Reporters Tweet Awkward Remark from Bill Cosby About His ‘Drinking’…
Bill Cosby is performing in Canada tonight, and several journalists in attendance flagged a particularly striking moment; a bit of an awkward interaction (to say the least) with an audience member:
"You have to be careful about drinking around me," Cosby just said to a woman in the crowd. Loud gasps from the audience.

"You have to be careful about drinking around me," Cosby says to somebody who appears to be leaving voluntarily.

Cosby has been incredibly tight-lipped about the controversy surrounding him, with dozens of women making all sorts of allegations ranging from sexual misconduct to rape, save for a smattering of comments here and there. He joked about being an “evil man” during a show two months ago.
