“America’s favorite dad” has been on the receiving end of some bad press recently since numerous women came forward accusing him of drugging and sexually assaulting them. But the 77-year-old comedian is apparently not fazed by all the negative press. He is not allowing those allegations to slow him down.
During a performance before a crowd last night in Ontario, Cosby saw a woman leave her seat and began exiting the auditorium. He asked where she was going to which she replied, “getting a drink.” She then asked Cosby if he wanted a drink too. Cosby replied that he already had one then told the woman, “but, you know, you should be careful drinking around me,” as reported by Richard Warnica, a reporter from the National Post in Toronto.
“The whole audience sort of ‘Ohhhed,'” Warnica added. “It was just this sort of shocking moment.”
Shortly after the joke, a heckler yelled during the performance and was removed. The heckler was in addition to more than 100 protesters who were outside the arena last night.
After the show, Cosby released a new statement from his publicist, saying “One outburst but over 2600 loyal, patient and courageous fans enjoyed the most wonderful medicine that exist for human-kind. Laughter. I thank you… I’m Far From Finished.”
Cosby has denied any allegations of wrongdoing ever since allegations first surfaced in 2004. More women came forward late last year, to which his lawyer released a statement early on saying, “The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true.”
