Bill Cosby spoke his mind about Micheal Jackson’s and Whitney Houston’s deaths and let’s just say, that he doesn’t care if their families like his opinion or not. See what we mean when you flip the page…
Since most of us did not know Michael or Whitney nor their family members we cannot say what the family did or did not do. When you step on the inside of any situation as opposed to viewing it from the outside you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find out. It is hard for many of us to just say “I do not know what went on.” Some of us just have to come to our own conclusions, which is not a wise way of thinking.

This is a no win situation. We lost two gifted performers, we don’t know what was happening in their heads. I try to remember the reason I loved them for sharing their gift..

Maybe someone should have tried to stop Bill Cosby from sexually harassing women over the years. He was paying a woman child support for 25yrs for a child that he thought was his. He always has so much to say about how other people should conduct their lives, while his is not pristine. Go sit down Bill!

A person has to want help, you can’t watch them 24 hours, if they didn’t want help, what was the family suppose to do, a addict will find a way to get high no matter what, both are gone way too soon.

I think Bill’s issues have more to deal with himself. While he spent so many years portraying the “court jester” on television, he likely wishes he spent that valuable on – air personality to instill pride and purpose. It seems that now in his final years, he has adopted that direction. It’s a shame that all those years were wasted making faces holding a pudding pop. Michael and Whitney were grown adults, and were responsible for their own actions and deeds.. Don’t blame family…just say NO!

Bill spoke his mind. Can’t be mad at him for that. On the same note though. Bill has had some personal issues himself so he may want to chill splurging on the opinions of others and their problems…

I believe Cosby’s telling the truth. But I’m no angel. I’ve done drugs and alcohol. And I cheated on my relationships, and I wont do it any longer. I’ve asked Father God through Christ Jesus for forgiveness and wont live in my sinful ways an further. Now that said. I believe 100% Michael Jackson was a pedophile. And that he wasn’t just a drug addict but he was a gay pedophile as well. F U MJ!

Sad but true, most celebrities do drugs. I can imagine that some days they wake up and dont feel like stars at all. They probably feel like most of us do. Those drugs probably made them feel better they could afford it and that is what they did. Bodies have pain issues Micheal danced and danced very well instead of complaining to people he probably just used all this pain medication which also allowed him to not have to live in reality. Dont we all wish that we could actually survive in never never land somewhat and get away with it? Micheal and Whitney were adults and responsible. Drugs arent good for anyone ever prescribed or illegal. These cause depression as they start thinking the normal feeling is to be high. Their families tried eventually they just had to live with it. They knew what the outcomes were going to eventually be. As it always is death some how.

we have heard MJ’s mother speak and Whitney’s mother; they could do nothing about their addiction; they were with yes people for money; not love, and this continues with others, they do nothing or can’t do anything, I know some of these people.

A lot of people have said the same thing Cosby saying this is nothing new. Let’s use Whitney’s case, she had a lot of people around her. She had famous god mothers Aretha Franklin, famous cousins Dionne Warwick, and father figure producer Clive Davis

I think Bill has a valid point and should also be more considerate and should also mind his own business. Here it is: MJ and Whitney’s family cannot MAKE a grown person do what is necessary in their lives. You can try to influence and inspire but MAKE? No. Now Bill should realise that and be more considerate of those that are obviously in pain. I’m glad no one came to me after my mother died in my arms and said I should have known CPR and may have possibly saved her life. I have to live with that torment in my mind everyday anyway. Also, Bill – people that live in glass houses should not throw stones. And truthfully, everybody has a glass house if you’ved lived to a certain age. R.I.P. Michael, Whitney and my Mom.

I feel that the Jackson’s and the Houston’s could have done more, Brittany Spears’ parents stepped in and so have Amanda Byne’s parents. So I feel that Bill Cosby has a good point.

Listen to yourselves isn’t that easy what you’re saying,how about trying to physically do something til you do you are right you haven’t done nothing. That’s what Bill is saying even if you have to tie them up with a rope well you just did something that’s simply what he is saying, not blaming…

Ia understand what Mr. Cosby was saying. It was something that needed to be said!! Everyone knows but does nothing to help the situation until its to late! I did not personally know either one but have dealt with this kind of situation. But, he makes a valid point.

I think Mr. Cosby is wrong in blaming the families. You can talk to them and pray for them but it’s up to them to get the help that they need but they first have to realize that they are in need of that help.

Concerning Families and addiction, I feel that Ms. Tracey Hudson, who’s comment is posted on this forum…..Hits The Nail On the Head. If Families could really save an individual from addiction there wouldn’t be any addicts.
A person has to want help. Mr. Cosby Michael and Whitney are no longer with us. Why make comments about them now. Did you ever get help for using the date rape drug to rape women. The pot can’t talk about the kettle.

