The Navy is revoking Bill Cosby's title of honorary chief petty officer, saying allegations of sexual abuse made against the comedian are serious and conflict with the Navy's core values.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and Master Chief Petty Officer Michael Stevens made the announcement Thursday in a statement.
Cosby enlisted in the Navy in 1956 and served four years as a hospital corpsman before being honorably discharged in 1960 as a 3rd Class Petty Officer. The honorary title was presented to Cosby in 2011...

Even the US Navy is removing it's pointless honorary distinctions. I mentally have put "The Cosby Show" as one of the best sit-coms in history... in my mind. Am I supposed to mentally move it behind "Cheers" or "Seinfeld"?
if ya'll can't see that this is a smear campaign, then ya'll ain't too bright.
They are going above and beyond to try to ruin Cosby.
They didn't do anything like this for an admitted cac child molester Stephen collins.
But they are going to every single extreme to try to absolutely destroy Cosby.
and oh yeah, for all of y'all that said these women have nothing to gain, so why would they lie?

Bill Cosby Urged by Gloria Allred to Face Accusers in Court, or Pay $100 Million Damages
Two more
Bill Cosby alleged victims came forward on Wednesday, Dec. 3, as civil rights lawyer
Gloria Allred urged the former
Cosby Show star to face his accusers in court, or set up a $100 million fund to settle their sexual abuse claims.

The proposal to face the claims in court was made by Allred at a press conference in Los Angeles where she was accompanied by three of Cosby's alleged victims, two of whom had not spoken publicly before.
“It could be advantageous for Mr. Cosby to give up the statute of limitations because there is a huge cloud on his reputation,” Allred told reporters. “If Mr. Cosby believes all the women are being untruthful, then this is his opportunity to prove it.”

As an alternative to facing the women in court, she also suggested to Cosby that another course of action would be to set up a $100 million fund, and let a panel of retired judges “determine the merits of each claim” and award compensation.
One of the accusers,
Beth Ferrier, identified as Jane Doe No. 5 in the 2005 lawsuit that Cosby settled with former accuser
Andrea Constand, added her plea to Aldred’s.
“If Mr. Cosby would accept Gloria Allred’s proposal, I would be able to have my day in court. I want Mr. Cosby to face justice for what he has done to me and so many other women,” accuser Beth Ferrier, who claims the comedian drugged her coffee and sexually assaulted her thirty years ago.

One new accuser, who gave her first name
Chelan, claimed Cosby had invited her to the Las Vegas Hilton in 1986, promising to introduce her to someone from Ford modeling agency. She claims the actor gave her a pill for a head cold, which he said was an antihistamine. She claims he sexually abused her once she had passed out.
Helen Hayes, the other new accuser, claimed she was abused in 1973, during
Clint Eastwood’s celebrity tennis tournament in Pebble Beach, California. She says the actor grabbed her breast when he approached her having dinner in a restaurant.
A few hours after Allred's proposal was made, Cosby pulled out of two forthcoming comedy shows scheduled for this weekend in Tarrytown, New York,
TMZ reported.
