Heckler to Cosby: "Tell the One About How to Get Away With Rape"
With two more women coming forward Friday to accuse Bill Cosby of rape, the total number of sexual assault allegations against the famed comedian is nearing 40. He's still performing, but not without getting heckled at every turn.
At his Baltimore show Friday night, it took just 15 minutes before a protester shouted at Cosby about his many, many alleged crimes, the Baltimore City Paper reported. They posted a video of the encounter, showing a guy later identified as Michael Crook hollering "38 women called you a rapist!" and "Tell the one about how to get away with rape."
The crowd was on Cosby's side, and he told them to "remain calm" while they waited for security to escort Crook out of the building.
"We are here to enjoy my gift," he said. "We are not here to argue. Let those people speak. We will find them and ask them to leave."
On Friday, a woman named Margie Shapiro said Cosby took her to a Playboy Mansion guest house when she was 19, and challenged her to a game of pinball where the loser had to take a pill. She said she lost, took the pill, and blacked out.
"I am going to handle this the way I want it handled," Cosby said onstage later that night, responding to Crook's heckling, "I'm going to tell you some more jokes."