As someone who has experienced this from both sided’s of the coin…I understand what Mr. Cosby is saying…families can enable…however, they were adults and ultimately…when fighting addiction, you take no prisoners other than yourself. It’s your personal hell and you are certainly in denial. Its easier said than done…I am sure they were both offered help, and to some extent ended living secluded lives as their addictions progressed…we can force someone into rehab, but what good is that if they don’t want help…they just end up becoming more distant and in some cases cut all ties…I know this for a fact…most addicts don’t intentionally want to hurt family…they want to be loved and excepted, they want to be “normal” not always looking from the outside in. Its complex and its very difficult for all involved…Dr Feelgood was very aware of what he was doing…that is who I am upset with!!
It is quite bold of Mr Bill Cosby to say those things that are true, but pointless now that they are both dead! You as family can only do so much and as the saying goes; you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink!
Mr Cosby wants everyone to be as strong as he, but that is not the case.
We their fans are truly broken by their death’s but they are gone now.
To say such things to a still grieving family is very insensitive, but that seems to be how Bill Cosby rolls. Hope no one in his family ever dies of an addiction!

I don’t know about Whitney but I know much about MJ. He was a recluse. Kept himself away from his family. He didn’t want to see them. His entire family had to make appointments to see him except his mother. She could come when she got ready, which leads me to believe if she was allowed in whenever she wanted to come, she had access to his life beyond the gates and security. I don’t think for a moment she would have let MJ spiral out of control. She’s too strong for that. So the only conclusion to make is he must be still alive. Whitney’s body was at the funeral, but where was MJ’s body!!!

he’s kind of right some times you have to do a little more only if you can take natilie cole for instance her mother took her to court to get control of her well being(money) until she came to her senses–now look at her–maybe it’s more of not knowing what to do–

@Michael Red Walls, I think his demons are being an adulterer, not the father he portrayed on tv, a big mouth opinionated bigot and yes a racist at times. . His comedy acts may have been clean but his personal life was /is muddied up.
This is my opinion of Bill Cosby. I didn’t care for him before and I care less for him now.

Bill needs to sit his old self down and stop seeking publicity after all these years . If I recall he had some personal issues within himself and his family , pertaining to drugs and infidelity . So what gives him the right to speak on other people’s problems within their family.

their families knew what they were doing and tried to help but they were adults and you can’t help an adult not unless you have a court order to make decisions for them. When Whitney’s mom tried to get her into rehab Whitney said that she would never speak to her again and was very angry with her. Michael Jackson’s family tried to and Mike had them barred from seeing him. He told the security team to bar them from coming to his house. So what can they do? Just pray and leave it to GOD because if you don’t stop, GOD will stop you!
Mr. Cosby is only heard when critical of others. Why? I would like to express that child development starts in the home and it is not easy if your trying to fix your own demons while raising children. All of the Jacksons kids haven’t died from abuse so 1 out of the group(Jackson Family) isn’t bad odds for now. The Best To All Black Celebrity Artist.

Just because you may not know about the inner situation doesn’t change what is right. People try to complicate situations to make themselves feel better. Bill is right and nothing can change that. It’s simple! The only complication is the only one you give.
It’s not the families responsibility. Over 18 years old you’re responsible for your own actions. Bill Cosby talk down about black people when sometimes it’s not necessary like he said get a job well it’s not take easy for some to just get a job.

Michael and Whitney had enough money to run from there family’s help if they didn’t want it. How can you help a person who can leave the country at a drop of a dime, and you still trying to get a ride to the airport, seriously and literally. They had all the money and power in there family’s all tou ciuld do is try to get around the body gaurds and suggest help its still up to them, no force feed.

We all have that family member that “can’t get right”. It’s exhausting, stressful and heartbreaking watching them spiral out of control. You do everything you can. Try to help as much as possible but in the end, it has to be them to do the real work of getting help. I appreciate Bill’s opinion but the families are hurt enough. I believe they DID do all that they could. We shouldn’t judge them and place all the blame on them. Afterall we weren’t there and aren’t there now. We’re on the outside looking in.

I Love Old School Music read the books Remember The Time and Defending a King. They are first hand biographies of people who close to Michael Jackson. Two of which were with him up to the point of his rehearsals of This Is It. His mother was welcome in the home he lived in whenever she wanted to come. She could see her grandkids at her leisure. Everyone else had to go through channels to see him. Yes he had a addiction, but his family was unconcerned with that. They were more in tune with his money. And his security team knew that. I know people that worked with Michael and I have spoken to people who were employed by MJ at Neverland. He was recluse for more than his addiction. He was afraid to face the cruel world that always had a negative opinion about him.

