Bill Cosby's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been defaced with the word 'rapist' after mounting allegations of sexual assault. On Thursday night, the word was scrawled three times on Bill's star on the storied Walk of Fame.
The incident is coming after 20 women, including former super model Janice Dickinson, stepped forward to accuse the comedian of unwanted advances, including drugging and then raping them. NBC dropped a new project with the comedian, while Netflix also shelved a one-off comedy special
planned for the day after Thanksgiving. Bill also resigned from Temple University's board of trustees, which he joined in 1982. And on Thursday, the Navy announced it is revoking the former sailor's title of honorary chief petty officer, saying the allegations against him are serious and conflict with the Navy's core values.
Reacting to the writing on Bill's star, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said in a statement:
'When people are unhappy with one of our honorees, we would hope that they would project their anger in more positive ways than to vandalize a California State landmark. The star is being cleaned up at this time.'
Photographs taken on Friday showed workers scrubbing the stone.
