Damon Wayans Responds to Backlash over Cosby Remarks: ‘Stop Twisting My Words’

Comedian Damon Wayans shared some controversial thoughts about Bill Cosby a few days ago, saying that a lot of the accusations against him may be a “money hustle” and saying things like, “How big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years?… Just listen to what they’re saying and some of them really is un-rape-able.”

Well, after those comments received some huge online scorn, Wayans fired back on Twitter.

He repeatedly highlighted a portion of the interview in which he said he feels sorry for anyone who was truly raped by Cosby and hopes they get justice:

Stop twisting my words. Watch the entire interview before u condemn me! http://t.co/yQqPMB23kL
