Bill Cosby has spoken out about the way the media has dealt with the sexual assault allegations made against him.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the comedian was reached by phone at his home and specifically called out journalists writing for Black media.

“Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism, and when you do that, you have to go in with a neutral mind.”

When asked about how his wife Camille is holding up amidst the allegations against him, Cosby had this to say::

“Love and the strength of womanhood. Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love.”

Beverly Johnson is the most recent woman to come out with an allegation of being drugged by Cosby.

Cosby reportedly sounded upbeat for his interview but kept the conversation brief saying, “They don’t want me talking to the media.”
