BILL COSBY ACCUSED OF RAPE

[HairOfTheDog]

Bill Cosby purposely created a public perception about his image, sally.

That's a fact, not an opinion -- whether the image he portrayed of himself, the man, reflected the truth of who he was (in part or whole) or instead was only what he conned people into believing.

He chose to be more than an actor. He chose to give lectures about morality and societal values, rather than remain silent on the topics and just be an actor. He chose to write books about fatherhood and family values, rather than remain silent on the topics and just be an actor. He chose to give speeches at schools, advising children and young adults about how to be successful and productive members of society, rather than remain silent and just be an actor. He chose to privately and publicly criticize other entertainers' material for being undignified and inappropriate, rather than remain silent and just be an actor. (Some of which may have been sincere and positive; all of which were choices and actions based upon his public image he created and projected.)

All the while, he was allegedly drugging, raping, and molesting women -- many of whom he chose to approach in the role of a mentor.

Now, he's choosing to be silent. Maybe he was just acting all the time, all along.
