Evin Cosby, the youngest of Bill Cosby’s five children, posted a passionate defense of her father on his official Facebook page Wednesday, assailing his “public persecution,” and denouncing the “cruelty” of the media and his accusers who have branded him a ” ‘rapist’ without ever knowing the truth.”
“When people are so quick to cast hate and make accusations of horrific violence against my dad, they are callous in their carelessness about the harm they are causing to others,” she wrote. “Instead of going through the criminal justice system, these stories never got investigated and just got repeated. They have been accepted as the truth.”Bill Cosby, 79, tweeted links to his daughter’s statement on his Twitter account beginning shortly after 7 a.m. ET.
