Raven Symon\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> opened up like never before about one of her early mentors, Bill Cosby<\/strong><\/a>, during a recent episode of the “Hate to Break It to Ya” podcast. Symon\u00e9, 39, has a particularly interesting connection to Cosby, previously one of the industry’s biggest names before being convicted of felony assault, considering she starred in his series, “The Cosby Show,” at the young age of 3. Cosby’s legal woes landed him in prison in 2018, where he served just a few years before his release. While Symon\u00e9 briefly shared her thoughts on the 88-year-old’s personal struggles during her most recent interview, she spent the majority of her time boasting about the change Cosby brought to the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

Cosby was charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand in 2015, stemming from an incident that occurred in 2004. The actor, who many once referred to as “America’s Dad,” went to trial a few years later, which concluded in a mistrial.<\/p>\n

In 2018, the actor was retried and found guilty on all three counts and later sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison.<\/p>\n

In 2021, however, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned<\/a> Cosby’s conviction, ruling that a non-prosecution agreement he made with a previous district attorney in 2005 should’ve prevented him from being charged to begin with, eventually freeing him after three years.<\/p>\n

Symon\u00e9 acknowledged the seriousness of Cosby’s legal woes during the “Hate to Break It to Ya” podcast, admitting he’s been “accused of some horrific things.” For Symon\u00e9, though, she made clear that what occurred is “his personal life,” urging the public to “keep that there.”<\/p>\n
