Singer Jill Scott has spoken out on Twitter to address the continuing sexual assault allegations against comedian Bill Cosby. When asked by a follower if she supported Bill, Jill said, "I side with substantiated proof when media/society is attempting to destroy a magnificent legacy." Jill faced immediate backlash from her followers for her comments and later posted a tweet referring to rape as a "despicable, cowardly crime."
@KristensWay I'm respecting a man who has done more for the image of Brown people that almost anyone EVER. From Fat Albert to the Huxtables

Rape is a despicable, cowardly crime. If you've been raped- plz do NOT shower, go to police IMMEDIATELY, have a rap kit done. GET EVIDENCE.

Bill Cosby has been accused of sexually assaulting at least 13 women. The allegations have been around for years but they re-emerged after comedian Hannibal Buress called Bill a "rapist" during a stand-up set in October. Several famous women have recently come forward to detail their alleged sexual assault at the hands of Bill, including model Janice Dickinson.
