Kenya Barris to Judd Apatow: Shut Up about Bill Cosby
Kenya Barris is not happy with Judd Apatow. The creator of the new hit comedy series “Black-ish” feels that the famed writer/director should just shut up already about Bill Cosby.
Apatow has gone on a Twitter tirade against Cosby due to all of the rape allegations that have been made against the iconic comic. He seems to have made it his personal mission to keep Cosby from continuing to work.
Apatow has tweeted things like, “Are you really going to let Bill Cosby perform on your stage January 7?” in reference to Cosby’s upcoming performances at Toronto’s Center in the Square and London, Ontario’s Budweiser Gardens. He was also quoted as saying, ““Is Cosby only popular in Ontario Canada at this point? Do people still find him delightful after 30 accusers?”
Barris has also taken to Twitter, but to vent against Apatow. “Dude. Enough. Not defending [Cosby] at all, but u do realize this borders on strangely obsessive, right? Where was ur #EricGarner[?]”
And, “I mean ur [Apatow] a comedy god but u have an extremely narrowband and privileged scope for ur powerful rage. He’s probably a monster…”
Apatow responded, “I don’t know if his criticism of me is accurate. I just hate rapists. But we look like the exact same person!”
On Wednesday Barris tweeted, “I hate rapists. I hate Twitter. And most of all I hate how I look.”
Barris also went after Apatow for how he depicts black people in his movies tweeting, “and stop showing the most fucked off 1 sided view of black people n every thing you ever do.” And, “but ur depiction of them & lack of true context 2 these characters in ur personal life makes ur Cosby (fuck him) remarks odd.”
“Black-ish, ” which premiered in the fall, is about how a black family man deals with living in a white suburban area.

STAY FOCUSED, be relentless, speak up and keep the heat on
rapist Bill Cosby, the Cosby family and his supporters. WHY? VICTIMS MATTER!
These victims represent our daughters, wives, mothers and sisters. Cosby deserves
our relentless attention. Cosby is a habitual rapist. Habitual rapists cannot stop.
The Cosbys display an arrogance of entitlement without accountability and or
remorse! For the past fifty years the Cosby family have used their wealth and
position in society to dodge the prosecution bullet. The Cosbys now believe
they are untouchables, above the law. They are classic sociopaths. The number
of Cosby drug raped victims is painfully staggering and continues to climb. All
who support Cosby, including his family, are condoning rape and what Cosby has
and no doubt continues to do and you also disrespect current and future
victims. For every victim who comes forward there are fifty more too afraid to
do so. Are the Cosby daughters willing incest partners? With the Cosbys
anything is possible. There are no martyrs or victims in the Cosby family, they
made their choices. Fifty years of Cosby raping victims, they all knew! The
Cosbys have been living a lie for fifty years, but not any longer! Some comfort
for victims, courts aside, in the eyes of the informed world THESE COSBY PIGS
ARE DONE! Now everyone knows. There is no race card to be played. We hope the
Cosbys waste millions trying to defend themselves. The Cosby family have no one
to blame but themselves. Bill Cosby is the poster boy for why our legal system
does not work or should I say “Does Work” for Wealthy and Powerful Felons. A
small comfort is at 77 Cosby will not live forever. Justice denied awaits all
victims; vengeance is mine.
Did you just accuse the Cosby family if incest?