Good point Bill… But what could you have done to save your son’s life? Was it lack of family communication. I feel sadness for all families. There is no real answer or solution.

I agree with most of what Mr. Crosby is saying. Being a parent, I Would have gotten help to them. Even if I had to violate thiers rights as adults or thiers Celebrity status.
Both Mothers should have been more in thiers children business. I believe A.E.G., are eligible responsible for Michael Jackson death than Dr. Murray.

First off Bill..No Addict cannot stop unless they want to no matter how hard the family or anyone else tries. Yes you have a right to your own opinion, but to blame the families for there deaths is wrong(in my opinion). NO ONE CAN MAKE AN ADDICT STOP USING UNLESS THEY ARE COMPLETELY READY TO STOP….i KNOW THIS FOR A FACT.

What Bill is missing here is when you are the star bringing in the money, as Michael and Whitney were….nobody wants to rock the boat. They were both likely lavishing family members with gifts and paying their bills. The worst thing you can do to an addict is tell them what they MUST do. That does not work. They have to be ready to release it own their own, for their own reasons. When the decision to stop comes from inside them, it is usually definite and permanent.

As a recovering addict you can’t stop anyone from using if they don’t want too. We all have opinions. Opinions doesn’t stop anyone from using. Wanting to stop does.

As much as I love Bill Cosby, someone should pose the following question to him about his daughter that was rumored to have had a drug problem. How did someone who came from such successful parents end up dabbling in such? Or would he like someone to speak so “self-righteously” about the murder of his son?

Mr. Cosby might want to do a little more research on this. According to Cissy Houston, she got a warrant to enter Whitney’s home and took two sheriffs with her. She told Bobby Brown, if you interfere, the sheriffs will take you down. She looked at her daughter, Whitney and said, I’m not losing you to Satan – and they took her to rehab. Cissy DID try. But this addiction is mighty.

Since most of us did not know Michael or Whitney nor their family members we cannot say what the family did or did not do. When you step on the inside of any situation as opposed to viewing it from the outside you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find out. It is hard for many of us to just say “I do not know what went on.” Some of us just have to come to our own conclusions, which is not a wise way of thinking.

This is a no win situation. We lost two gifted performers, we don’t know what was happening in their heads. I try to remember the reason I loved them for sharing their gift..
Its old news now. Speculations can’t bring them back. Why we cannot simply celebrate their lives, I will never know.
WAY too many ads to try and read through these articles…I’m done.

Maybe someone should have tried to stop Bill Cosby from sexually harassing women over the years. He was paying a woman child support for 25yrs for a child that he thought was his. He always has so much to say about how other people should conduct their lives, while his is not pristine. Go sit down Bill!

A person has to want help, you can’t watch them 24 hours, if they didn’t want help, what was the family suppose to do, a addict will find a way to get high no matter what, both are gone way too soon.

You cannot force anyone to stop doing drugs. Whitney, and MJ were adults, with their own money. No one was going to stop them.

I think Bill’s issues have more to deal with himself. While he spent so many years portraying the “court jester” on television, he likely wishes he spent that valuable on – air personality to instill pride and purpose. It seems that now in his final years, he has adopted that direction. It’s a shame that all those years were wasted making faces holding a pudding pop. Michael and Whitney were grown adults, and were responsible for their own actions and deeds.. Don’t blame family…just say NO!

Bill spoke his mind. Can’t be mad at him for that. On the same note though. Bill has had some personal issues himself so he may want to chill splurging on the opinions of others and their problems…

I believe Cosby’s telling the truth. But I’m no angel. I’ve done drugs and alcohol. And I cheated on my relationships, and I wont do it any longer. I’ve asked Father God through Christ Jesus for forgiveness and wont live in my sinful ways an further. Now that said. I believe 100% Michael Jackson was a pedophile. And that he wasn’t just a drug addict but he was a gay pedophile as well. F U MJ!

Sad but true, most celebrities do drugs. I can imagine that some days they wake up and dont feel like stars at all. They probably feel like most of us do. Those drugs probably made them feel better they could afford it and that is what they did. Bodies have pain issues Micheal danced and danced very well instead of complaining to people he probably just used all this pain medication which also allowed him to not have to live in reality. Dont we all wish that we could actually survive in never never land somewhat and get away with it? Micheal and Whitney were adults and responsible. Drugs arent good for anyone ever prescribed or illegal. These cause depression as they start thinking the normal feeling is to be high. Their families tried eventually they just had to live with it. They knew what the outcomes were going to eventually be. As it always is death some how.

