Janet Hubert is not happy with Phylicia Rashad.
The former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actress took to Twitter to call out Rashad after she initially celebrated Bill Cosby’s release on Wednesday.
“Phylicia what are you thinking!!! I don’t know you but to say this was terribly wrong. EVERYONE knew what he was doing back then,” Hubert wrote. “How could you NOT! Get your umbrella sista here comes the sht shower. I am outraged that he has been released. Yes he is an old a* guilty man!”
“I would have said he’s old he’s out and I’m happy for him, but he still …guilty,” she added, claiming, “I know 5 women who have not come forward. Enough Ya’ll we know better. Powerful men do wrong things, black or white…”
On Wednesday morning, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Cosby’s 2018 conviction for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand
Rashad, who played Cosby’s wife, Clair Huxtable, on The Cosby Show, first expressed her support for the decision, tweeting, “FINALLY!!!! A terrible wrong is being righted- a miscarriage of justice is corrected!”
However, after receiving backlash, she followed up with another post, supporting “survivors of sexual abuse.” Cosby — who has been accused of sexual misconduct by over 60 women — has denied all accusations against him.
“I fully support survivors of sexual assault coming forward,” Rashad wrote. “My post was in no way intended to be insensitive to their truth. Personally, I know from friends and family that such abuse has lifelong residual effects. My heartfelt wish is for healing.”
