Accusers: Take Cosby’s Emmys Away
Five Cosby accusers appearing on CNN Monday night said they should take away his Emmys.

“I want him to suffer, suffer like we have suffered,” said P.J. Masten, who added that she wants his Emmy awards seized, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Victoria Valentino wants his honorary doctorate given by Temple University revoked as well. (Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarhis and Kristina Ruehli also shared their thoughts…
“He’s a predator,” said Masten. “He goes after women. And he’s not even a man. If you have to drug a woman to have sex with her, that’s not even a man, he’s a coward … a despicable coward.”
Cosby lawyer Marty Singer has since denied sexual assault claims.[su_csky_ad]

I feel sick by how I enjoyed his shows as a kid and now I find out he was a predator the whole time. These women had to live in a world where they were constantly reminded of how much love and respect their rapist received people world wide. Who wants to go up someone with that much power? They never had a chance to take him down by themselves, but now they have the numbers working for them and I hope this time justice is served.

I never did like him. I wonder now if my intuition was trying to tell me something.

I was never a big fan either. I thought he was corny.

Wow, these women are angry, loud and going for blood. Good!

so there is no chance any of the 5 will go out for a drink ?

I understand these women’s anger and the desire to have some justice, and I believe their stories but with the single case of the underage accusation, the statute of limitations has run its course on these crimes.
He has become a pariah and we see him for the man he is truly is but I can’t get on board with this demand. He has resigned his seat at Temple and the Navy has retracted his honorary title. The ladies are welcome to file a civil suit, have their day in court and at least be able to claim monetary damages as proof of his guilt. How does demanding his Emmys be seized solve anything?

It’s hard for people to separate the artist from the person. As guilty as it seems Cosby probably is, he made millions laugh. Woody Allen’s personal failings does not reflect on his film making abilities. Awards do not reflect the character of the individual.

Actually it has not. Many states, including California have one year from the time the crime is known to prosecute. The clock is now ticking.
Carla Akins December 10th, 2014 at 5:29 am
Not as I read it. The one year only applies if the survivor was a minor at the time or certain other conditions are met. None of which would apply to anyone but the minor claim. Legally, within the system it appears they are without recourse. Perhaps, I’m reading it wrong: https://rainn.org/public-policy/legal-resources/california/statutes-of-limitations

she is a minor, the case is about the 15 year old. These women are backing her up(in a way)

Meh.
“Let the name of Cosby be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken
from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of Hollywood. Let
the name of Cosby be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of
men for all time.”
Maybe we stop naming young boys “Bill”, next?
