The onslaught of sexual assault allegations against [Bill Cosby](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:BillCosby,00.html) has clearly shaken the comedy community.

[Jerry Seinfeld](http://www.people.com/article/martin-short-jerry-seinfeld-pictionary-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show) shared his emotional reaction with PEOPLE at the _Top Five_ movie premiere in New York City on Wednesday night.

“I was very upset, very upset. Still upset. I don’t know what to make of it, but it’s just upsetting,” said Seinfeld, 60.

More than a dozen women have come forward, claiming that Cosby, 77, star of _The Cosby Show_, drugged and sexually abused them. Cosby has denied the allegations through his lawyers, and in November, attorney Martin Singer released a statement [on Cosby’s behalf](http://www.people.com/article/bill-cosby-rape-laywer-statement-martin-singer), saying, “These brand new claims about alleged decades-old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous.”

Cosby, of course, has performed and worked with many comedians in the industry.

The 2002 documentary _Comedian_, about Seinfeld’s stand-up comedy, ends with him seeing Cosby performing stand-up and commenting on Cosby’s form and dedication.

Seinfeld and Chris Rock – the star of _Top Five_ – also [presented Cosby](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/seinfeld-rock-honor-funny-man-bill-cosby/) with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2009.

Rock’s reaction has been similar to Seinfeld’s.

“I don’t know what to say. What do you say? I hope it’s not true,” Rock, 49, [told Vulture recently](http://www.vulture.com/2014/11/chris-rock-frank-rich-in-conversation.html). “I grew up on Cosby. I love Cosby, and I just hope it’s not true. It’s a weird year for comedy. We lost Robin \[Williams\], we lost Joan \[Rivers\], and we kind of lost Cosby.”

Cosby on Tuesday [broke his silence](http://www.people.com/article/bill-cosby-thanks-whoopi-goldberg-jill-scott) about the allegations, Tweeting messages of thanks to Whoopi Goldberg and Jill Scott, who have publicly supported him.

But then things got worse on Wednesday, as [three more accusers](http://www.people.com/article/gloria-allred-new-accusers-bill-cosby-sexual-assault) stepped forward and demanded that Cosby create a $100 million in a fund for his alleged victims.
