Civil rights activists call for removal of Bill Cosby’s star from Hollywood

And if that didn’t make Cosby’s week, the Los Angeles Police Department told NPR on Tuesday it’s investigating at least one allegations of sexual assault against the comedian.

Following the unsealing of Bill Cosby’s 2005 deposition – in which he admitted giving women Quaaludes before sex – activists are calling on the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove Cosby’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Earlier this week, Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida, removed Bill Cosby’s statue from its theme park.

He testified he gave her three half-pills of the anti-histamine Benadryl. Once a prominent supporter of his alma mater, he resigned from Temple’s board of trustees late previous year.

“We were there; we remained silent; but no more”, Hutchinson said.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art in Washington pledged to continue showing art on loan from Cosby and his wife, Camille.

The mural was already under review to be decommissioned due to the deteriorating wall where it was painted under a train bridge, NBC 10 reports, however, a spokesperson said “recent headlines” were also a factor.

Little wonder that there was no immediate comment from Cosby since, as his attorney argued in an unsuccessful effort to keep the documents sealed, “it would be terribly embarrassing for this material to come out.” USA District Judge Eduardo Robreno was right to rule that potential embarrassment insufficient.

Various other outlets reached out to CAA and received confirmation that Cosby is no longer on its roster, which means that he is currently unrepped in a town that has been closing doors on him and withdrawing opportunities for months now.

Excerpts of a deposition given by Cosby in a 2005 civil sexual abuse case filed by a Philadelphia woman and settled under confidential terms were unsealed Monday. He has been accused of sexually assaulting close to 40 women spanning five decades. Most of the allegations are barred by statutes of limitations. No criminal charges have ever been brought.
