Larry Wilmore on the Bill Cosby verdict: "I still haven't forgotten about you motherf*cker!"
-
Wilmore has had a special distaste for the iconic comedian, who was convicted of sexual assault today, making a point to devote the entire second episode of The Nightly Show on Comedy Central to his sexual misconduct allegations. "I still haven't forgotten about you motherf*cker!" Wilmore tweeted upon hearing the news. "More importantly, I haven't forgotten about the many women you assaulted and silenced with your power. Good riddance!!!" Wilmore's canceled show devoted a lot of time to Cosby, including an "I Haven't Forgotten About You, Motherf**ker Update." Wilmore explained his dislike of Cosby in The Hollywood Reporter in 2015: "He was never a hero of mine," he said. "I liked Cosby, but I have a different relationship with him than a lot of people because I didn't grow up on The Cosby Show." Also, Wilmore says, Cosby was an "a**hole" to him and his mom when they asked for his autograph when he was a kid.
