Bill Cosby’s wife and daughter break silence to denounce media after comic allegedly tricked into commenting on rape allegations for New York Post

Bill Cosby’s family has stepped up its push-back against the rash of sexual assault suppressing engulfing the TV star, with his daughter Evin protesting to his fans that he “is the FATHER you thought you knew.”

Evin Cosby’s brief statement to Access Hollywood came just a few hours after her mother Camille broke her silence to attack media coverage of the alleged sex. Camille Cosby accused reporters of a “breakneck rush to run stories without any corroboration”, referring to the by now more than 20 women who have come forward alleging that they were drugged, molested and in some cases raped by her husband.
