Bill Cosby's spokesperson fires back at W. Kamau Bell's We Need to Talk About Cosby ahead of Sunday's premiere
-
In a statement to People, Cosby's spokesperson calls Bell's four-part docuseries examining the disgraced comedian's legacy a "PR hack." "Let's talk about Bill Cosby," the statement reads. "Mr. Cosby has spent more than 50 years standing with the excluded; made it possible for some to be included; standing with the disenfranchised; and standing with those women and men who were denied respectful work … because of race and gender … within the expanses of the entertainment industries. Let's talk about Bill Cosby. Mr. Cosby continues to be the target of numerous media that have, for too many years, distorted and omitted truths … intentionally. Despite media's repetitive reports of allegations against Mr. Cosby."
