Comedian Hannibal Buress: I Received ‘Death Threats’ After My Bill Cosby Jokes

Hannibal Buress Tells Kimmel He Received ‘Death Threats’ After Cosby Jokes (Mediaite)

It’s been just about five months since video of comedian Hannibal Buress calling Bill Cosby a “rapist” made its way around the internet and since then dozens of women have spoken out about the alleged incidents of sexual assault. During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, Buress gave an update on what it has felt like to be the unlikely catalyst for this major story.

“This Bill Cosby thing, you kind of get it started,” Jimmy Kimmel told Buress. “You’re the one that spoke about Bill and it snowballed and really put a crimp in his dating life.”
