Phylicia Rashad is reacting to reaction over her response to Bill Cosby‘s jail release.
The starlet, who played Cosby’s other half on his eponymous program, tweeted in assistance of the scorned comic after Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court abandoned his 2018 attack conviction.
“FINALLY!!!!” she composed on June 30. “A terrible wrong is being righted- a miscarriage of justice is corrected!”
Three hours later on, after coming under fire for the tweet and silencing her replies, Rashad spoke up once again to state she didn’t plan to lessen the discomfort numerous sexual attack survivors frequently deal with.
“I fully support survivors of sexual assault coming forward,” the This Is Us star, 73, tweeted. “My post was in no way intended to be insensitive to their truth. Personally, I know from friends and family that such abuse has lifelong residual effects. My heartfelt wish is for healing.”
Rashad has actually been a singing ally of Cosby, who served practically 3 years behind bars for a 2018 conviction of 3 felony counts of exacerbated indecent attack.
