This week yet another woman has come forward to accuse iconic comedian Bill Cosby of drugging and raping her in the past. According to the latest scandal news updates, Cindra Ladd, wife to famed Hollywood executive Alan Ladd, Jr., revealed Monday that she believes without a doubt that The Cosby Show dad sexually assaulted her back in 1969, when she was just 21-years-old. Fellow veteran comedians, Jay Leno and Larry Wilmore, of The Tonight Show and The Nightly Show respectively, both have publically announced that they believe The Cos to be 100 percent guilty even if his wife, Camille, does not. Both late night TV show hosts also seemed frustrated that Cosby's innocence was still up for debate publicly -- given the ridiculous amount of woman that have accused the Jell-O pudding poster boy of sexual criminality.
In a heartbreaking account on her Huffington Post blog, Cindra Ladd revealed last Monday that she too believes she was raped after being drugged by a sexually deviant, Bill Cosby.
Cindra recalls that after being offered a mysterious pill for her headache one evening, she went into an incoherent state, and when she awoke the next day, to her horror, she realized that she had been violated:
"For more than 45 years I have tried to recall exactly what happened that night.
"What I do recall, vividly and clearly, is waking up the next morning nude in the bed of his friend's apartment and seeing Cosby wearing a white terrycloth bathrobe and acting as if there was nothing unusual.
"It was obvious to me that he had had sex with me."
After telling her tragic story, Ladd goes on to explain that she hasn't come forward until now, because she lacked the terminology at the time to even realize she'd been victimized by a serial rapist:
"When this happened to me, the idea of drugging someone and raping them was almost fantastical.
"It was years before 'date rape' drugs made the news, but it was a perfect modus operandi for a predator, rendering his victim unconscious or so incapacitated as to be unable to clearly answer police questions about the incident."
While the talk from Cosby apologists has been quick to point out the lack of convictions and the infallibility of the due process of law, Nightly Show host Larry Wilmore explained on his show that that shouldn't distract the public from the truth so plainly in front of their faces (via The Wrap):
"People are innocent until proven guilty in the court of law, but this is the court of public opinion, and this is my show -- that f-cker did it.
"We don't have to turn off our brain just because the law says we're not supposed to make assumptions...Those stories are way too specific about it."
Jay Leno expressed a similar sentiment when recently speaking at a conference in Miami -- explaining that even in countries where women don't enjoy the same rights they have in the United States, more than 20 women accusing a man of raping them wouldn't be brushed aside so lightly (via The Wrap):
"I don't know why it's so hard to believe women.
"You to go Saudi Arabia and you need two women to testify against a man.
"Here you need 25."
Sadly, you may need a whole lot more than that if you even plan to bring Bill Cosby to justice.
