Bill Cosby Breaks Silence to Thank Whoopi Goldberg for Supporting Him
Rape accusations against Bill Cosby keep coming, but the comedian has yet to comment on any of them. Last night, however, he broke his silence on Twitter to thank Whoopi Goldberg and singer Jill Scott for supporting him. Both Goldberg and Scott have pointed out the lack of "rape kit evidence" to back up the allegations against Cosby.
Thank you @MissJillScott, from the Cosby Family.

On The View last month, Goldberg said she had "a lot of questions" for accuser Barbara Bowman, like, "Don't you do a kit when you say someone has raped you? Isn't that the next step once you make an allegation?"
Scott defended Cosby on Twitter after feminist activist Shelby Knox asked her to sign a petition regarding Temple University's now-severed relationship with Cosby.
@ShelbyKnox oh ok. So they've proven the alleged allegations? I didn't know. Will they also be giving him back the millions he's donated?

Rape is a despicable, cowardly crime. If you've been raped- plz do NOT shower, go to police IMMEDIATELY, have a rap kit done. GET EVIDENCE.

Cosby will probably always have his defenders.