Good for you,telling it like it is.A tragic needless waste of two very talented people.

we have heard MJ’s mother speak and Whitney’s mother; they could do nothing about their addiction; they were with yes people for money; not love, and this continues with others, they do nothing or can’t do anything, I know some of these people.

A lot of people have said the same thing Cosby saying this is nothing new. Let’s use Whitney’s case, she had a lot of people around her. She had famous god mothers Aretha Franklin, famous cousins Dionne Warwick, and father figure producer Clive Davis

I think Bill has a valid point and should also be more considerate and should also mind his own business. Here it is: MJ and Whitney’s family cannot MAKE a grown person do what is necessary in their lives. You can try to influence and inspire but MAKE? No. Now Bill should realise that and be more considerate of those that are obviously in pain. I’m glad no one came to me after my mother died in my arms and said I should have known CPR and may have possibly saved her life. I have to live with that torment in my mind everyday anyway. Also, Bill – people that live in glass houses should not throw stones. And truthfully, everybody has a glass house if you’ved lived to a certain age. R.I.P. Michael, Whitney and my Mom.

I feel that the Jackson’s and the Houston’s could have done more, Brittany Spears’ parents stepped in and so have Amanda Byne’s parents. So I feel that Bill Cosby has a good point.

Listen to yourselves isn’t that easy what you’re saying,how about trying to physically do something til you do you are right you haven’t done nothing. That’s what Bill is saying even if you have to tie them up with a rope well you just did something that’s simply what he is saying, not blaming…

Ia understand what Mr. Cosby was saying. It was something that needed to be said!! Everyone knows but does nothing to help the situation until its to late! I did not personally know either one but have dealt with this kind of situation. But, he makes a valid point.
A person got to want to get help..it’s that simple. .I don’t care how much money they have. .if they don’t want to get better. .how can you make them?

I think Mr. Cosby is wrong in blaming the families. You can talk to them and pray for them but it’s up to them to get the help that they need but they first have to realize that they are in need of that help.

Concerning Families and addiction, I feel that Ms. Tracey Hudson, who’s comment is posted on this forum…..Hits The Nail On the Head. If Families could really save an individual from addiction there wouldn’t be any addicts.
A person has to want help. Mr. Cosby Michael and Whitney are no longer with us. Why make comments about them now. Did you ever get help for using the date rape drug to rape women. The pot can’t talk about the kettle.

As someone who has experienced this from both sided’s of the coin…I understand what Mr. Cosby is saying…families can enable…however, they were adults and ultimately…when fighting addiction, you take no prisoners other than yourself. It’s your personal hell and you are certainly in denial. Its easier said than done…I am sure they were both offered help, and to some extent ended living secluded lives as their addictions progressed…we can force someone into rehab, but what good is that if they don’t want help…they just end up becoming more distant and in some cases cut all ties…I know this for a fact…most addicts don’t intentionally want to hurt family…they want to be loved and excepted, they want to be “normal” not always looking from the outside in. Its complex and its very difficult for all involved…Dr Feelgood was very aware of what he was doing…that is who I am upset with!!
It is quite bold of Mr Bill Cosby to say those things that are true, but pointless now that they are both dead! You as family can only do so much and as the saying goes; you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink!
Mr Cosby wants everyone to be as strong as he, but that is not the case.
We their fans are truly broken by their death’s but they are gone now.
To say such things to a still grieving family is very insensitive, but that seems to be how Bill Cosby rolls. Hope no one in his family ever dies of an addiction!

Bill Cosby needs to chill. Addiction of agrown family member is complex. He’s had allegations hurled at him by outsiders

I don’t know about Whitney but I know much about MJ. He was a recluse. Kept himself away from his family. He didn’t want to see them. His entire family had to make appointments to see him except his mother. She could come when she got ready, which leads me to believe if she was allowed in whenever she wanted to come, she had access to his life beyond the gates and security. I don’t think for a moment she would have let MJ spiral out of control. She’s too strong for that. So the only conclusion to make is he must be still alive. Whitney’s body was at the funeral, but where was MJ’s body!!!

he’s kind of right some times you have to do a little more only if you can take natilie cole for instance her mother took her to court to get control of her well being(money) until she came to her senses–now look at her–maybe it’s more of not knowing what to do–

@Michael Red Walls, I think his demons are being an adulterer, not the father he portrayed on tv, a big mouth opinionated bigot and yes a racist at times. . His comedy acts may have been clean but his personal life was /is muddied up.
This is my opinion of Bill Cosby. I didn’t care for him before and I care less for him now.

