Just last year, NBC said it was developing a new TV show with comedian Bill Cosby. Now, the network doesn’t want anything to do with him.
NBC Chairman Bob Greenblatt said “I think that’s safe to say” there won’t be any future projects with Cosby, who has been accused by several women of rape. Cosby starred in the network’s iconic The Cosby Show.
Greenblatt’s comments came today at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, Calif.
Last November, NBC pulled the plug on its Cosby project.
“Fifteen women came out and accused him,” Greenblatt said. “While over the years we’d heard some of those accusations and knew there were a couple settlements, it didn’t seem to be the sort of thing that was critical mass.”
