Keshia Knight Pulliam Defends Bill Cosby: That’s not the man I know. [VIDEO]

Pulliam appeared on the show, to promote her appearance on The Celebrity Appearance, which premiered Sunday night. Pulliam was fired last night and Cosby played an unexpected role on the series. Pulliam refused to reach out to Cosby to help her raise donations for her charity of choice — Kamp Kizzy. During her appearance, she explained why she decided not to call Cosby for his financial assistance:

I know ‘The Cosby Show’ is in reruns, and everyone thinks that we’re this family that has dinner every Friday night,” Pulliam said. “But the reality was I hadn’t spoken to Mr. Cosby. I felt that it would be tactless, very rude to call someone and be like, ‘Hey, so, let me have some money right now.’
