Bill Cosby is backtracking on his comments which he allegedly gave in an interview to the New York Post earlier this month, during which he reportedly said that he only expects to be treated fairly by “black media.” The 77-year-old comedian’s lawyer, John P. Schmitt, issued a statement to NBC News, saying that his client’s comments were “misconstrued” by reporter Stacy Brown, who conducted the interview with Cosby via phone. Brown’s purported conversation with Cosby was published in both the Washington Informer as well as the New York Post’s Page Six section. In the Page 6 story, Brown alleged that Cosby’s comments were of a means of “breaking his silence” with regards to the ongoing rape allegations which have now been brought against the embattled actor by more than 20 some women.
