— Damon Wayans (@DamonkWayans) September 6, 2015Damon received backlash after he dismissed Bill's rape scandal which involved more than 30 women as a "money hustle." He said during the "Breakfast Club" interview on Friday, September 4, "If I was [Cosby], I would divorce my wife, wink-wink, give her all my money, and then I would go do a deposition. I would light one of them three-hour cigars. I'd have some wine and maybe a Quaalude, and I would just go off, because I don't believe that he was raping."
"How big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years?" he added. "If you listen to them talk, they go, 'Well, the first time ...' The first time? B***h, how many times did it happen? Just listen to what they're saying and some of them really is unrape-able. I look at them and go, 'You don't want that. Get outta here.' "
