Malcolm-Jamal Warner Discusses Bill Cosby Allegations

Malcolm-Jamal Warner will be on The Real Monday, but the show has released a clip in advance. He was asked for his thoughts about how reruns of The Cosby Show have been taken off the air because of multiple allegations of drugging, sexual assault, and rape by Bill Cosby.

Warner has lost a source of revenue because the show is off the air. “It’s literally taking money out of my pocket,” he said. “So I got my own personal feelings about that, because it personally affects me.” The sitcom star said he has noticed the outrage seems to be hypocritical, seemingly pointing out a racial bias. “I can’t help but think about Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, Stephen Collins, um, who it’s very clear … um, you know, the crimes they’ve committed, but there’s no one that, you know, has been calling for Woody’s movies to be pulled off the air. Roman Polanski is still celebrated.”

That being said, he declined to support his former television dad. “I am in no position to defend him because I can’t,” he said. “But nor will I throw him under the bus.”
