Bill Cosby Says God Blessed Him With Gift to Heal the Soul, Warm Hearts
Bill Cosby insists God has blessed him with the opportunity to do comedy, despite recent backlash in the midst of sexual assault allegations brought against him.
While he has not been charged, over two dozen women have accused the 77-year-old comedian of drugging them, sexual assault, or both. Cosby became popular due to the 1980s and 1990s family sitcom "The Cosby Show," decades worth of stand up comedy routines and community service.
The recent accusations brought against the comedian may have mired Cosby's image for some, but the comedian is still pressing forth with his comedy tour across North America. Ahead of his Jan 30. tour date in Sandusky, Ohio, Cosby has written a letter to his supporters in the community who purchased tickets in order to watch him perform.

"Dear Fans: GOD has Blessed me with a wonderful gift to share with all of my fans. For 53 years I have continued to master this gift, which heals the soul and warms hearts, Laughter!" Cosby wrote in a message posted in the Sandusky Register. "I thank you, the theatre staff (Sandusky State Theater), the event organizers and the Sandusky Community for your continued support and coming to experience family, fun entertainment. Let's Do It Again -- I'm Far From Finished."
While Cosby is being hit with defamation lawsuits, his previous television family from The Cosby Show have done nothing more than sing his praises. The latest to speak up recently is Cosby's television son, Malcolm Jamal Warner.
Warner, the 44-year-old actor, looks to comedian Bill Cosby as a mentor and did not shy away from speaking about his positive contributions to the community recently to Billboard.
"I can't really speak on any of the allegations because obviously, I was not there," he told Billboard. "The Bill Cosby I know has been great to me and great for a lot of people. I can't speak on the other stuff."
