Bill Cosby seriously gives zero fucks. Nothing will stop the comedian from doing a show. Not even the latest string of rape allegations, including one from Chelsea Handler who says "he's guilty." The comedian, who is clearly unphased by the insurmountable accusations, was rattled by a heckler at his show last Friday in Baltimore.

"38 women called you a rapist!" The audience member shouted, "Tell the one about how to get away with rape."

Cosby responded to the protester, shouting "Stop it!" The audience outnumbered the lone heckler, collectively booing the man later identified as Michael M. Crook. "How many women have called you something?" they shouted at him. "Shut Up!" "Sit down!"

"I stood up to Bill Cosby tonight because I believe the 38 women who have come forward so far to accuse him of raping them," said Crook. "I can't speak for those women, but I am determined to stand up with them and tell Mr. Cosby that he cannot simply avoid answering for those crimes." 

“Just remain calm,” Cosby told the crowd who came to his defense. “We are here to enjoy my gift. We are not here to argue. Let those people speak. We will find them and ask them to leave.” Crook was later ejected from the show by security.

"I wanted [Cosby] to have to face, even if only for a moment, that reality before security escorted me out and allowed him to retreat to the comfort and embrace of audience willing to ignore those women," said Crook.