Bill needs to sit his old self down and stop seeking publicity after all these years . If I recall he had some personal issues within himself and his family , pertaining to drugs and infidelity . So what gives him the right to speak on other people’s problems within their family.

you can try to help your family member with a drug problem but he or she has to be willing to be helped

their families knew what they were doing and tried to help but they were adults and you can’t help an adult not unless you have a court order to make decisions for them. When Whitney’s mom tried to get her into rehab Whitney said that she would never speak to her again and was very angry with her. Michael Jackson’s family tried to and Mike had them barred from seeing him. He told the security team to bar them from coming to his house. So what can they do? Just pray and leave it to GOD because if you don’t stop, GOD will stop you!
Mr. Cosby is only heard when critical of others. Why? I would like to express that child development starts in the home and it is not easy if your trying to fix your own demons while raising children. All of the Jacksons kids haven’t died from abuse so 1 out of the group(Jackson Family) isn’t bad odds for now. The Best To All Black Celebrity Artist.

Just because you may not know about the inner situation doesn’t change what is right. People try to complicate situations to make themselves feel better. Bill is right and nothing can change that. It’s simple! The only complication is the only one you give.
It’s not the families responsibility. Over 18 years old you’re responsible for your own actions. Bill Cosby talk down about black people when sometimes it’s not necessary like he said get a job well it’s not take easy for some to just get a job.

Michael and Whitney had enough money to run from there family’s help if they didn’t want it. How can you help a person who can leave the country at a drop of a dime, and you still trying to get a ride to the airport, seriously and literally. They had all the money and power in there family’s all tou ciuld do is try to get around the body gaurds and suggest help its still up to them, no force feed.

We all have that family member that “can’t get right”. It’s exhausting, stressful and heartbreaking watching them spiral out of control. You do everything you can. Try to help as much as possible but in the end, it has to be them to do the real work of getting help. I appreciate Bill’s opinion but the families are hurt enough. I believe they DID do all that they could. We shouldn’t judge them and place all the blame on them. Afterall we weren’t there and aren’t there now. We’re on the outside looking in.

I Love Old School Music read the books Remember The Time and Defending a King. They are first hand biographies of people who close to Michael Jackson. Two of which were with him up to the point of his rehearsals of This Is It. His mother was welcome in the home he lived in whenever she wanted to come. She could see her grandkids at her leisure. Everyone else had to go through channels to see him. Yes he had a addiction, but his family was unconcerned with that. They were more in tune with his money. And his security team knew that. I know people that worked with Michael and I have spoken to people who were employed by MJ at Neverland. He was recluse for more than his addiction. He was afraid to face the cruel world that always had a negative opinion about him.

Good point Bill… But what could you have done to save your son’s life? Was it lack of family communication. I feel sadness for all families. There is no real answer or solution.

I agree with most of what Mr. Crosby is saying. Being a parent, I Would have gotten help to them. Even if I had to violate thiers rights as adults or thiers Celebrity status.
Both Mothers should have been more in thiers children business. I believe A.E.G., are eligible responsible for Michael Jackson death than Dr. Murray.

It takes one to know one, This is why he is often rebuffed, he needs to speak on his life and circumstances, which cover’s most of lives frailties.

First off Bill..No Addict cannot stop unless they want to no matter how hard the family or anyone else tries. Yes you have a right to your own opinion, but to blame the families for there deaths is wrong(in my opinion). NO ONE CAN MAKE AN ADDICT STOP USING UNLESS THEY ARE COMPLETELY READY TO STOP….i KNOW THIS FOR A FACT.

What Bill is missing here is when you are the star bringing in the money, as Michael and Whitney were….nobody wants to rock the boat. They were both likely lavishing family members with gifts and paying their bills. The worst thing you can do to an addict is tell them what they MUST do. That does not work. They have to be ready to release it own their own, for their own reasons. When the decision to stop comes from inside them, it is usually definite and permanent.

As a recovering addict you can’t stop anyone from using if they don’t want too. We all have opinions. Opinions doesn’t stop anyone from using. Wanting to stop does.

As much as I love Bill Cosby, someone should pose the following question to him about his daughter that was rumored to have had a drug problem. How did someone who came from such successful parents end up dabbling in such? Or would he like someone to speak so “self-righteously” about the murder of his son?

Mr. Cosby might want to do a little more research on this. According to Cissy Houston, she got a warrant to enter Whitney’s home and took two sheriffs with her. She told Bobby Brown, if you interfere, the sheriffs will take you down. She looked at her daughter, Whitney and said, I’m not losing you to Satan – and they took her to rehab. Cissy DID try. But this addiction is mighty.
