," according to the Hollywood Reporter.
"The Cos was a ladies man, but also good father and husband - devoted to his wife and children. Bill was educated; he collected art and was fluent in jazz," Phillips wrote in his blog post about his fallen idol. "After my father, Bill Cosby was the man I aspired to be."
However, the actor went on to explain that it was "common knowledge" that Bill slept around during the late '80s-early '90s.
"Bill sleeping around was a 'fact' that, like, the air, seemed to just be," Phillips wrote. "You didn't have to see it or hear it to know that it existed."
He describes the "parade" of young women going in and out of Cosby's dressing room and said he didn't think much of Cosby's infidelity until a mutual female friend came to him and revealed that Cosby violated "her trust and her body."
It was then that Phillips started to realize that the allegations against Cosby must be true and said he felt angry at himself for putting the comedian on a pedestal. His post ended with a plea to the actor's former co-star.
"Bill, you have a family who loves you, a wife who is devoted to you; you have more money than you can spend. Please, go live a quiet country life," Phillips wrote. "Allow those of us who truly love you to preserve just a bit of our enchantment."
An Associated Press report cited previously unsealed court documents from Cosby's 2005 sexual assault lawsuit in Philadelphia that Cosby admitted to obtaining prescriptions for Quaaludes with the intent to give them to women before attempting to have sex with them, as HNGN previously reported.
