Malcolm-Jamal Warner Says Bill Cosby Controversy Tarnishes TV Show

Warner says that he has been in touch with Cosby, but he would not comment on their conversations.

I think the things that we discussed really have to stay private between us. But it’s just a bad situation all around — for him, for his family, the women, their families, the legacy of the show.

Earlier this week, Keshia Knight-Pulliam defended the show’s legacy telling The Grio:

I can say that, based upon the people that continuously approach me and talk about how it’s profoundly impacted their lives, I don’t feel you can take that back. You can’t take back the impact that it’s had on generations of kids, and it’s continuing to have such a positive impact on them. So I feel like the place that it has in people’s hearts is such a nostalgic part of childhood and beyond, it’s going to be difficult to take back those memories.
