Damon Wayans is under fire for shocking comments he made while defending Bill Cosby amidst his sex scandal


Damon Wayans , 55, is getting blasted on social media over remarks he made on Power 105’s The Breakfast Club radio show on Sept. 4 while speaking about the Bill Cosby , 78, sex scandal. After calling some of Bill’s accusers “b**ches” and “unrapeable,” Twitter exploded with criticism aimed directly at Damon.



In the interview, Damon said that he didn’t think Bill raped his accusers. He believes Bill was in a relationship with the women. He also questioned why the women waited so long to come forward. “Oh, really? Rape. Forty years — listen, how big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years?” Damon said.

“And some of them, really, is unrapeable,” he continued. “I look at them and go, ‘No, he don’t want that. Get outta here!’ Look, I understand fame. I’ve lived it. Women will throw themselves at you. They just want be in your presence. There’s some that innocently will come up there, but not 40-something women. They’re not that naive.”
