Bill Cosby’s Nephew Speaks Out on ‘Unjustified Claims’

Braxton Cosby, Bill Cosby‘s nephew, has spoken out publicly on the multiple allegations of rape and sexual assault against his uncle. In an interview with FarrahGray.com, Cosby decried the “unjustified claims” and pushed a mainly positive message.

He touts that “my uncle and his legacy are still more alive and well than ever before.” Cosby invokes the Bible passage in which Jesus says “the person who without sin should cast the first stone.”

Cosby says he’s learned “the true faces of a few friends” in the past few weeks, but has also received a lot of love. He concludes, “I believe he is innocent and unless the judicial system can prove otherwise, I stand behind him and his contributions.”

Cosby, of course, is being accused by over a dozen women of inappropriate behavior and even sexual assault and rape in some cases.
