How would Claire Huxtable react to Phylicia Rashad’s defense of Cosby?

             

                           


In a television interview, Phylicia Rashad clarified what she said was a misquote by Showbiz411’s Roger Friedman. The Tony Award-winning actress said she never said “forget these women” in reference to Bill Cosby’s rape accusers.
“What I said is that this is not about the women; this is about the obliteration of legacy,” she said to ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis.
What seemed lost on Rashad was that her statement of correction was just as callous as the misquote. Over 20 women have stepped forward to offer detailed accounts of sexual assault at the hands of Bill Cosby, and Rashad thinks that this entire scandal is about the legacy of a television sitcom. Granted, there is not an American over the age of 25 who has not been impacted by The Cosby Show. It is the finest example of what a successful family looks like.
One thing is for sure: if Claire Huxtable had been in the room when Rashad spoke those words, she would have certainly checked her.
Claire Huxtable, the feisty matriarch of the Cosby family, not only led a successful law practice, she also balanced a household with 5 children, a silly but lovable husband and a revolving door of friends and relatives as her family grew. Claire was the type of woman who would never hesitate to use her quick wit to correct any antiquated patriarchal ideals expressed by a male in her presence.
