One of Bill Cosby’s daughters on Tuesday defended the comedian against allegations from more than a dozen women that The Cosby Show star had sexually abused them decades ago.

Evin Cosby, 38, said in a statement that Cosby “is the father you thought you knew,” echoing the statement of her mother, Camille Cosby, who publicly defended her husband for the first time on Monday.


“The Cosby Show was my today’s TV reality show,” Evin Cosby said in a statement seen as her most public defense so far of her father.

She previously had actively defended her father on Facebook and criticised institutions, like Atlanta’s Spelman College, that have severed affiliations with the trailblazing African-American comedian.

Cosby’s three other living children, all daughters, have not spoken out publicly on the allegations. His son, Ennis, was killed in 1997.
