Considering Testifying

May 25, 2017 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] As the Bill Cosby trial spins up, there is a Hollywood star who is considering testifying on his behalf!

Yes, you read that correctly. While most of Cosby’s old pals want nothing to do with him and are trying hard to distance themselves from the trial, one man may actually step up to defend Cosby.

Why?

It’s a quid pro quo kind of thing. He is scared that he’s going to get dragged into the discussion about what they all used to do back then to get girls to have sex with them, and then his reputation will get ruined because he used to do something similar. He wants a guarantee that if he stands up for Bill, Bill’s attorneys will keep him from getting accused of anything. It would be kind of like getting immunity. Deal isn’t done yet.

The man we are talking about is a well-known performer who is now over 50 years old.

    Lou Ferrigno? There were stories of him going on dates with girls with Cosby and the girls being drugged.

      But could it be Rev. Jesse Jackson? Testifying?

    I don’t get this at all. Only ppl who’ve defended BC have awful reps, and what jury would believe Damon Wayans or Eddie Griffin on anything? Unless it’s someone w a wholesome rep, it wouldn’t help BC, & would damage rep of whoever testifies. With “testify” & other Christian/preacher type words,
    I say a famous black preacher type? Al Sharpton? Who?
    Oh crap-Harry Belafonte plays PREACHER in a film. His character is called Preacher, and he is a fake. Walks around w a big bible. Pray I’m…

    It’s going to be career suicide for whoever it is. How can being a character witness for Bill Cosby possibly do them any good.

    I don’t think it is Nicholson because he retired from acting due to memory issues. Steve Harvey -no, not in the mix in those days. Beatty-no, Annette Bening would nix it. That leaves Hef and James Caan from that group. Hef is not an actor, so that leaves Caan, but I doubt he is the one. It’s got to be someone flying under the radar for a long time. Cosby’s lawyers can’t guarantee that he would get a type of immunity from prosecution. They are probably hearing the actor out to find a defense.

    David Hasselhoff.

  7. Xanadu says

    May 26, 2017 at 5:34 am

    Eddie Murphy

    Realistically, I can’t see any male celeb testifying for him. Why would anyone unleash that kind of creepy connection on themselves?

    • Xanadu says

      May 26, 2017 at 5:53 am

      Alternative: Damon Wayans – who called the women who came forward “unrapeable”.

      (I hope he never works again)

  8. palmtreeenthusiast says

    May 26, 2017 at 5:22 am

    This is disgusting, and I don’t see how BC’s attorneys can stop women from coming forward and trying to have him prosecuted. I understand the statute of limitations has likely expired on all offenses, but defense lawyers can’t control prosecution. Not legally anyhow. I hope he takes the “deal,” testifies on BC’s behalf, and then is made to be a liar and a scam artist after the fact. Creepy creepy rapists.

    Gosh, it could be anyone. I was raised in the 70s, and have heard of stories like this as far back as I can remember. Cosby certainly wasn’t the only one! The casting couch, voluntarily or involuntarily, was pretty much known as a rite of passage back then. Hollywood has always been full of perverts, I do believe.

  11. kellyinchains says

    Jack Nicholson? Just a guess.

    Optional: Nope!

    Actually, it’s probably Tom Jones in this particular case.
    Optional: Nope!

  15. Insiderher says

    May 25, 2017 at 5:54 pm

    This is VERY tough-since anyone testifying FOR Cosby would need to have an impeccable reputation to be taken at all seriously. ONLY male celebs with clean reps & close Cosby friendship I hate to even name-Poitier and Belafonte. Neither has said a word directly about Cos-so it seems unlikely either would ruin their reps by testifying.
    Actor/celebs Cosby hung with were Playboy pol-Nicholson, Beatty, James Caan
    Hef will not speak and who’d listen anyway? ALL have awful reps
    I vote James Caan

  16. Catfink says

    Steve Harvey?

  17. Aurelia says

    May 25, 2017 at 4:16 pm

    Robert Blake?
    Optional: Nope, he testifies the defense is still going to eviscerate him.

    • hazura jane says

      May 27, 2017 at 7:19 am

      Pretty sure Robert Blake is in the slammer for offing his wife.

    • parkland45 says

      May 28, 2017 at 7:33 pm

      Blake wasn’t convicted. You’re thinking of Phil Spector.

    Is Norm Crosby still alive?

    He should do the right thing.

    I hope it is not Quincey Jones, but that is my guess.

    Hugh Hefner?

    • Vampira says

      May 25, 2017 at 1:14 pm

      Oops…he’s not a performer….but he was in the blinds as sort of an accomplice on occasions.

  24. Brunettetalk says

    May 25, 2017 at 12:56 pm

    Jack Nicholson. Harrison ford. Mel Gibson.

