While his sitcom was raking in millions for NBC, sources claim network execs looked the other way in Bill Cosby’s “sexual molestation” scandal, The ENQUIRER has learned.
In the 1980s, television executives at the Peacock network were aware secret payoffs were going to some Cosby victims to protect his image as America’s quintessential dad on “The Cosby Show,” sources claim.
To date, at least 21 women have accused the 77-year-old comic of sexual assault, and, in some cases, drugging them. Cosby’s lawyers have denied the charges, dismissing them as “decade-old, discredited” claims.
But an insider claimed to The ENQUIRER: “NBC knew! They said nothing and let Cosby ‘cover up.’
“Network bosses knew about Bill’s double life, but they looked the other way out of greed and their desire to protect Bill as a symbol of family values.
