I'm not saying he's wrong or right but why wait till everybody else throws Bill Cosby to throw your two cents in? I mean, if you were so sympathetic to these women why not speak up when you knew it was happening? But based off his character on the show I'm not surprised he's the conservative route.

Nicole Phillips (L) and Joseph C. Phillips (R) arrive for the opening night performance of ‘Immediate Family’ May 3.
Someone else has stepped forward to make claims the Bill Cosby allegations are true — and it's a former male co-star.
Joseph C. Phillips, who played Cosby's son-in-law Martin Kendall on "The Cosby Show," took tohis blog to share his feelings about the comedian in a post titled, "Of Course Bill Cosby Is Guilty."
Line after line, Phillips describes how much he looks up to the actor and idolized him, even before they worked together on the show.
"He was my boyhood idol. His influence on my life has been profound. I owe much of who I am to Bill Cosby, so the idea of love seems to fall short of exactly how I feel," he wrote. "The Cos was a ladies man, but also good father and husband - devoted to his wife and children. Bill was educated; he collected art and was fluent in jazz. After my father, Bill Cosby was the man I aspired to be. Few get an opportunity to meet their idol, much less work with them. I was blessed in that regard, and even more blessed that I found my idol as clever, kind and brilliant as I had imagined."

He went on to explain that the moment he joined the cast of the show he realized that everyone knew that the comedian was messing around with women other than his wife.
"Bill sleeping around was a fact that, like, the air, seemed to just be," he explained. "You didn't have to see it or hear it to know that it existed. ... There was also the seeming unending parade of pretty young women that streamed through the studio."

Phillips recalls a moment that "shook" him after running to a female friend during the height of the Cosby allegations and deciding to ask her if anything weird ever happened. She too had spent time around the comedian and saw him as a mentor.

"Back in the day," I started. "I remember that you knew Bill - that he was like your mentor or something. Did he ever…" Before I finished the sentence, she began to cry," he wrote. "We spent the next two hours sitting on a bench talking. Through tears, she told me her story. She cursed him for violating both her trust and her body. She cursed herself for not being smarter, and for degrading herself in pursuit of success. I listened patiently. As she began to run out of steam, she turned to me. "Do you believe me?"

"The good Bill has done over the years is real and enduring," he writes. "I am not prepared to simply dismiss his brilliance, his wisdom, or his legacy. ... It is with all of the love I still have for him and the reverence of one who has idolized him for a lifetime that I offer this plea. Bill, you have a family who loves you, a wife who is devoted to you; you have more money than you can spend. Please, go live a quiet country life. Allow those of us who truly love you to preserve just a bit of our enchantment."
