After weeks of remaining mum, Bill Cosby broke his silent streak as his spoke in the wake of his rape and sexual assault allegations.
The 77-year-old comedian and TV star recently spoke to reporter Stacy Brown for the New York Post regarding the stance of African-American media during this tumultuous time.
"Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that, you have to go in with a neutral mind," Cosby said during his phone conversation with Brown.
This marks as the second comment Cosby has made since the bevy of accusations surfaced as he's chosen to stay away from the media.
Back in November, Cosby initially spoke out on the allegations, telling Florida Today, "I know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn't have to answer to innuendos. People should fact check. People shouldn't have to go through that and shouldn't answer to innuendos."
During his brief interview with the New York Post, the much maligned comedian took time to praise his wife of 50 years Camille Cosby.
“Love and the strength of womanhood,” he said in reference to the woman who has stayed by his side throughout this time. “Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And, you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love.”
