But what, also, if there is SOME truth to the stories. That is, they got together, got drunk, or even just had a few drinks, and had sex. No rufies involved, just some alcohol. Now, years later, these women are suspicious, even paranoid. "Hey, maybe I was rufied."
Does that make Cosby a predator? Myself, I don't have any experience with drinking and having amnesia the next morning. I don't drink. So, if I was persuaded, by an attractive celebrity, to have a few drinks, what are the chances that I would black out?
According to David Cassidy's autobiography "C'mon get happy" women all over the country were offering to have sex with him, an offer that he was happy to accept. Does a celebrity need rufies in order to "hook up"? Or even alcohol?
It's possible that Cosby did nothing more than have some drinks and have some consensual sex.
Cosby, of course, moralizer that he is, is supposed to be "better than" going around drinking and having sex, but then again, so are MLK, JFK, and Jesse Jackson. FDR (mistress) Eleanor Roosevelt (lesbian lover) and so on, and so on, and so on.
And that's not "apologizing" for somebody who actually rufied a bunch of women. IF that is what he did, that is inexcusable. It's saying that MAYBE, just maybe, the worst possible scenario is NOT the true one.
