Bill Cosby's Nephew Speaks Out on Comedian's Sex Assault Allegations

A nephew of Bill Cosbyis speaking out on behalf of the 77-year-old
comedian, saying he "is innocent" in light of the "unjustified
claims."
Braxton Cosby, who heads up Cosby Media Producations, told
FarrahGray.comthat "unless the judicial system can prove otherwise, I
stand behind him and his contributions."

"I would be more inclined to compare it to the passage in the Bible
where the people of the village were about to stone the woman caught
in adultery and Jesus challenged them by saying that the person who is
without sin should cast the first stone," Braxton told the website, as
confirmed by PEOPLE.

"The one difference in this case being that the woman was caught in
the act and her accusers brought her forward. I want to remind
everyone that we live in the greatest country in the entire world, one
that prides itself on the moral law that everyone is innocent until
proven guilty. That's where we stand at this time with the allegations
brought against my uncle."

Interestingly, the production company executive also seemed to suggest
the "attacks" were an attempt to muzzle the kind of "uplifting" and
"inspirational" content that Cosby Media produces. The company's
websitesays its mission is to develop content "that will entertain the
mind and inspire the soul, from books, TV, film and music."

"With my company, Cosby Media Productions, we will continue to push
content that reflects the same positivity," Braxton told
FarrahGray.com. "I feel that the goal here was to destroy the attempts
to instill that type of entertainment going into the next year.
Thankfully, it will not succeed."

In the meantime, two more venues in Washington and Connecticut
reportedly announcedthey were cancelling upcoming appearances
featuring the comedian, amid accusations that he sexually assaulted
several women. Cosby's attorney has called some of the
claims"fantastical."
