Malcolm-Jamal Warner was recently interviewed by Billboard Magazine about his first Grammy nomination. The publication also took the opportunity to ask Warner for his thoughts on the Cosby allegations. Warner is quoted by Billboard as stating the following:
"He's one of my mentors, and he's been very influential and played a big role in my life as a friend and mentor. Just as it's painful to hear any woman talk about sexual assault, whether true or not, it's just as painful to watch my friend and mentor go through this. I can't really speak on any of the allegations because obviously, I was not there. The Bill Cosby I know has been great to me and great for a lot of people. What he's done for comedy and television has been legendary and history-making. What he's done for the black community and education has been invaluable. That's the Bill Cosby I know. I can't speak on the other stuff."
