Raven-Symoné says she has to separate the “creator from the creation” when thinking about Bill Cosby’s legacy and the way he lived.
“Separate the creator from the creation. And that’s just where I live,” she said, “You have to because the creation changed America, changed television.”
Crediting Cosby for forging a path for Black people to work in entertainment both on-screen and off, the “That’s So Raven” star also couldn’t deny that he has been accused of “horrific things.”
Sixty women have accused the comedian of sexual offenses, though he has largely maintained his innocence. In 2018, he was convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman, but the case was overturned three years later on a legal technicality.
“That’s his personal [life],” Raven-Symoné said of the allegations. “So personally, keep that there, and business-wise, know what he did there as well. Like you said, both can live, and I think our culture is right to, you know, don’t do wrong. Don’t do wrong personally. You just can’t do wrong.”
Just 3 years old when she got her big start on “The Cosby Show,” Raven-Symoné told Kennedy, “I will always credit everyone on that set from top to bottom for creating who I am today and allowing me to have the career that I have.”
