The Growing Scandal

Bill Cosby: An American Scandal on Investigation Discovery will recount that for decades, Bill Cosby was considered the most doting dad on television. With his loving discipline, jokes, and family fun, Bill Cosby was the poster father for all generations and races. What people didn’t know in those days was that behind the role of fatherhood lurked a nasty rumor that only those in Hollywood were privy to. The rumor had to do with Bill Cosby allegedly drugging several women before having sex with them in the 1960s.

The allegations wouldn’t come to light and wouldn’t touch America’s mainstream until many years later, most notably in 2005. However, the Bill Cosby scandal exploded in 2014 when several former acquaintances, including Linda Joy Traitz, accused Bill of raping them and giving them a drink spiked with drugs, Bill Cosby: An American Scandal will show.
