On Cosby being a loving mentor to her
“Looking at the big picture is the reason that I could not make any real decisions other than love. If it’s your dad and let’s say 100 people say something terrible about your father. The one that’s raised you. The one that’s been there. The one that took care of your skinned knees. And I’m not saying this because I saw the man on television. Bill Cosby has been good to me. Officially good to me. North Philly girl, doing well, reaching out, ‘How you doing? You need anything? Let me give you some advice.’ ”
On why she decided to stop defending Cosby
“It doesn’t look good. My mind is present. My heart didn’t want to believe anything negative about someone I love and admire and respect so much. But, my mind is present and I was like ‘D—-t!’ [There’s] no way around this.”
