Former ‘Cosby’ kid, Malcolm-Jamal Warner who rendered many laughs at his expense as the only son of Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable played by now embattled and disgraced comedian Bill Cosby visited the ladies of The View on Friday and expectedly had a lot to say about the sex scandal that has literally destroyed his “TV dad”.
I will try to keep this short and sweet because it won’t be a pleasant experience expressing my utter disbelief at the realization that the man that I used to pretend was my father has turned out to be the big bad wolf.
A big shaggy, frightful predator masked under the disguise of a well-groomed, well-spoken, well-choreographed representative who operated under the name, Bill Cosby. It was just by lucky strokes that I became a disciple of The Cosby Show. Born in the United States but bred in Lagos, Nigeria, my mother worked for the Nigerian Television Authority, and her duty was to secure programming from around the world. She did a magnificent job, I can attest to that. From The Beachcombers to Fawlty Towers, my world expanded and blossomed accordingly.
Who knew being a Huxtable kid could work against you especially when you are a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice?
Embattled comedian Bill Cosby is definitely not ending the year on a good note. The past couple of months have been an intense litany of putrid accusations that have done an immaculate job tarnishing what was seemingly a flawed reputation.
