Zoe Kravitz Says Mom Lisa Bonet Is ‘Disgusted And Concerned’ By Bill Cosby Accusations

Lisa Bonet played Bill Cosby's television daughter on his hit TV series, "The Cosby Show," but the actress has not spoken out publicly about the more than 50 women who accused the comedian of sexual abuse. However, according to her daughter Zoe Kravitz, Bonet's feelings echo those of the public.

Kravitz revealed in an interview that her mother tended to keep her mouth shut when it came to the scandal.

"She hasn't, she really hasn't [talked]," Kravitz told The Guardian. "She'd plead the fifth, even to me. I think she's just staying out of it. She's just as disgusted and concerned as everyone else is, but I don't think she has any insight. It's news to her as well."

Although Kravitz insisted her mother did not know anything regarding the sexual abuse scandal, she did understand why people thought her mom knew something.

"She was on the show for a long time. She's also a beautiful woman. It makes people wonder. She's a very straightforward person. If there was something she felt the world needed to know that would help this case or help any women who had been abused, she would say something," Kravitz said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Bonet played Denise Huxtable, a daughter of Cosby's character Cliff Huxtable from 1984 to 1991, according to E! News. She was reportedly fired from the show at the age of 23 due to creative differences.
