No, but he's done some things (and not owned up to them) to indicate he is not a trustworthy man.

From Psychology Today, 11/2014:

Spoiler

America loves Bill Cosby. He’s so warm, comforting and wise….. and he makes us laugh as well. He taught us good manners, how to be a loving spouse, a good parent and raise well-adjusted and respectable children. He was the wholesome, All-American spokesman for Jell-O and the squeaky clean, proper and harmless Dr. Cliff Huxtable from The Cosby Show. Everything about Dr. Huxtable was trustworthy, right down to the comfortable sweaters he wore. Bill Cosby was welcomed into virtually every American home because he was... well, safe and trustworthy.

Spoiler

Bill Cosby is an icon, and his wholesome brand made him not only incredibly wealthy, but a role model for young and old alike. He has repeatedly stressed to all that we should always do the right thing and be responsible. Being responsible means owning what you've done and accepting the consequences for your actions.

I was joking. Bill Cosby, the character, was a bastion of fatherhood and responsibility. Bill Cosby, the man, was a cretin.

He's earning a living doing honest work at an honest job many people hold. I see no problem with that.

And now he had to quit a job he liked because of the new "fame".

I'm finishing the third season of the Man in the High Castle. Seriously, though, they need to change the theme music from "Edelweiss." I get that it's dark and creepy, but after hearing it so many times it's tedious.

Holy techno-paranoia Batman! I just started watching Mr. Robot. It's good.

Is that the one with Rami Malik?

Yes, he's the lead.

 

[Worm]

Yes, he's the lead.

I love him. Can't wait to see Bohemain Rhapsody, even though reviewers are mainly panning it.

Albert Brooks' birth name was "Albert Einstein." (He is the brother of Bob Einstein, recently passed.)

Interesting fun fact - hadn't heard that one

The human mind is a marvel - today I used the phrase "No news is good news" which immediately (for the first time in 35 years) triggered a memory of Gary Gnu's catchphrase "No Gnews is good Gnews with Gary Gnu" (from the children's show The Great Space Coaster). If you don't remember it or never saw it, video below - warning you, this is far from essential

That's my take. Think her name is Lynda Carter, though.

Oh, right. Linda is her cousin. What a star of stage, she is!
