‘Girls Trip’ actress Tiffany Haddish recently expressed her desire to work with former Television icon, Bill Cosby – however the manner in which she addressed it ended up generating outrage.
Cosby, who’s been accused of ‘drugging and sexual molestation’ of a vast number of women over the coarse of his long career – has become a subject of public scrutiny and criticism, as a shocking number his former female co-stars and co-workers have come out with similar allegations over the years.
While speaking of her desire to work with Cosby during an interview with Los Angeles Times, Haddish ended up mocking the sexual assault situation.
“I still want to work with Bill Cosby,” she said. “I don’t care, I’ll drink the juice. I’ll drink the juice. I’ll take a nap. I don’t give a damn. But seriously, I would love for him to play my grandfather in something.”
Gloria Allred, the attorney who has represented several of the women who accused Cosby of drugging and assaulting them over the years, criticized Haddish’s “bad sense of humor.”
“These allegations against Mr. Cosby are serious and not funny and should not be made the subject matter of attempted humor,” Allred said. “Ms. Haddish should consider apologizing to those individuals who have been victims of sexual assault after being drugged.”
Do you think Tiffany went too far with the “joke”?
