Bill Cosby Celebrates Anniversary Of Release From Prison With Interview: “Many Along With The Media Will Ask Why Are You Speaking Now?”

Bill Cosby wants to give the world an update.

Actor and comedian Bill Cosby released a photo on social media Wednesday to give his supporters an update on him post-incarceration.

The photo was captioned:

“After two years and 10 months fighting for my life and the truth – one year of freedom home with my family sure looks good on me (At least that’s what my wife says).”

Cosby was released from prison on June 30 of last year after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated his conviction. He was convicted of sexual assault in 2018 for drugging and molesting Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his home.

To “celebrate the one-year anniversary” of his release from prison, Cosby‘s publicist Andrew Wyatt announced via Instagram that the former television star gave an exclusive interview to Philadelphia’s WDAS-FM radio station. He also announced the release of “never-before-seen” footage of Cosby‘s ride home from prison.

Wyatt also posted footage of him and WDAS personality Frankie Darcell discussing the exclusive footage and interview.

“What’s so interesting is that I’m back in Philadelphia with you, and on the 30th of last year I was driving him from SCI Phoenix. And the next day, which was on a Thursday, in New York he got to see Mrs. Cosby after two years and 10 months of being incarcerated.”

The footage will feature Cosby talking to publicist Wyatt as he leaves and drives back to his home in suburban Philadelphia. Wyatt said they had some of the “most amazing conversations” in the car about life, and how he thought it was a “dream” being driven home.

The caption also included a quote from Bill Cosby on breaking his silence after serving prison time.

““Many along with the media will ask why are you speaking now?”

“Hope and inspiration comes to my mind when I think of those men that will never be left behind nor forgotten by me. Many of them called me their hero but they really became my hero.”

The 22 minute footage is set to be released on Wyatt’s Instagram page on Thursday (June 30). The radio interview will air in its entirety this upcoming weekend.
