Bill Cosby’s ‘Pound Cake’ Lecture to Black Parents Made Judge Unseal Court Documents

Bill Cosby‘s controversial conservative lecture to black parents on how to raise their children might have been his downfall.

Judge Eduardo C. Robreno shed light Monday on why the 2005 deposition where Cosby admitted to giving women Quaaludes in order to have sex with them was unsealed.

“The stark contrast between Bill Cosby, the public moralist and Bill Cosby, the subject of serious allegations concerning improper (and perhaps criminal) conduct, is a matter as to which the AP — and by extension the public — has a significant interest,” Judge Eduardo C. Robreno wrote on Monday.

The Judge wasn’t having any of it.

“This case, however, is not about [Cosby’s] status as a public person by virtue of the exercise of his trade as a televised or comedic personality. Rather, [Cosby] has donned the mantle of public moralist and mounted the proverbial electronic or print soap box to volunteer his views on, among other things, childrearing, family life, education, and crime.”
