Allegations of rape against Bill Cosby have been coming out for weeks, and now Netflix is finally doing something about it. The company announced tonight it's postponing the Bill Cosby 77 stand-up special that was scheduled to premiere Nov. 28.
Tonight Janice Dickinson became the third victim to come forward with allegations of sexual assault against the comedian. Apparently that was the final straw for Netflix. Cosby's has had two recent television appearances canceled amid the allegations, but NBC has yet to make any changes in regards to a planned comedy show with Cosby attached.
The network will probably feel the pressure now that Netflix has made a move. It's hard to imagine, or justify, any network continuing to stand behind Cosby.
