Phylicia Rashad Defends Bill Cosby: ‘A Legacy Is Being Destroyed’

Phylicia Rashad says she was misquoted on Bill Cosby (USA Today)

Phylicia Rashad raised eyebrows earlier this week when she commented on the numerous sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby with a seemingly callous remark.

"Forget those women," she told Showbiz 411 columnist Roger Friedman on Tuesday.

"And that was a misquote," she told ABC News in an interview on Wednesday. "What I said is this is not about the women. This is about something else. This is about the obliteration of a legacy."
