Damon Wayans shocked a radio audience on Friday while defending accused serial rapist Bill Cosby, telling Power 105 Breakfast Club co-host Angela Yee that some of the “bitches” now saying Cosby assaulted them were “un-rape-able.”
He even shrugged off the alleged victims’ accusations with a crude joke: “How big is [Cosby’s] penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years?” Wayans, 55, made the comments during an interview on New York City’s Power 105 radio morning show, when he was asked what kind of “advice” he would give Cosby. “If I was him, I would divorce my wife, wink wink, give her all my money, and then I would go to a deposition, I’d light one of them three-hour cigars, I’d have me some wine, and maybe a Quaalude, and I would just go off, because I don’t believe he was raping,” said Wayans.
He added: “I think he was in relationships with all of them, and then he’s like, ‘You know what, it’s 78, I can’t get it up for any of y’all, bye bitches.’ And now they’re like, ‘Oh, really? Rape.’ Forty years — listen, how big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years?’
Show co-host Angela Yee pointed out that wasn’t actually true, that some of the women had come forward years earlier, but Wayans was having none of it.
“But if you listen to them talk, they go, ‘Well, the first time.’ The first time?! Bitch, how many times did it happen? Just listen to what they’re saying.”
Wayans then went on to denigrate the women’s looks: “And some of them, really, is un-rape-able,” he said. “I look at them and go, ‘No, he don’t want that. Get outta here!'”
He continued: “You’re talkin’ about, what, in 1965 he just walked into someone’s dressing room and put his penis in their mouth?”
Wayans believes that people are now “attacking” Cosby because they saw an “opening” when Cosby began criticizing “young black men,” wondering why Cosby was seemingly being ostracized more than other scandal-plagued celebs such as Woody Allen and confessed pedophile Stephen Collins. “But the dude from 7th Heaven, his show’s still on TV. Woody Allen, he’s making shows and movies.”
Wayans also stated his belief that the only reason the women are coming forward is cash. “I think it’s a money-hustle,” he declared, although later backed down a bit and admitted that perhaps some of the women were telling the truth. “And for them, my heart goes out to them. For anybody who was raped by Bill Cosby, I’m sorry, and I hope you get justice,” he said, but added: “You other bitches, look,” and further questioned the alleged victims’ claims.
“What’s the joy of banging someone that’s asleep?” Wayans wondered, insisting that Cosby is “innocent until proven guilty.”
At the end of the day, Wayans said he believes the responsibility lies with Cosby himself to “tell the truth… because this is not how your legacy should end.”
