Bill Cosby apparently finds allegations of rape to be prime comedic fodder.
Performing a stand-up routine in Ontario on Thursday night, the embattled star reportedly cracked at least one joke about the many sexual assault accusations women have leveled at him over the past few weeks.
At one point during his Budweiser Gardens appearance, Cosby asked a woman leaving the front row and asked where she was headed.
She replied that she was going to grab a drink and she asked if he would like one as well.
"I already have one," Cosby said, pointing to a bottle of water next to him on stage and adding: "You have to be careful about drinking around me."
Over 20 women, of course, have claimed Cosby took sexual advantage of them; many have alleged he did so by drugging their drinks.
His related quip last night drew a few gasps and was then followed by claps and laughter. He also received a standing ovation at the conclusion of the show.
But not everything was peachy keen for Cosby.
Two attendees were ejected from the venue after one of them yelled, "We don't love you, Bill!" and then added, while being dragged away by security:
"You are a rapist. I'm being ejected because you are a rapist."
Stephen Collins gained fame for playing the Reverend Eric Camden on wholesome family series 7th Heaven. In real life, Collins has been accused of molesting several children, and has confessed to at least one sexual assault.
Earlier this week, Cosby's former on-screen wife, Phylicia Rashad, got into hot water when it was initially reported she said to "forget" the women who had accused Cosby of rape.
But Rashad later said she was misquoted, is not in a position to discuss the allegations and is sad over the "obliteration of a legacy" without any real proof.