    • ChattyCat says

      May 26, 2017 at 8:56 am

      Mel Gibson would’ve been in Australia at the time….looking very handsome and not needing to lure women into bed through debauched tactics

    • Mia444 says

      May 26, 2017 at 3:00 pm

      That’s the rationalization so many people use to defend rapists: They’re good looking, they can have their pick of anyone, why resort to assault? Because they enjoy it! I’m not saying that Mel Gibson is guilty of anything except being an *, only that being handsome (as he once was) does not preclude engaging in dirty deeds so let’s squelch that erroneous logic.

    • ninanicole says

      May 27, 2017 at 8:11 am

      I don’t see any of them needing or even wanting to drug anyone, they were huge stars coming out of the gate and they’re all charismatic ladies men. And I don’t think they were bffs with Cosby lol

  25. Pinky310 says

    May 25, 2017 at 12:48 pm

    Sidney Portier

  26. BunnieBoo says

    May 25, 2017 at 12:31 pm

    I’m guessing Harry Belafonte or Sidney Poitier. They were very close in the 60s and 70s

    • TheSalmon says

      May 26, 2017 at 3:38 pm

      WOW.
      well, that would certainly shock a lot of people, and ruin their reps.
      But frankly, so will testifying FOR Bill Cosby, right?

  27. algarve2016 says

    May 25, 2017 at 12:28 pm

    Robin Thicke

    I think the guy had better testify. His reputation is practically toast, and this would end his career and his fun times would be over.

    • ChattyCat says

      May 26, 2017 at 8:54 am

      Didn’t Robin die not so long ago???

    • wendy2407 says

      May 26, 2017 at 12:18 pm

      That was Alan, and I think that’s probably who the guesser meant, because Robin is a lot younger than Cosby.

    • PollyMetropolitan says

      May 26, 2017 at 1:08 pm

      Alan Thicke died. Robin wouldn’t have been hanging around Cosby.

    • Mia444 says

      May 26, 2017 at 2:57 pm

      No, only his career did. Alan was the Thicke who died.

    • palmtreeenthusiast says

      May 28, 2017 at 6:55 am

      Hilarious

    • TheSalmon says

      May 26, 2017 at 3:36 pm

      Pretty sure you are both thinking of Alan Thicke. And yes, he died. Robin is the scummy son and not old enough to fit these clues.

    • mpizzle says

      May 26, 2017 at 5:45 pm

      Wishful thinking.

      It was his dad, Alan.

    • High Steppa says

      May 26, 2017 at 5:57 pm

      No, that was Alan, his father.

    • Cdubbz09 says

      May 26, 2017 at 7:21 pm

      His father, Alan, died in December and Robin doesn’t fit the over 50 clue.

    • lola2233 says

      May 26, 2017 at 8:04 pm

      His dad Alan, not Robin.

    • Gummeduptheworks says

      May 27, 2017 at 9:55 am

      Alan

    • luvprue1 says

      May 26, 2017 at 6:56 pm

      Robin Thicke is only 40 and had no influence back in the day. He was probably just a college kid back then. …However if you meant Alan Thicke, he died this year so it can’t be him.

      May 26, 2017 at 9:38 am

      Bingo. Cosby practically lived at the Playboy Mansion in the 70s-80s.

    • itstarapagain says

      May 27, 2017 at 8:13 am

      Yes and there was also their very own Dr. Feelgood who was a regular at the Mansion. Dr. Saginor who prescribed downers, Including ludes. His daughter Jennifer wrote a book that is

    • Tequila Mama says

      May 26, 2017 at 11:08 am

      Ding ding ding, I think you are right. I believe in an interview (along time ago) Bill Cosby mentioned that he got the quaaludes from Hugh Hefner.

    • cheezymoses says

      May 26, 2017 at 11:30 am

      That was my first guess, but he’s not a performer.

    • PollyMetropolitan says

      May 26, 2017 at 1:09 pm

      He did have a show at one time, so maybe??? I think of him more of a celebrity, though.

    • TheSalmon says

      May 26, 2017 at 3:35 pm

      Also, he’s not likely to worry about ruining his rep with drug use. Don’t think anybody will be surprised or scandalized to learn there were lots of drugs at the Playboy Mansion in the 70s.

    • spaceship says

      May 26, 2017 at 12:27 pm

      At his advanced age, why would he even care about his reputation?

    • Catfink says

      May 27, 2017 at 5:41 am

      But didn’t Hugh distance himself from Cosby? God I want this to be Hugh, this will DESTROY his legacy.

  30. kimmukwest says

    Eddie Murphy or Jim Carrey
    Whoever it is should go down with Bill. Sick

    Steve Harvey

    • huhwhoami says

      May 26, 2017 at 7:38 am

      I was thinking Steve might not have been relevant enough way back, but Bill Maher was in the mix back then.
