And before this all broke the surface,
we were all shaking our heads over Bill Cosby.

I looked at some of the allegations.
Not all of it was after hours and behind closed doors, in his case.

Cosby did some prowling and pouncing on the job,
in the backstage / dressing-room areas.
Sure it was behind the scenes,
but it was still on the job.
The women he approached there
(one of them was more-than-approached, but let's not go further)
were there because they were performers as well,
and were about to perform,
on stage or in one case
ON CAMERA.

I mean, this is like suicide by cop!
Did you read Janis Ian's account? She was a teenager, and female.
Luckily she had a chaperone and so Cosby looked but didn't touch.

How dare any performer do that to their fellow performers,
on the job! That is beyond all reason.
