(8,200 posts)This relative is now deceased and it is only hearsay, but I think he was definitely relating the truth of the incident. A friend of his told him that Cosby had made improper advances on his daughter. This person was a promenade and respected member of an organization that was dedicated to helping young people who were from disadvantage situations. He had several friends in the entertainment business and through them he got Cosby to appear at one of his fund raiser when he happened to be in town. He was so enrage that he told my relative that he had told Crosby that if he made any more attempts to seduce his daughter, who was only seventeen at the time, he would shoot the bastard. This was more than twenty years ago and when I related the incident to my son he couldn't believe it. He like many were dedicated fans and just thought it was an exaggeration. I tended to believe it although it went against the widespread popularity and adulation of Cosby.
