Phylicia Rashad has landed her third consecutive Emmy nom for ThisIsUs EmmyNoms
Rashad notably collaborated with disgraced actor and comedian Bill Cosby on that iconic sitcom, which ran on NBC between 1984 and 1992, and on the CBS sitcom, which aired between 1996 and 2000. On the former series, she played Clair Huxtable, the wife of Cosby’s Dr. Heathcliff ‘Cliff’ Huxtable. On the latter, she portrayed Ruth, wife to Cosby’s Hilton Lucas.
Comments on Rashad’s tweet were closed, and viewable only to those she followed. Less than an hour after her post was published, though, it had engendered more than 10,000 retweets with added commentary, much of which was critical of her position. Rashad, who also serves as dean of Howard University’s College of Fine Arts, later extended her “most sincere apology” to students and parents affiliated with the institution, in the form of a letter. “My remarks were in no way directed towards survivors of sexual assault. I vehemently oppose sexual violence, find no excuse for such behavior, and I know that Howard University has a zero-tolerance policy toward interpersonal violence,” she wrote.
