KeishaKnight Pulliam was on the Today Show this morning and she gave her thoughts on the Bill Cosby Allegations after getting booted off Celebrity Apprentice last night.
Before we get into what she had to say, I think it was so distasteful of Donald Trump to kick her off for not reaching out to Cosby and asking for donations even if this was before the allegations of rape broke in the media.
Donald knows what he is doing and every black woman he picks for celebrity apprentice is chosen for a reason beyond what they might even realize, the hope is that they do not play into his little traps.
When she was asked about the Cosby allegations she said that they were ‘just that – allegations‘.
‘I wasn’t there, no one was there expect for the two people to know exactly what happened,’ she said. ‘All I can speak to is the man that I know and I love.’
She made a point to say that Bill Cosby had ‘groundbreaking’ work on The Cosby Show and he showed a lot of monetary support for historically black Colleges.
‘It’s very much been played out in the court of public opinion,’ she added. ‘We’re still in America where ultimately you’re innocent until proven guilty.

‘I wasn’t there. That just wasn’t the man I know, so I can’t speak to it.’
She also went to the Wendy William’s show where she said:
“None of us were there; there are two sides to a story, and we are in America, and it is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law,” she told Williams.
“It’s a horrible situation however you slice it, but I feel that once the dust settles, then people will recognize how much he’s given to our society with all of his work,” she continued. “You can’t take that away.”
“We were the first family that, no matter what race, religion, what have you, you saw yourself in,” she said. “We saw how much alike we were than we were different. The man I know and love is who I just described.”
She said she thought is was tactless for her to just all up Bill Cosby and ask for money after not talking to him for a long time. I agree, what do you think?
