After the first few rape allegations began to surface against Bill Cosby, we here at ILoveOldSchoolMusic decided to report on this topic very delicately, because we recognize that we have a responsibility to give you, our ILOSM family, accurate information at all times.
That responsibility is something we take very seriously and we do not want to sway our ILOSM family in any direction- positive or negative, without proven, factual evidence from all parties involved in these serious allegations.
Since we initially reported on the first few women who made the initial sexual assault allegations against Cosby, we think it’s only fair that we also report on what someone from Cosby’s side has to say. Yesterday the internet started buzzing about Bill’s and his wife, Camille’s youngest daughter, Evin Cosby, who’s recently been publicly addressing, on her Facebook page, her thoughts on the accusations against her Dad.
Here’s what she said (via MadameNoire):

I would like to thank EVERYONE that has been sharing, voicing and putting their beautiful positive energy out there for me and my family. There will always be jealous, vengeful and crazy people out there to break anyone down. Everyday we wake up and appreciate the love and support from everyone. There’s more positive in life then we think. It’s the BS that can be overwhelming. We keep fighting each day. The challenges in life can only make us stronger. The ones that are angry can’t live as easy as the ones that can love, RESPECT and not to find the easy way out by making FALSE accusations. It’s a shame how some people sit behind the computer waiting for bad things to happen to someone. Isn’t it easier to be happy? And to want the best for someone that has done such great things in life? It could be a friend, a family or a pet…. Just be HAPPY! It’s waaaaay easier. Thank you again!

She also released a statement to Access Hollywood:

Then, again on her Facebook page:

Rape is a serious allegation and it is suppose to be taken VERY seriously but so is Falsely accusing someone. When someone rapes a person they go to prison. THAT should also happen to the person that has wrongfully accused an innocent victim. They are not ONLY destroying innocent people’s life they are ALSO making it hard for the MEN and Women to find justice when they have been raped.

See what else she said on the next page…
Love her because she stood up for her father. In my heart he is an innocent man and there is someone destroying his career with all this BS.
Jackie that’s an interesting point. Only time will tell if this is BS and I hope whatever the truth is regarding these allegations are eventually proven beyond any reasonable doubt and not just simply alleged. I remember seeing a very similar situation happen with Michael Jackson, only for it to eventually come out many years later that he was set up. So I’m definitely not saying that these women are lying, I’m just saying that I don’t know who to trust anymore. Therefore the only thing we can all trust now are the 100% proven facts. If Bill Cosby did what those women are alleging than he deserves every ounce of backlash he’s been getting, but if he did not, shame on whomever is plotting against him in that case. In the meantime, I’ll just remain neutral until the facts come out. Thanks for giving us your take on this one my friend…appreciate ya.’
