Bill Cosby's Spokesman Calls Out Eddie Murphy For Attacking The Jailed Star At Saturday Night Live

Bill Cosby’s spokesman has slammed Eddie Murphy for making jokes at Cosby’s expense during his historic return to Saturday Night Live.

In a statement released on Monday, December 23, 2019, the spokesman said that Cosby paved the way for black entertainers such as Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hare and more. According to him, it is sad that Murphy would take this glorious moment of his return to SNL to make disparaging remarks against Cosby.

“Bill Cosby’s Publicist, Andrew Wyatt, responds to Eddie Murphy’s SNL Monologue: “Mr. Cosby became the first Black to win an Emmy for his role in I Spy and Mr. Cosby broke color barriers in the Entertainment Industry, so that Blacks like Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappell, Kevin Hart, and et al., could have an opportunity to showcase their talents for many generations to come. It is sad that Mr. Murphy would take this glorious moment of returning to SNL and make disparaging remarks against Mr. Cosby.

One would think that Mr. Murphy was given his freedom to leave the plantation, so that he could make his own decisions; but he decided to sell himself back to being a Hollywood Slave. Stepin Fetchit plus cooning equals the destruction of Black Men in Hollywood. Remember, Mr. Murphy, that Bill Cosby became legendary because he used comedy to humanize all races, religions and genders; but your attacking Mr. Cosby helps you embark on just becoming click bait. Hopefully, you will be amenable to having a meeting of the minds conversation, in order to discuss how we can use our collective platforms to enhance Black people rather than bringing all of us down together.” #NotFunnySNL #SNL #FarFromFinished #FreeBillCosby #BillCosby
