NEW YORK (AP) — The fallout continues over the allegations of sexual assault against Bill Cosby. Some of the companies that had looked to make money off him — are now finding him poison.
NBC has yanked the plug on a proposed reboot of a sitcom featuring him as a lovable dad. Netflix has declined to air a Cosby comedy special that was to be shown next week. And now, TV Land has pulled reruns of his old NBC show, effective immediately.
All this comes shortly after another woman has come forward to claim the comedian tried to have his way with her after giving her alcohol and a drug.
Though Cosby has never been charged in any case, other women have made similar claims. His attorney has dismissed the latest claim, from Janice Dickinson, as “false” and “outlandish.”
