A manager for the actress who played Cosby's daughter on 'The Cosby Show' says he had the fake account suspended.

AceShowbiz - Actress Lisa Bonet, who played Bill Cosby's daughter on "The Cosby Show", did not send cryptic tweet alluding to Bill Cosby rape allegations. An unverified Twitter page which seemingly belongs to the actress previously sent out a tweet which apparently was directed to the actor. "According to the karma of past actions, one's destiny unfolds, even though everyone wants to be so lucky... Nothing stays in the dark 4ever!" read the tweet.
Bonet's manager, however, confirmed on Sunday, November 23 that the account was fake. "I can assure you that is not her Twitter account and I have had the account suspended," talent manager Jillian Neal told TheWrap.
Cosby has been making headlines after some women who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by the comedian, including model Janice Dickinson, came forward with their stories. The actor's lawyer has released statements denying the allegations, and on Friday Cosby himself defended his silence in regards to the accusations.
"I know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn't have to answer to innuendos," he told Florida Today prior to his performance in Florida. "People should fact-check. People shouldn't have to go through that and shouldn't answer to innuendos."
Over the weekend, another person shared a story about his alleged womanizing way. Ex-NBC employee Frank Scotti told NY Daily News that Cosby paid off eight women between 1989-90. According to Scotti, Cosby gave him "a satchel of money, all $100 bill" to distribute. He also said he stood guard at the door when Cosby invited some models, some of them were as young as 16, to his Brooklyn dressing room.
Scotti later quit the job. "It bothered me... You've got all of these kids, every time. I used to like him, but that's the reason I quit him after so many years - because of the girls," he said.
Cosby's lawyer Martin Singer has responded to Scotti's story. "What evidence does he have of Mr. Cosby's involvement? How would Scotti know if a woman was a model or a secretary? It appears that his story is pure speculation so that he can get his 15 minutes of fame," Singer commented.
