The Cosby Show actor Phylicia Rashad, who played Bill Cosby’s wife on the long-running sitcom, has posted on Twitter that she supports survivors of sexual assault after her earlier post celebrating her former co-star’s release from prison sparked a social media backlash.
Cosby was released from prison earlier today after his 2018 conviction for sexual assault was overturned.
Rashad wrote on Twitter: “I fully support survivors of sexual assault coming forward.
The earlier post she refers to remains on her Twitter feed.
